Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II (SEL85F14GM2)

A Refined Portrait Prime
The Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II is a full-frame portrait lens for Sony E-mount cameras. It is designed for portraits, events, and any work where you want flattering perspective, strong subject separation, and smooth background blur.

Built for Better Performance
This second-generation lens keeps the bright f/1.4 aperture but improves autofocus speed, sharpness, and handling. Sony says it uses two XD linear motors for fast, quiet, and precise focusing, which is useful for both stills and video.

More Compact and Lightweight
Compared with the original version, the GM II is smaller and lighter at about 642 g. That makes it easier to carry for long sessions while still delivering professional-level image quality.

Optical Design
The lens uses 14 elements in 11 groups, including two XA elements and two ED elements. That design helps reduce aberrations and maintain sharp detail even at wide-open apertures. The 11-blade diaphragm also supports attractive, rounded bokeh.
