85 mm – natural portraits and beautiful proportions

The 85 mm focal length has been considered one of the golden standards for portraits for years – and for good reason. It provides natural reproduction of facial features, subtle perspective compression and convenient framing from a greater distance. The AstrHori AF 85 mm f/1.8 II Full-frame lens is ideal for studio sessions as well as lifestyle, wedding, fashion and product photography. It is a lens that provides natural rendering of subjects and a clear, aesthetic separation from the background.

f/1.8 brightness – soft bokeh and greater freedom of work

The f/1.8 aperture allows for a shallow depth of field and aesthetic background blur. It is a great choice for portraits, details and photos where separating the subject from the surroundings is important. The AstrHori AF 85 mm f/1.8 II Full-frame lens maintains excellent sharpness even at maximum aperture, making it easy to work in low light and at night. It is the perfect tool for photographers working in natural light and for creators who want to build the mood of a frame using bokeh.

Quiet and precise autofocus

The STM motor used in the AstrHori AF 85 mm f/1.8 II lens ensures fast, smooth and almost silent focusing. This is important both when shooting dynamic scenes and when filming, where any motor noise would be audible in the recording. The lens responds quickly to changes in focus and accurately follows the movement of the subject.

Eye focus and face tracking

The AstrHori AF 85 mm f/1.8 II Full-frame  offers full support for eye and face recognition systems. The lens works with the camera’s algorithms to keep the focus exactly where it should be. This is a huge help for those who photograph people – whether in posed sessions, reportage, events or dynamic lifestyle shots.

MC coatings – less glare, more contrast

The optical design consisting of 9 elements in 8 groups has been supplemented with special multi-layer anti-reflective coatings. They reduce reflections, flares and contrast drops when shooting against the light. As a result, the AstrHori AF 85mm f/1.8 II Full-frame  lens better preserves details in difficult conditions, and photos gain clarity and depth.

Communication with the camera and EXIF support

The AstrHori AF 85 mm f/1.8 II Full-frame lens  is equipped with electronic gold-plated contacts that ensure full compatibility with the camera body. This allows the body to correctly read exposure parameters, aperture values, focal length and AF mode. EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) information is sent directly to the file, which greatly facilitates the organisation of photos, subsequent analysis and work in post-production programmes. This is an important feature for photographers who want to maintain full control over the creative process and their workflow.

Software updates

The AstrHori AF 85 mm f/1.8 II Full-frame lens  is equipped with a microUSB port that allows you to update the software yourself. This allows the device to receive autofocus fixes, compatibility extensions with newer Sony bodies, and updates to improve stability. The process itself is quick and easy – there is no need to send the lens to a service centre. All you need is access to a computer and a cable.

Solid metal construction

The AstrHori AF 85 mm f/1.8 II Full-frame  is built for intensive use. The body is made of metal, as is the bayonet, ensuring high durability and stable attachment to the camera. This equipment performs well in everyday studio and field work, offering the quality characteristic of professional designs.
