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 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.

Just as camera design has grown to appeal to both photo and video shooters, this lens has also been updated with a series of attributes that specifically appeal to video shooters' needs:

• Focus tracking is precise and smooth.
• Focus breathing is further minimized, with added support for the Breathing Compensation function in select cine-line and Alpha cameras.
• Linear Response MF provides natural, intuitive manual focus control.
• Physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications.
