Sony’s G Master lens technology delivers extraordinary resolution and bokeh in a compact, lightweight 85mm lens. With outstanding image-wide resolution and contrast from F1.4, this fast, responsive lens offers sharp realism for stills and movies that will satisfy users from advanced amateurs to the most discerning professionals.
2 XA (extreme aspherical) elements achieve eye-opening resolution right out to the image edges. Eyes and expressions can be captured with stunning clarity regardless of framing. Sony's Nano AR Coating II suppresses flare and ghosting in just about any lighting. Minimum focus distance is 2.79ft (0.85m) (AF) / 2.63ft (0.8 m) (MF).
The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II carries on the acclaimed performance of the FE 85mm F1 .4 GM 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 minimize onion-ring bokeh. All of this means smooth transitions from sharp focus to deep bokeh at F1 .4.
Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements significantly reduce flare and ghosting by taking axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration (due to differences in magnification) out of the picture. Resolution and bokeh is maximized while leaving precisely rendered edges without fringing or unnatural coloration right out to the image edges.
The aperture ring can be switched to click-less operation, and Linear Response MF allows smooth and intuitive manual focus control. The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels fingerprints, dust, water, oil, and other contaminants.
