What makes the Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II a strong choice for portraits?
It delivers breathtaking G Master image quality right out to the edges of the frame, paired with a large F1.4 aperture and 11-blade circular aperture that produce magnificent, smooth bokeh. This combination isolates subjects beautifully, making it ideal for portrait, fashion, wedding, and event photography.
How fast is the autofocus on the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II?
The lens uses two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors for fast, precise, and quiet autofocus for both stills and movies. It delivers up to 3x faster AF and up to 7x more effective subject tracking compared to the original FE 85mm F1.4 GM.
Is the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II suitable for high-resolution Alpha cameras?
Yes. It is designed to deliver higher resolution at all apertures than the original 85mm GM while maintaining equally stunning bokeh, making it a strong match for high-resolution full-frame Alpha bodies.
What optical technology gives the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II its smooth bokeh?
It uses two XA (extreme aspherical) elements to suppress onion-ring bokeh and spherical aberrations, along with an 11-blade circular aperture for rounded, smooth background blur. Two ED elements also help reduce chromatic aberration and color fringing.
Is the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II good for video work?
Yes. Its quiet, fast autofocus, minimized focus breathing with support for Sony's Breathing Compensation, a de-click switch for silent aperture changes, and Linear Response MF make it well suited for video on compatible Alpha and cine-line bodies.
How much lighter is the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II than the original?
It is compact and lightweight for a fast 85mm at roughly 642 g (22.7 oz), about 180 g lighter than the first-generation FE 85mm F1.4 GM, which improves handling especially on smaller bodies.
What controls and switches does the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II have?
It features a physical aperture ring from f/1.4 to f/16 with an Auto position, a de-click switch, an Iris Lock switch, an AF/MF switch, and two customizable Focus Hold/Function buttons for quick, tactile control.
Is the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II weather-sealed?
Yes. It has a thorough dust- and moisture-resistant design with a rear gasket and internal seals on seams, buttons, and switches, plus a fluorine coating on the front element to resist fingerprints, dust, and oil. Note that it is not guaranteed to be 100% dust and moisture proof.
What cameras is the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II compatible with?
It works with all Sony Alpha full-frame E-mount cameras and supports advanced AF features and Breathing Compensation on compatible bodies. It can support continuous AF tracking at up to 120 fps with cameras like the Alpha 9 III.
How much does the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II cost?
MSRP is listed as $1,949.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
