  • Sony Unveils FE 85mm F1.4 GM II: A Lighter, Faster Lens with Superior Bokeh and Autofocus

    Sony Unveils FE 85mm F1.4 GM II: A Lighter, Faster Lens with Superior Bokeh and Autofocus

    Sony has unveiled the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II (SEL85F14GM2), a premium lens that seamlessly combines high resolution with stunning bokeh and fast autofocus (AF) in a compact form.

    This second-generation lens builds upon the praised optical design of its predecessor, incorporating the latest technology for exceptional performance. Ideal for a range of creative applications, including portraiture, weddings, travel, and cinematic video, the lens is perfectly suited for use with Sony’s latest Alpha™ series cameras.

    High Optical Performance & Beautiful Bokeh

    The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II features an advanced optical design that enhances both bokeh and resolution, making it a top choice for portrait photography. With two XA (extreme aspherical) and two ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses, the design effectively suppresses aberrations, delivering corner-to-corner resolution and exceptional image quality. Sony’s original Nano AR Coating II technology minimizes flare and ghosting, ensuring clear and crisp images. Additionally, the 11-blade circular aperture and careful optimization of spherical aberration contribute to the beautiful, soft bokeh characteristic of the G Master series.

    Fast, Precise, Quiet Autofocus and High Tracking Performance

    In terms of autofocus, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II is significantly improved, offering up to three times faster performance compared to the previous model when used with the Alpha 1. This enhanced speed allows for precise tracking of moving subjects and seamless integration with the Alpha 9 III’s 120fps continuous shooting. The lens also demonstrates a seven-fold improvement in subject tracking performance.

    Lightweight and Stylish Design without Compromises

    The new model is approximately 20% lighter and 13% smaller in volume compared to the previous 85mm F1.4 GM, thanks to advancements in mechanical technology and optical design. The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II weighs 642 grams (22.7 oz.), with a filter diameter of φ77 mm, a diameter of 84.7 mm (about 3-3/8 in), and a length of 107.3 mm (about 4-1/4 in).

    Effective Cinematic Creation Features

    For smooth movie creation at F1.4, the FE 85mm F1.4 GM II incorporates an XD linear motor, reducing focus breathing to a minimum and supporting in-body focus breathing compensation. The lens includes two customizable focus hold buttons, an AF/MF switch for flexible operation, and an independent aperture ring with Linear Response MF focus control, providing intuitive handling for creative shooting.

    Crafted for Durability

    The front lens element is coated with fluorine, making it easy to clean off fingerprints, dust, oil, and other contaminants. Additionally, the dust and moisture-resistant design enhances the lens’s reliability for outdoor use in challenging conditions, though it is not guaranteed to be completely dust and moisture proof.

    Availability

    The FE 85mm F1.4 GM II will be available in Malaysia from September 2024. SRP is RM8,999.

    Sony’s Kando Trip Southeast Asia: A Creative Celebration of Culture and Innovation in Bali 2024

    Sony is delighted to announce the successful conclusion of its inaugural Kando Trip Southeast Asia, held in the picturesque setting of Bali, Indonesia, from 14 to 16 August 2024.

    This landmark, invite-only event brought together over 130 creators from across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, marking a significant milestone in Sony’s commitment to nurturing creative talent and community.

    “Sony’s mission goes beyond merely encouraging creativity; it is about empowering creators to realize their visions and build meaningful connections,” stated Ken Morisawa, Senior General Manager of the Imaging Marketing Division, Global Sales & Marketing, Sony Corporation. “Southeast Asia is a region rich in culture and creativity. Bringing our highly cherished Kando Trip to this region provides a valuable opportunity to foster a vibrant community of creators, offering them a platform to get inspired, learn, and grow with like-minded individuals from across borders.”

    Rooted in the Japanese concept of “Kando,” which means the sense of awe and emotion experienced when encountering something beautiful and amazing for the first time, the Kando Trip embodies Sony’s core philosophy. Launched in North America in 2017, the Kando Trip has since become a highly anticipated event where the creative community unites.

