Sony Release the 85mm f/1.4 GM II

Sony's 85mm f/1.4 G Master is an earlier G Master lens, and Sony has already begun to launch successor products for some of the early G Master lenses. On the other hand, in the full-frame mirrorless market, Sony's two main competitors, Canon and Nikon, have also launched 85mm f/1.2 lenses, So Sony must release a new 85mm lens, but the maximum aperture of the second-generation 85mm GM lens will still be f/1.4.

According to the feedback from the reviewers who have already received the 85mm f/1.4 GM II in advance, the 85mm f/1.4 GM II has been improved in the following aspects compared with the previous generation:

• Weight reduction of 178g

• Smaller and more compact

• Autofocus is faster and quieter

• Image quality improved

We don't know whether the performance of the 85mm f/1.4 GM II has been improved during video recording, but the video performance of GM lenses has always been excellent. With the Sony camera body, the focusing speed will definitely be faster than third-party lenses.

In addition, the 85mm f/1.4 GM II still maintains the same 77mm filter mount as the previous generation. For such an expensive lens, it is quite necessary to invest in a high-quality UV protection filter.
