Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Lens (SEL85F18)

A Compact Portrait Lens
The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 is a full-frame prime lens made for Sony E-mount cameras. It is designed for portraits, events, and everyday photography, with an 85mm focal length that gives flattering perspective and a bright f/1.8 aperture for strong subject separation.

Built for Sharp Results
This lens uses ED glass and a careful optical design to help control chromatic aberration and keep images sharp. Sony also gives it a 9-blade circular diaphragm, which helps produce smooth, attractive background blur.

Lightweight and Easy to Carry
At about 371 g, it is much lighter than Sony’s f/1.4 portrait lenses, so it is easier to carry for long shoots. The compact body, dust- and moisture-resistant design, and fast autofocus make it a practical choice for both stills and video.
