The Sony has upgraded its most popular portrait prime with the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens, featuring faster autofocus, smoother bokeh, and video-friendly functionality. Delivering top-of-the-line G Master sharpness and bokeh quality, the lens' pleasing image quality is well-suited for stills and videos in portrait, event, and other shallow depth of field applications. Sony continues to push the boundaries of G Master excellence with the 85mm f/1.4 GM II, improving its edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast through the correction of a wide variety of spherical and chromatic aberrations. A Nano AR II Coating has been applied to reduce surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions. Two XA elements are now incorporated into the optical design, which features superior surface precision to suppress "onion ring" bokeh and for effective control over astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other spherical aberrations. The autofocus is controlled by an XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor that contributes to greatly improved focusing performance, compared to the DDSSM system of the predecessor, including faster, quieter, and more precise AF that's ideal for both video and stills. Internal focusing design promotes snappier, more responsive focusing performance. Focus breathing is further minimized, with added support for the Breathing Compensation function in select cine-line and Alpha cameras. Dust- and moisture-resistant design includes rubber gaskets at each seam and a rubber ring sealing the lens mount for ensured use when working in inclement weather conditions.
