This compact and user-friendly lens offers the performance of a prime lens with high resolution across the entire image range. The precision optical design includes an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to effectively minimize chromatic aberration, while spherical aberration is precisely controlled for high overall sharpness with smooth background defocus (bokeh) when needed.
High resolution across the entire image range
This compact and user-friendly lens offers the performance of a prime lens with high resolution across the entire image range. The precision optical design includes an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to effectively minimize chromatic aberration, while spherical aberration is precisely controlled for high overall sharpness with smooth background defocus (bokeh) when needed.
Beautiful background defocus (bokeh) that highlights portraits
Spherical aberration has been precisely optimized to achieve the best possible balance between resolution and smooth, natural background defocus (bokeh), providing the perfect background for many different subjects, while the 9-blade circular aperture helps capture beautiful points of background defocus (bokeh). The 85 mm format is often the first choice of photographers for people and portraits.
Easy to transport and handle for active shooting
The compact and lightweight design that fits perfectly with the α7 series offers an excellent combination of portability and high image quality for portraits, events, and more. Although the features and advanced design of the SEL85F18 series enhance its impressive overall performance, the lightweight of 371 grams (13.1 oz.) makes it ideal for active on-the-go shooting.
Silent precision focusing mechanism
The dual linear actuator system directly controls the lens focusing mechanism without the intervention of noisy gears, for precise placement and silent operation suitable for both films and photos.
Build quality and feature versatility
On the customizable focus hold button, you can assign other functions, such as eye autofocus, while the large focus ring with high responsiveness offers improved manual focus and precision. The dust and moisture-resistant design, along with other enhancements, boosts the exceptionally high quality and photographic versatility.
Reliability in Tough Conditions
The meticulous design for dust and moisture resistance offers greater protection and ensures reliable operation in challenging conditions. Shoot with confidence in light rain or wind.
