Is the Focus Noisy?
Is the Focus Noisy?
I took this HDR video with the 85 GM II and A7R5 both outdoors and inside.
The audio is from A7R5. Even in pans and hunting moments, there is minimal to no AF noise.

Two programmable buttons is interesting, can you program them independently or are they just for portrait and landscape?
The two focus hold buttons on the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens are customizable for different functions, but not independently--both buttons will always have the same function.

CAN YOU USE A 1.4 OR 2.0 TC?
The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II Lens is not compatible with teleconverters. In general 85mm lenses are not compatible with teleconverters either. Teleconverters tend to only work with lenses that are 200mm or more.

How is the linear pincushion distortion on this new version?
The Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM II lens shows a notable improvement in optical performance over its predecessor, including in the area of distortion control. Linear distortion, particularly pincushion distortion, is very minimal on the GM II version. This is consistent with expectations for a high-end prime portrait lens, especially at this focal length. Any distortion present is negligible and easily correctable in post-processing if needed.

Is there a signifiant optical performance improvement over the first version? Like a new glass element, better compression, etc.
For sharpness, down low (f1.4 and f1.8) there is a pretty massive improvement. At f2.8 and higher is about the same as the original GM. One of the biggest improvements though is AF performance.
