The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens builds on the success of its predecessor with improved bokeh and higher resolution at all apertures, thanks to advanced lens technology. It offers full autofocus (AF) performance with α-series cameras and is notably compact and lightweight, enhancing both image quality and ease of use.

The lens features Sony’s latest optical innovations, including 2 extreme aspherical (XA) elements and 2 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements, which deliver exceptional sharpness and minimise chromatic aberration. The Nano AR Coating II reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring excellent image clarity. The lens has a minimum focus distance of 0.85 meters for AF and 0.8 meters for manual focus (MF).

Enhanced optics improve the bokeh quality compared to the previous model. The 11-blade circular aperture and advanced spherical aberration control contribute to smoother transitions between sharp focus and background blur.

Format 35mm full frame
Maximum aperture f/1.4
Minimum aperture f/1.6
Dust and moisture resistant

Ideal for video, the lens features Real-time Recognition AF for precise and quiet subject tracking. It minimises focus breathing, supports body breathing compensation, and offers a click-less aperture ring and Linear Response MF for smooth control.

A great portrait lens gets even better

The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II follows the acclaimed FE 85mm f/1.4 GM with equally stunning bokeh plus higher resolution at all apertures thanks to the latest lens technology. It also supports full AF speed and precision with α™ -series bodies. The lens is remarkably compact and lightweight, adding agility to extraordinary image quality. A great G Master™ portrait lens for maximum creative control.

Optical performance
Ultimate freedom for creative portraiture

The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II features Sony's latest lens technology, following the acclaimed FE 85mm f/1.4 GM with equally stunning bokeh and higher resolution even at f/1.4. It offers full AF performance with α-series bodies and is remarkably compact and lightweight. The perfect G Master portrait lens for maximum agility and creative control.

Even sharper with gorgeous bokeh

2 XA (extreme aspherical) elements achieve an eye-opening resolution to the image edges, while 2 ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements minimise chromatic aberration. Sony's Nano AR Coating II suppresses flare and ghosting for outstanding resolution and clarity. Minimum focus distance is 0.85 m (AF)/0.8 m (MF).

Smoother bokeh transitions

The acclaimed performance of the previous model is enhanced by new optics that control chromatic aberration for more natural bokeh. An 11-blade circular aperture helps too, while precisely controlled spherical aberration and XA (extreme aspherical) elements reduce onion-ring bokeh for smooth transitions from sharp focus to deep f/1.4 bokeh.

AF performance
Top AF performance with α-series bodies

2 XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and high-speed control give the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II up to 3x faster AF speed. Moving subject tracking is improved by as much as 7x, for reliable capture even when using a narrow depth of field at f/1.4. The 120 fps capability of the α9 III with its global shutter is fully supported.

Mobility & Operability
20% less mass, stunning images

First-class bokeh and resolution in a compact lens. XA (extreme aspherical) elements, refined optics, XD (extreme dynamic) motors, and a circular aperture unit achieve superb large-aperture performance in an 84.7 x 107.3 mm (4-1/4 lens that weighs only 642 g. 13% less volume and 20% less mass for agile shooting.

An ideal 85mm f/1.4 lens for filmmaking

The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II is ideal for filming people. It works with Real-time Recognition AF in α-series bodies, for fast, precise, quiet subject tracking that maintains sharp focus even at f/1.4. Focus breathing is minimal, and body breathing compensation is supported. Click-less aperture ring operation and Linear Response MF allow smooth, intuitive control.

Professional control

2 customisable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch offer flexible operability, while an independent aperture ring and Linear Response MF focus control provide the kind of intuitive control that creative shooting demands. The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II accepts 77mm threaded filters.

Reliability
Rugged reliability

A dust and moisture-resistant design ensures reliability in challenging outdoor conditions. The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels fingerprints, dust, water, oil, and other contaminants.
