Description
Description
Your portrait companion—creamy bokeh, honest detail.
If your photography leans toward people—from headshots to candid moments—this S-Line 85mm brings out character with beautiful separation and lifelike rendering. Wide open, backgrounds melt away; stop down, and you’ll see crisp detail from eye lashes to fabric texture. It’s fast, quiet, and confidence-inspiring whether you’re shooting stills or rolling video.
What you’ll notice in use
-
Flattering perspective: Classic 85mm look that flatters faces and compresses backgrounds without feeling distant.
-
Low-light confidence: Bright f/1.8 aperture keeps ISO in check and delivers smooth, rounded bokeh.
-
S-Line sharpness: Advanced optics with ED glass and Nano Crystal Coat for high contrast and control of flare and color fringing.
-
Quiet, precise AF: A multi-focusing system driven by stepping motors for quick, silent focus—great for events and clean audio in video.
-
Video-friendly design: Focus breathing is well controlled to keep framing consistent through focus pulls.
-
Real-world ready: Weather-sealed construction and a customizable control ring for aperture, ISO, exposure comp, or manual focus.
Who it’s for
Portrait shooters, wedding and event photographers, lifestyle storytellers, and Z-series filmmakers who want graceful background blur, true-to-life skin tones, and modern sharpness in a dependable, lightweight prime.
