Product Features

- Large aperture mid-telephoto single focal length lens that pursues the beauty of bokeh
This large-aperture medium telephoto single focal length lens with a focal length of 85mm maximizes the advantages of the Z mount to achieve an attractive bokeh effect. High image formation performance is achieved through the use of a multi-focus system. The sharp focus plane can be obtained from the maximum aperture, and the presence of the subject is accentuated by the contrast of the beautiful bokeh effect. The lens's descriptive power, which has revolutionized the image of conventional mid-telephoto single focal length lenses with a maximum aperture of 1.8, further enriches the expression of still and moving images.

- Natural bokeh that creates a three-dimensional effect that accentuates the subject
The natural bokeh effect is achieved by carefully controlling the coloration of the out-of-focus area without compromising the rendering of the out-of-focus area. The beautiful bokeh, which changes gently as it moves away from the focus plane, makes sharply rendered subjects stand out even more. The thorough attention paid to the depth of the bokeh effect creates a three-dimensional effect in the image.

- Beautiful ball bokeh from the widest aperture
By securing as much peripheral light as possible, even with a wide-open aperture, beautiful bokeh can be obtained with little aperture eclipse, even on the periphery of the image. In addition, each individual ball bokeh image, such as colorful illumination, is rendered beautifully and vividly, making works that take advantage of the ball bokeh effect even more impressive. The shape of the ball bokeh will approach a circular shape when the aperture is stopped down slightly from the maximum aperture.

- Sharp and delicate resolution of the focus plane, which is effective from the maximum aperture
The multi-focusing AF drive system significantly suppresses aberrations at all shooting distances, from close-up to infinity, and achieves excellent image formation performance. The image is clearly resolved from the maximum aperture to the periphery of the image, allowing even fine lines such as eyelashes and hair to be delicately rendered as they are. The shallow depth of field and beautiful bokeh of a mid-telephoto lens further accentuate the resolution of the sharp focus plane.

- Multi-focus system dramatically improves aberration and achieves high image formation performance
The positions of multiple focus lens groups are precisely controlled with high precision through the coordination of multiple AF drive units. This system provides high image formation performance regardless of the shooting distance, from close-up to long distance. Even with subjects at close range, which are generally considered to be prone to aberration, the use of two ED lenses thoroughly suppresses chromatic aberration on axis, resulting in high image formation performance.

- Abundant peripheral light from the periphery of the aperture
By capturing abundant light with a large aperture lens, the sudden drop in light intensity is suppressed even at the periphery of the image. Sufficient peripheral light is available even with a wide-aperture aperture. This means that even with a bright blue sky in the background, there is no sudden drop in light intensity at the periphery of the image, allowing the photographer to capture natural-looking images.

- Low axial chromatic aberration
Two ED lenses are used to effectively correct color blurring that tends to occur in high-contrast areas such as the edges of the subject in scenes with brightness differences.

- Excellent backlight resistance
The use of Nano Crystal Coating and careful optical design effectively suppresses ghosting and flare. Even in situations where the sun or other strong light sources are within the angle of view, clear images with high resolution and natural bokeh can be obtained. Compared to other multilayer coatings, Nano Crystal Coating suppresses reflectance even further, while also providing anti-reflective properties over a wider range of wavelengths and angles.

- High point image reproducibility
Sagittal coma flare is effectively suppressed from the maximum aperture, and point light sources are faithfully reproduced as dots even at the periphery of the image. This high point-blank reproducibility also contributes to improved resolution and bokeh effect.

- Control ring to which a variety of functions can be assigned
The camera is equipped with a control ring to which either [M/A]* [aperture value] or [exposure compensation] can be assigned from the camera. The control ring provides new operability for still and movie shooting, replacing the main command dial and sub-command dial.
(*The function immediately switches to MF by operating the control ring when the camera is in AF mode.)

- Aperture control for natural-looking brightness changes
Smooth and flicker-free aperture control allows for natural-looking brightness changes in images.

- Dustproof and drip-proof design
The lens barrel is designed to be dustproof and drip-proof*, with seals applied throughout the lens barrel and other moving parts to prevent dust and water droplets from entering.
(*Dustproof and drip-proof design does not guarantee complete dustproof and drip-proof performance under all conditions.)

- Electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism
The lens body is equipped with an aperture-blade unit with a drive mechanism that enables high-precision aperture control via electrical signals from the body, ensuring stable exposure control (AE) at all times, including during continuous shooting.
