FE 85mm F1.4 GM II lens

A Great Portrait Lens Gets Even Better

The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II improves upon the acclaimed FE 85mm F1.4 GM, offering equally stunning bokeh and higher resolution at all apertures, thanks to the latest lens technology. It supports full AF speed and precision with α™-series bodies. Moreover, the lens remains remarkably compact and lightweight, which enhances its agility while delivering extraordinary image quality. As a result, it provides maximum creative control for portraiture.

Next-Level G Master Performance

Even Sharper with Gorgeous Bokeh 2 XA (extreme aspherical) elements deliver eye-opening resolution across the entire image, while two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration. Consequently, you can capture eyes and expressions with stunning clarity, no matter the framing. Additionally, Sony’s Nano AR Coating II effectively suppresses flare and ghosting in nearly any lighting condition. The minimum focus distance measures 0.85 m (2.79 ft) for AF and 0.8 m (2.63 ft) for MF.

Stunning G Master Bokeh with Smoother Transitions

Building on the performance of its predecessor, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II features a new optical design that controls chromatic aberration to create more natural bokeh. Furthermore, an 11-blade circular aperture enhances the effect, and precisely controlled spherical aberration works with XA (extreme aspherical) elements to minimize onion-ring bokeh. This combination enables smooth transitions from sharp focus to deep bokeh at F1.4.

Full AF Speed and Precision with Advanced α-Series Bodies

The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II benefits from two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and high-speed control, achieving AF speeds up to 3x faster than its predecessor. Moving subject tracking improves by up to 7x, allowing for reliable capture even when using an extremely narrow depth of field at F1.4. Additionally, the lens fully supports the 120 fps capability of the α9 III, ensuring smooth tracking even while zooming.

20% Less Mass with No Image Quality Compromise

Thanks to XA (extreme aspherical) elements, refined optics, XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors, and a compact circular aperture unit, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II delivers superb large-aperture performance within a barrel measuring just 84.7 mm (3-3/8 inch) x 107.3 mm (4-1/4 inch) and weighing only 642 g (22.7 oz.). This design results in approximately 13% less volume and 20% less mass, offering excellent agility and seamless compatibility with compact α-series bodies.

An Ideal 85mm F1.4 Lens for Filmmaking

The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II excels in filmmaking, especially when filming people. It pairs perfectly with Real-time Recognition AF in α-series bodies for fast, precise, and quiet subject tracking, ensuring sharp focus on moving subjects even at F1.4. Focus breathing is minimized, and body breathing compensation is supported. Additionally, you can switch the aperture ring to click-less operation, and the Linear Response MF ensures smooth manual focus control.

Top-Class Control and Reliability for Professional Applications

The lens includes two customizable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch, offering flexible operability. The independent aperture ring, coupled with Linear Response MF, provides intuitive control for creative shooting. The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II accepts 77 mm threaded filters. Additionally, its dust and moisture-resistant design ensures reliability in challenging outdoor conditions, while a fluorine coating on the front element repels contaminants effectively.
