Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II portrait lens: Features
Compared to the current 85mm F1.4 GM1, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II (642 grams, 22.7 oz.) is approximately 20% lighter and 13% smaller in volume, which is achieved through the latest mechanical technology and optical design, says Sony. The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II has a filter diameter of φ77 mm (about 3.03 inches), diameter of 84.7 mm (about 3.33 inches) and length of 107.3 mm (about 4.22 inches).
Packed with two XA (extreme aspherical) and two ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses, the state-of-the-art optical design effectively suppresses aberrations, claims Sony.
The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II’s AF is agile, maximising the speed advantage of advanced camera bodies. For stills, it is up to 3 times faster compared to the previous model, claims Sony.
For smooth movie creation at F1.4, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II has an XD linear motor. It has two customisable focus hold buttons and an AF/MF switch offers flexible operability while an independent aperture ring and Linear Response MF focus control provide the kind of intuitive control that creative shooting demands, says the Japanese tech giant.
