Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens Bundle with 77mm UV Filter + Deluxe Photo Starter Kit + Microfiber Cleaning Cloth (4 Items)

Sony has enhanced its most sought-after portrait prime lens with the introduction of the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens, which boasts a slimmer design, improved trimming, and new features. This upgraded lens offers faster autofocus, a more refined bokeh, and functionality that is conducive to video production. With exceptional G Master sharpness and bokeh quality, it provides outstanding image quality that is ideal for capturing stills and videos in portraiture, events, and various applications requiring shallow depth of field.

Stunning G Master bokeh

The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II continues the esteemed legacy of the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM, featuring a newly developed optical design that effectively manages chromatic aberration, resulting in a more natural bokeh effect. An 11-blade circular aperture further enhances this quality, while meticulously controlled spherical aberration, in conjunction with XA (extreme aspherical) elements, reduces the occurrence of onion-ring bokeh. This combination facilitates seamless transitions from sharp focus to rich bokeh at f/1.4. The inclusion of 2 XA elements ensures exceptional resolution extending to the edges of the image. Capturing eyes and expressions with remarkable clarity is achievable, regardless of the framing. Additionally, Sony's Nano AR Coating II minimizes flare and ghosting across various lighting conditions. The minimum focus distance is 2.79 feet (0.85 meters) for autofocus and 2.63 feet (0.8 meters) for manual focus.

AF Speed and Precision

The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II features two XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors and advanced high-speed control, resulting in autofocus performance that is up to three times quicker than its predecessor. The tracking of moving subjects has seen an enhancement of up to seven times, ensuring dependable capture even with the very shallow depth of field at f/1.4. Additionally, the 120 fps functionality of the a9 III, equipped with a global shutter, is fully compatible. This lens provides exceptional creative control, making it an ideal choice for professional portrait photography.

Ideal for Filmmaking

The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II is an excellent option for filmmakers. It seamlessly integrates with Real-time Recognition AF in a-series cameras, enabling rapid, accurate, and silent subject tracking that ensures sharp focus on dynamic subjects, even at f/1.4. Focus breathing has been significantly reduced, and in-body breathing compensation is available. The aperture ring can be adjusted for click-less operation, while Linear Response MF provides a smooth and intuitive manual focus experience.

Body Design

• The device features two customizable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch, allowing for versatile operation. Additionally, the independent aperture ring and Linear Response MF focus control facilitate intuitive handling for creative photography. The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II is compatible with 77mm threaded filters.
  
  
• The inclusion of two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements effectively minimizes flare and ghosting by eliminating both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration caused by variations in magnification. This design enhances resolution and bokeh, ensuring that edges are rendered with precision, free from fringing or unnatural color distortions, extending seamlessly to the edges of the image.
  
  
• The design is resistant to dust and moisture, ensuring dependable performance in demanding outdoor environments. The front lens element is treated with a fluorine coating that effectively repels fingerprints, dust, water, oil, and various other contaminants.
