The ZEISS Batis 85mm f/1.8 is a premium short telephoto lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, making it ideal for portraiture, selective focus work, and low-light photography. This lens features a fast f/1.8 aperture, providing greater control over depth of field and allowing photographers to achieve beautifully blurred backgrounds and sharper focus on subjects. With its large aperture, the lens excels in low-light conditions, making it perfect for indoor, evening, and nighttime photography.

The lens utilizes a Sonnar optical design, incorporating three anomalous partial dispersion elements that minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing. This design ensures high contrast, exceptional sharpness, and precise color accuracy. A floating elements system is also employed, guaranteeing consistent performance and sharpness throughout the entire focus range, from 2.6 feet to infinity. ZEISS’s T* anti-reflective coating reduces reflections and lens flare, providing better contrast and color fidelity, even in challenging lighting situations.

The Batis 85mm f/1.8 features an integrated OLED display, which shows real-time focus distance and depth of field range, enabling quick recognition of focusing parameters, even in low-light conditions. The lens also offers fast, quiet, and smooth autofocus performance, thanks to the linear motor system. For manual focus control, a rubberized focus ring offers excellent tactile feedback.

The lens is equipped with optical image stabilization, which helps reduce the effects of camera shake, especially when shooting handheld at slower shutter speeds. Additionally, the lens is dust- and weather-sealed, making it suitable for use in tough conditions. Whether shooting portraits, events, or in low light, the Batis 85mm f/1.8 delivers outstanding performance and versatility.
