This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

After all these years, Sony has introduced an updated 85mm f/1.4. The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II promises a significant improvement in image quality over its predecessor. This makes it well suited to the fastest autofocus and high-resolution sensors.

The FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II is the ideal portrait lens. The focal length provides a natural rendering of the subject, without perspective distortion.

The wide f/1.4 aperture allows you to create a shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh. The blur is soft, with an attractive transition from sharp to out of focus.

The lens measures 84.7 x 107.3 mm and weighs 642 grams. It features two ED glass elements, two aspherical XA lenses and a Nano AR Coating II. Autofocus is provided by two XD linear motors.

You get an aperture ring that can be switched between clicked and clickless operation, two customisable lens buttons and an AF/MF switch. There is no built-in image stabilisation.

An extensive review of this excellent lens will be published soon. I have spent the past few weeks taking plenty of photographs with it.

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II will be available from early September 2024 at a recommended retail price of around 2,100 euros.
