The Sony 85mm f/1.5 GM was one of the first G-Master lenses ever released by Sony, and it was definitely starting to show its age. Now, we have a version II, and everything has been upgraded except the size and weight! To find out if this new lens was worth the premium price, Chris Niccolls took it to the Calgary Folk Music Festival to see how it performs.
