A remarkable G Master portrait lens for maximum creative control.
Optical Performance
Ultimate Freedom for Creative Portraiture
The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II features Sony’s latest lens technology, delivering equally stunning bokeh and higher resolution, even at F1.4. With full AF performance on α-series bodies, this lens is remarkably compact and lightweight. It’s the ideal G Master portrait lens for maximum agility and creative control.
Sharper with Gorgeous Bokeh
Two XA (extreme aspherical) elements deliver exceptional resolution right to the image edges, while two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements minimise chromatic aberration. Sony’s Nano AR Coating II reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring outstanding resolution and clarity. The minimum focus distance is 0.85 m (AF) / 0.8 m (MF).
Smoother Bokeh Transitions
Enhanced optics control chromatic aberration for more natural bokeh, supported by an 11-blade circular aperture. Precisely controlled spherical aberration and XA elements reduce onion-ring bokeh, offering smooth transitions from sharp focus to deep F1.4 bokeh.
AF Performance
Top AF Performance with α-Series Bodies
Two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and high-speed control provide the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II with up to 3x faster AF speed. Moving subject tracking is improved by as much as 7x, ensuring reliable capture even when using narrow depth of field at F1.4. The 120 fps capability of the α9 III with its global shutter is fully supported.
Mobility & Operability
20% Less Mass, Stunning Images
Experience first-class bokeh and resolution in a compact lens. With XA elements, refined optics, XD motors, and a circular aperture unit, this lens achieves superb large-aperture performance in a compact form, measuring 8.47 cm x 10.73 cm and weighing only 0.642 kg. It offers 13% less volume and 20% less mass for agile shooting.
An Ideal 85mm F1.4 Lens for Filmmaking
Perfect for filming people, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II works with Real-time Recognition AF in α-series bodies for fast, precise, and quiet subject tracking, maintaining sharp focus even at F1.4. Minimal focus breathing and body breathing compensation are supported, while a click-less aperture ring and Linear Response MF enable smooth, intuitive control.
Professional Control
Two customisable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch provide flexible operability. An independent aperture ring and Linear Response MF focus control offer the intuitive control demanded by creative shooting. The lens accepts 77 mm threaded filters.
