## Description

There's nothing like the sharpness and smooth bokeh of a well-designed telephoto medium fixed focal length lens for portraits, and the SEL-85F18 is a premium choice. It offers a compact design that guarantees mobility, powerful optics and a large maximum aperture of F1.8 for exceptional image quality. Viewing angle (35 mm) 29°. Aperture blades 9 The lens fogs up in hot or cold environments The lens may fog up if the camera is moved from one temperature extreme to the other. In most cases, this occurs when you go from a very cold environment to a very warm one, but it can also happen when you switch from a very warm environment to a very cold one. To correct fogging, remove the battery and storage media in a low humidity environment. Leave all media, battery, and port covers open to allow moisture trapped inside to evaporate. Let the camera stand for about an hour, or until it reaches the same temperature as the environment. IMPORTANT- Do not open media, battery, and port covers in high humidity or near water to prevent lens fogging. With interchangeable lenses, moisture can accumulate inside the lens and camera if the air is dry on the inside and humid on the outside. Do not change the object in high humidity environments.

Review: Compact, budget, portrait perfection. - This is the perfect budget 85mm portrait lens for sony E-Mount, both for APS-C & Full Frame. There are some quirks, but this has great character. Positives: Weight: Very Light & compact Clarity: Clean image, even on higher resolution sensors Noise: There is only the slightest autofocus noise Focus: Although this is using an older motor design, for most photos - this meets my needs. Things to keep in mind: There aren't really any negatives at this price point. As this lens is also regularly on offer, you can't really go wrong. With that said, it's the perfect portrait carry for lovers of this focal length. The image is clear and the background separation is brilliant, you likely won't be using it for sport content and to be honest, I haven't even attempted it for this use. For 95% of people, this is the perfect starter portrait lens - I would even say, unless you specifically need the top tier, most wedding photographers would be more than happy use this in a professional context. This is a full frame lens, so for those using this on the APS-C cameras, you're getting closer to the 127mm F2.8 look. If you need something actually close to this focal range, you will want to pickup either the Sigma 56mm F1.4 or the Sony Zeiss 55mm F1.8. Its compact nature means it's always at least a second lens on my carry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A strong performing, competitive lens
*by T***X on 30 March 2020*

This lens is an excellent performer and represents a good compromise compared to the premium f1.4 GM lens and third party alternatives. The key strengths of this lens for me are - the autofocus is quick and accurate, meeting my needs for portraits - both human and feline. - it features a customisable button and autofocus switch on the lens for convenient control/usability. - build quality is very good - it feels good in the hand without being heavy. - the image quality is excellent and sharp. The aperture of f1.8 is more than usable as I frequently stop the lens down to ensure both eyes and the face is in focus and I like to include some of the background for context. On an A7iii the lowlight performance means that f1.8 is usable in lowlight situations and experience has backed it up. On a higher resolution body such as the A7RIII or A7RIV, noise may be an issue but that is subjective. I came to this after using my venerable Canon EF85mm f1.8 via an MC-11 adapter by Sigma. The Sony 85mm f1.8 is a definite upgrade in every way from build quality to image quality. It’s moderate size and weight means it is always in my camera bag and I have used it in street, landscape, casual and portrait settings without issue. There are cheaper options available but you compromise on build quality and features (control switches and custom button) and there are premium alternatives which offer potentially higher performance. The 85mm f1.8 represents a balanced alternative, priced very competitively with strong performance.
