The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 lens is a premium portrait-length prime lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. With its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, it excels in low-light environments and provides excellent control over depth of field for creative selective focus shots. Ideal for portraiture, it delivers sharp details with a beautifully blurred background, making it a perfect choice for capturing stunning subject isolation and bokeh effects.
The optical construction features nine elements in eight groups, including one extra-low dispersion (ED) element. This helps to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring clear, accurate images with true-to-life color reproduction. The lens offers impressive clarity and sharpness across the frame, even when shooting wide open at f/1.8.
For autofocus, the FE 85mm f/1.8 uses a double linear motor, providing fast, quiet, and smooth focusing that works well for both still photography and video. The lens is equipped with a customizable focus hold button, which can be used to lock focus or assigned to other lens functions via the camera. Additionally, the physical AF/MF switch offers tactile control for switching between autofocus and manual focus modes, giving photographers complete flexibility.
Constructed with a dust- and moisture-resistant design, this lens is built to withstand the elements, ensuring durability for outdoor shoots. Its rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing, soft bokeh, perfect for portraiture or any work where background blur is important. Whether you’re capturing portraits or other creative shots, this lens is an excellent tool for those who demand high performance.
