Product Highlights

  • High corner-to-corner resolution : This compact, easy-to-handle lens offers fine prime lens performance with high corner-to-corner resolution. A precision optical design includes one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to effectively minimise chromatic aberration, while spherical aberration is tightly controlled for high overall sharpness with smooth bokeh when required.
  • Beautiful bokeh enhances portraits : Spherical aberration is carefully optimised to achieve the best possible balance between resolution and smooth, natural bokeh that can provide a perfect backdrop for a wide range of subjects, while a 9-blade circular aperture contributes to beautiful bokeh highlights. 85mm is often a photographer’s first choice for people and portraits.
  • Mobile and manageable for active shooting : A compact, lightweight design that is ideally matched to the α7 series offers a great blend of portability and high image quality for portraits, events, and more. Even though the SEL85F18 features and advanced optical design add up to impressive overall performance, its 371-gram (13.1 oz.) weight makes it a great choice for active, on-the-go shooting.
  • Quiet, precise focus drive : A double linear motor actuator system directly drives the lens’s focus mechanism without noisy intervening gears, for precision positioning and quiet operation that are great for movies as well as stills.
  • Quality build, versatile features : A customisable focus hold button can be assigned to other functions such as Eye AF, for example, while a wide, responsive focus ring offers improved manual focus comfort and precision. A dust and moisture resistant design plus other refinements add up to outstanding quality and photographic versatility.

Yes. The FE 85mm F1.8 is a mid-telephoto prime lens designed with portrait photography in mind. Its 85mm focal length is well suited to photographing people, while its high-resolution rendering and smooth background separation help produce natural-looking portraits.

The lens is designed to deliver high resolution across the image area. Its optical construction includes an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to help reduce chromatic aberration, while careful control of spherical aberration supports detailed images with smooth bokeh.

Yes. Sony has optimized the lens's spherical aberration to balance image resolution with pleasing bokeh. The nine-blade circular aperture also helps produce smooth, rounded highlights in out-of-focus areas, making it well suited to portrait backgrounds.

Yes. Although it is a full-frame E-mount FE lens, it can also be mounted on Sony APS-C E-mount cameras. The smaller sensor produces a narrower field of view, which can be useful for tighter portrait compositions. Sony's compatibility tool can be used to confirm lens and camera compatibility.

The SEL85F18 weighs approximately 371 grams (13.1 ounces). Its relatively compact and lightweight construction makes it a convenient pairing with Sony Alpha 7 series cameras for portable photography.

Yes. The lens uses a double linear motor actuator system to drive its focusing mechanism directly, without relying on noisy gears. This provides precise and quiet autofocus operation that is useful for both still photography and movie recording.

Yes. The lens features a sealed construction designed to provide additional resistance to dust and moisture. This can offer greater reliability in conditions such as light rain or windy environments, although the lens is not guaranteed to be completely dust- or moisture-proof.

The lens has a customizable focus hold button that can be assigned to supported functions, including Eye AF. It also features a broad, responsive focus ring that provides comfortable and precise control when manually adjusting focus.
