Redefining Portraiture Excellence: Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens

Building upon the legendary reputation of its predecessor, the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II is a masterclass in optical engineering, tailored specifically for portrait photographers, wedding professionals, and high-end cinematic creators. Evolved to match the speed and precision of modern mirrorless bodies, this second-generation G Master prime lens delivers breathtaking corner-to-corner sharpness, significantly suppressed chromatic aberrations, and magnificent, organic bokeh.

Engineered for absolute agility in the field, the Mark II has been meticulously redesigned to be 20% lighter and roughly 13% smaller in volume than the original model, reducing fatigue during all-day shoots. Under the hood, the transition to dual XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motors transforms its autofocus capabilities, providing up to 3x faster tracking performance and seamless, silent focus transitions for video production. Combined with physical controls like an iris lock switch, de-click aperture ring, and a weather-sealed dust- and moisture-resistant construction, the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II stands as the ultimate benchmark for medium-telephoto prime performance.

Professional Studio Features

  • Next-Gen XD Linear Motors: Dual extreme dynamic motors deliver lightning-fast, quiet, and exceptionally accurate autofocus tracking for both high-speed stills and video.

  • Advanced Optical Precision: Features Extreme Aspheric (XA) and Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements that dramatically minimize color fringing, distortion, and spherical aberration.

  • Magnificent G Master Bokeh: A newly designed optical arrangement paired with a rounded 11-blade circular aperture renders out-of-focus highlights with supreme smoothness.

  • Compact & Lightweight Build: Streamlined physical footprint weighs a mere 642g (22.7 oz), offering superior handheld balance and portability.

  • Professional Video Controls: Includes an independent physical aperture ring with a de-click switch for smooth, silent iris adjustments during video recording.

  • Rugged Field Reliability: Fluorine front element coating repels oil, dust, and water smudges, backed by a comprehensive dust- and moisture-resistant design.

💡 Pro-Tip: Assign one of the customizable focus hold buttons on the lens barrel to Eye AF or Tracking On for quick access while framing vertical portraits.

Had a very positive experience buying a scooter. Excellent customer service (thanks to the manager!) on Whatsapp arranging the sale. They have such a large selection of items. The store is very easy to find - it's right next to Noura on the highway. Their prices were super competitive so I would recommend everyone to check out Dslr prior to deciding elsewhere. 10/10
