The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens brings G Master optical performance to a refined, lightweight portrait prime. Combining a classic 85mm focal length with a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, it delivers outstanding subject separation, smooth background blur, and excellent low-light capability. Its advanced optics incorporate two XA and two ED elements for impressive resolution and natural rendering. Two XD Linear Motors provide fast, precise, and quiet autofocus, while the redesigned barrel is approximately 20% lighter and 13% smaller in volume than its predecessor. Dedicated aperture, focus, and video controls make it ideal for both photography and filmmaking.

85mm f/1.4 G Master II 642g

Overview

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II represents the second generation of Sony's premium G Master portrait prime lens, combining improved sharpness, autofocus, and handling for professional photography and video production.

Its 85mm focal length provides a flattering perspective for portraits, events, and subject-focused compositions, with a 29° angle of view on full-frame cameras.

The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture supports low-light shooting and offers exceptional control over shallow depth of field, enabling clear subject separation from backgrounds.

An optical construction of 14 elements in 11 groups incorporates specialized glass elements for improved resolution, contrast, and aberration control.

Advanced autofocus, intuitive physical controls, and a dust- and moisture-resistant design make the lens a versatile choice for demanding image-making.
