Enhanced Optics for Beautiful Bokeh

The Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens is designed to deliver exceptional sharpness and bokeh quality, providing rich, detailed images with a soft, dreamy background blur.

• Bright f/1.4 Aperture: A fast f/1.4 maximum aperture allows for shooting in low light and gives you greater control over depth of field, ideal for isolating subjects and creating beautiful background blur.
• Nano AR II Coating: Reduces reflections, flare, and ghosting, ensuring higher contrast and accurate color rendering even in challenging lighting conditions.
• Smooth Bokeh: The rounded 11-blade diaphragm and two XA (extreme aspherical) elements minimize aberrations and “onion ring” bokeh, ensuring smooth, natural-looking background blur.
• Advanced Clarity: Two extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, delivering improved clarity and color accuracy.

Superior Autofocus Performance

Built with an upgraded XD (extreme dynamic) linear motor, the Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM II offers incredibly fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus, perfect for both stills and video.

• Quick and Precise AF: The XD linear motor provides faster and more precise autofocus than previous models, ensuring sharp focus even with fast-moving subjects.
• High-Speed Shooting: Supports shooting at up to 120 frames per second when paired with cameras like the Sony a9 III, maintaining focus even in rapid burst modes.
• Internal Focusing Design: Keeps the lens length constant for responsive focusing performance and balanced handling.
