The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens reimagines one of Sony’s most iconic portrait primes, delivering faster autofocus, smoother bokeh, and enhanced video capabilities in a slimmer and lighter design. Perfect for portrait, event, and shallow depth-of-field shooting, this G Master update maintains the stunning sharpness and rich bokeh that made the original a favorite, while integrating new features to meet the demands of modern hybrid creators.
Driven by Sony’s XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motor, the autofocus system is significantly improved over its predecessor, offering quieter, faster, and more precise focusing—ideal for both still photography and high-frame-rate video. The lens supports tracking at up to 120 fps when paired with cameras like the Sony a9 III, making it excellent for capturing fast-moving subjects. An internal focusing design enhances responsiveness and maintains the lens’s overall length during operation.
For video creators, the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II brings thoughtful enhancements tailored to cinematic workflows. Focus breathing is minimized, and the lens supports Sony’s Breathing Compensation function on select Alpha and Cine Line cameras. Focus tracking remains precise and fluid, even when shooting at high frame rates like 120p. The lens also features Linear Response Manual Focus, ensuring intuitive and repeatable control when pulling focus.
A physical aperture ring adds to the tactile shooting experience and can be de-clicked for smooth, silent adjustments during video recording. Whether you’re shooting detailed portraits or crafting professional video content, the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II is built to deliver top-tier performance with refined control in a compact, versatile form factor.
