Stunning G Master bokeh with smoother transitions
The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II carries on the acclaimed performance of the previous model with a new optical design that controls chromatic aberration for more natural bokeh. An 11-blade circular aperture provides further enhancement, while precisely controlled spherical aberration works with XA (extreme aspherical) elements to minimise onion-ring bokeh. All of this means smooth transitions from sharp focus to deep bokeh at F1.4.
The full AF speed and precision of advanced α-series bodies realised
2 XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and high-speed control give the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II AF speed that is up to 3x faster3 than previous model2. Moving subject tracking is improved by as much as 7×4, allowing reliable capture even when using extremely narrow depth of field at F1.4. The 120 fps5 capability of the α9 III with its global shutter is fully supported. The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II offers extraordinary creative control for serious portraiture.
20% less mass with no image quality compromise
XA (extreme aspherical) elements, refined optics, XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors, and a compact circular aperture unit pack superb large-aperture performance into a barrel that measures just 84.7 (3-3/8 inch) x 107.3 mm (4-1/4 inch) and weighs only 642 g (22.7 oz.). That’s about 13% less volume and 20% less mass for outstanding agility and matching with compact α-series bodies.
An ideal 85mm F1.4 lens for filmmaking
The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II is a great choice for filming people. It works perfectly with Real-time Recognition AF in α-series bodies, for fast, precise, quiet subject tracking that maintains sharp focus on moving subjects even at F1.4. Focus breathing has been minimised, and body breathing compensation is supported. The aperture ring can be switched to click-less operation, and Linear Response MF allows smooth manual focus control.
