Perfect sharpness and bokeh for portraits. There's nothing like the sharpness and even bokeh of a well-designed medium focal length telephoto lens for portraits, and the SEL85F18 is a first-class choice. It offers a compact design that guarantees mobility, powerful optics and a large maximum aperture of f/1.8 for exceptional image quality. The compact, lightweight design fits perfectly and offers a great combination of portability and high image quality for portraits, events and much more. The dual linear motor drives the lens' focus mechanism without gear shifting to provide precise, smooth operation, which is essential for both film and stills.High-quality integrated and versatile functions A customisable focus hold button, a wide and responsive focus ring, a dust and splash resistant design and other improvements contribute to exceptional quality and versatility.
