Natural facial proportions

An 85mm focal length provides a comfortable working distance and isolates a person without unnatural facial distortion. The F1.8 aperture helps in low light and with shallow depth of field.

Smooth focus for stills and video

Internal focusing with a quiet STM motor keeps the lens length constant and supports accurate subject tracking. Electronic communication transfers EXIF and supports automatic aperture and Eye AF.

Optics designed for clean portraits

Ten elements in seven groups include ED and high-transmission elements. Nano coatings reduce flare and colour fringing to keep contours and skin tones clean.
