Key Features

Ideal Focal Length for Portraits

• 85mm Focal Length: The 85mm focal length is perfect for portraits, providing a natural-looking perspective that flatters facial features and helps to create separation between the subject and the background.
• Bright f/2 Aperture: The wide f/2 aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and creates beautiful, creamy bokeh, making it ideal for portraits and artistic shots with a shallow depth of field.

Macro Capabilities

• 1:2 Macro Magnification: The lens offers a 1:2 magnification ratio, allowing you to capture detailed close-up shots of small subjects, such as flowers, insects, and more. This versatility makes it a great choice for photographers who want both a portrait and macro lens in one.
• Minimum Focus Distance of 0.35m: The close focusing distance lets you get up close to your subject, making it easier to capture intricate details.

Optical Image Stabilization

• 5-Stop Optical Image Stabilization (IS): The built-in image stabilization system compensates for camera shake, providing up to 5 stops of correction. This feature is especially useful in low-light conditions and when shooting at slower shutter speeds, ensuring sharper images.

Smooth and Quiet Autofocus

• Stepping Motor (STM): The lens is equipped with a stepping motor for smooth, fast, and near-silent autofocus. This makes it ideal for both photography and video, as it ensures quiet operation that won't be picked up by the camera's microphone.
• Full-Time Manual Focus: Allows for manual focus adjustments at any time, even when autofocus is engaged, providing greater control over your focus.

High-Quality Optics

• Advanced Optical Design: The lens features 12 elements in 11 groups, including an aspherical element that helps to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions, delivering sharp, high-contrast images.
• Super Spectra Coating: Reduces ghosting and flare, ensuring high contrast and color fidelity, even in challenging lighting conditions.