    Sony

    Over three inspiring days, participants engaged in a variety of dynamic photography and videography challenges, complemented by mentorship sessions led by renowned Alpha creators. The event began with an immersive digital imaging experience on the first day, where participants explored Sony’s latest innovations, including the newly released ZV-E10 II and professional Cinema Line cameras, at the Experience Demo Zones. These zones featured presentations by acclaimed creators ZY Cheng and Bagoes Tresna Adji.

    Capturing The Cultural Beauty of Bali

    On the second day, participants traveled to Penglipuran Village for immersive photography and videography sessions. The Photo Creators engaged in activities that highlighted Bali’s vibrant cultural beauty. Guided by talented individuals like Khanh Phan, they captured portraits of Batik artists at work, followed by dynamic shots of a mesmerizing Cendrawasih dance with the Gamelan Gong Kebyar troupe. The session concluded with portraits of traditional Baris, Cendrawasih, and Ramayana dancers under the guidance of Fajar Kristiono and Daneswara Eka.

    Meanwhile, the Video Creators focused on storytelling through motion. They began with a mini documentary on batik-making, guided by Matt Low and Shimmon Joel Matthews, capturing the intricate process with cinematic visuals. Following this, the creators documented the picturesque village views, exploring everything from local life and traditional cuisine to architecture and interiors, with guidance from Jaegen Tan.

    Capturing Coastal Action
    Following their enriching cultural experience at Penglipuran Village, the Creators continued their journey with hands-on activities at Kommune Beach Club to experience Sony’s gear in new and exciting environments.

    At Kommune Beach Club, the Photo Creators were mentored by Harn Teh on Picture-Perfect Poolside Portraits, while mastering the Alpha 9 III’s Flash Sync. Next, the photographers polished their skills through Fast-Action Horse Photography experience with Charmaine and Wee Han. The day’s final photography experience concluded with an Editorial Fashion Photoshoot, led by Fajar and Danes, where the creators captured portraits of models set against a serene landscape.

    Sony

    The Video Creators also engaged in creative experiences at the beach club such as Spectacular Bar Tricks, where they got inspiration from Matt and Shimmon on filming impressive bartending skills and tricks and capturing every detailed motion. Following this, they transformed a simple picnic to a Cinematic Picnic by the Beach with Jaegen, telling a romantic story through cinematic techniques.

    The Kando Trip 2024 concluded with an exclusive and insightful private session featuring three renowned Alpha Creators: (1) AUXOUT, content creator based in Japan, (2) Miki Rai, prolific TikTok creator based in Seattle, and (3) Tavepong, acclaimed Thai street photographer. This final segment provided valuable tips and tricks directly from some of the most respected voices in the creative community across Southeast Asia. 

    With the conclusion of Kando Trip 2024, Sony hopes that creators are inspired by the diverse perspectives and talents of their peers and that they forge lasting connections that extend well beyond the event itself.

Persembahannya dalam soundtrack filem “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” mengukuhkan lagi kedudukannya di Bollywood, membawa kepada lonjakan populariti dan jualan album yang luar biasa. Udit sering berkolaborasi dengan penyanyi terkenal seperti Alka Yagnik, Lata Mangeshkar, dan Kumar Sanu. Antara filem-filem popular yang memaparkan suara mereka adalah Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil To Pagal Hai, Mohabbatein, Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, dan Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, yang kesemuanya berjaya mencatat sejarah dalam industri filem Bollywood.

    Suaranya menjadi kegemaran pengarah muzik terkemuka, memberi peluang kepada Udit untuk bekerjasama dengan nama-nama besar seperti Anu Malik, Jatin Lalit, A. R. Rahman, Rajesh Roshan, dan Shankar Mahadevan. Melalui kerjasama dengan pengarah hebat seperti Yash Chopra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, dan Karan Johar, Udit telah membawa sentuhan melodi yang memukau dalam filem-filem ikonik mereka. Dikenali sebagai Raja Melodi, 21 lagunya termasuk dalam senarai “40 Lagu Terbaik Bollywood Sepanjang Zaman” oleh BBC, satu pengiktirafan yang menegaskan lagi sumbangannya dalam dunia muzik.
