Sony G Master SEL85F14GM2 85mm
The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II is 20% lighter and 13% smaller than its predecessor, with an XD Linear Motor for fast, quiet autofocus. Its 11-blade diaphragm and fluorine coating deliver smooth bokeh and easy cleaning, while the aperture de-click switch suits video work. Best for portrait and event photographers who need a sharp, weather-sealed prime for shallow depth-of-field stills and video.
