Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Lens (Sony E Mount)

Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Lens (Sony E Mount)

The Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8 for Sony E mount blends perfectly its advanced optical design and modern performance and is one of the most desirable short telephoto portrait primes designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless and cinema cameras.

The Zeiss Batis range of prime lenses are distinguished by their innovative use of an OLED display on the lens barrel, which highlights the focus distance and depth of field range for quickly recognizing your focusing parameters.

As an autofocus lens, linear motors are used to deliver quick, quiet, and smooth focusing performance to suit both stills and video applications. Additionally, this lens incorporates optical image stabilization to minimize the appearance of camera shake when working with slower shutter speeds and a dust- and weather-sealed construction lends itself to shooting in trying environments.

Premiere Portrait Prime Lens for Full-Frame and Super 35

This short telephoto/portrait prime may have been designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however you can also use it with APS-C and Super 35 cameras such as the Sony FS7 or FS5 where it provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.

The bright and super-fast f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques. Sonnar optical concept suits the combination of a large maximum aperture and long focal length, and also contributes to notable sharpness, well-controlled flare, and high contrast.

The advanced optical design utilizes eight anomalous partial dispersion elements to virtually eliminate colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and colour fidelity. Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and colour fidelity.

Optical Image Stabilisaion

Optical image stabilisation helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. While the floating elements system helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the entire focusing range, from 2.9 feet to infinity.

Integrated OLED display on the top of the lens shows the working focus distance as well as the depth of field range for quickly recognizing the parameters of focus in use, even when working in low-light conditions. Linear motors benefit the autofocus performance of the lens and provide smooth, fast, and quiet operation.

For manual focusing, a rubberized ring offers greater tactile control for precise placement of focus. And last, but not least, the dust and weather-sealed construction benefits using this prime lens in inclement shooting conditions.
