The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Lens offers a wide f/1.8 maximum aperture, delivering exceptional defocusing effects that make your subject stand out against beautifully blurred backgrounds. With its 9-blade circular aperture, this lens creates smooth, round bokeh, enhancing the aesthetic quality of portraits and other photography where background softness is desired. For superior image quality, the lens incorporates an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element, which reduces chromatic aberrations and ensures sharpness across the entire frame, from center to corner.
When it comes to focusing, the Double Linear Motor system ensures fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance. This is ideal for both still photography and video, where silent operation is crucial for seamless footage. The lens also includes direct control features like a customizable focus hold button and an AF/MF switch, providing greater flexibility to photographers who need quick, intuitive adjustments. The maximum magnification ratio of 0.13x allows for reasonably close-up shots, while the 29-degree angle of view (on full-frame cameras) provides a pleasing, natural perspective.
Whether you’re shooting portraiture, events, or creative compositions, the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 lens consistently delivers high-quality results with impressive sharpness, smooth bokeh, and reliable performance. With its compact design, it becomes a highly portable, versatile addition to any photographer’s gear. As the 35mm equivalent focal length on an APS-C camera is 127.5mm, it also works exceptionally well for tighter shots and achieving a flattering perspective for portraits.
