Compact. Sharp. Expressive. Built for Portrait Excellence.

Part of the acclaimed Prima Series, the AF 85mm F1.8 P FE is a fast-aperture, full-frame telephoto prime designed for Sony FE-mount creators who demand superior portrait performance in a remarkably compact form.
Weighing just 272 g and measuring 71.5 mm in length, it offers outstanding portability without compromising optical quality, sharpness, or artistic rendering.

This is a lens built for photographers who want lightweight freedom paired with premium image performance—perfect for portraits, weddings, lifestyle, street, and everyday shooting.

Compact & Lightweight Performance

Despite its fast F1.8 aperture and telephoto reach, the lens is exceptionally portable at only 272 g (9.59 oz). Its compact footprint makes it ideal for on-the-go shooting, travel portraiture, and creators who need a capable telephoto without the bulk.

Superior Sharpness at Portrait Distance

Engineered to deliver peak performance at typical portrait ranges, the AF 85mm F1.8 P FE produces crisp, high-resolution detail, capturing facial features and fine textures with confidence and precision. Your subjects appear naturally defined, beautifully lit, and full of character.

Creamy, Refined Bokeh

With a fast F1.8 aperture and a 9-blade diaphragm, the lens produces smooth, creamy background blur that gently isolates your subject. Expect rounded bokeh, pleasing transitions, and a professional look that elevates every portrait.

Clear & Delicate Rendering

Designed for nuanced optical expression, this 85mm captures subtle tonal shifts, fine textures, and gentle colour transitions for images rich in depth and softness. Skin tones appear natural, while overall rendering maintains clarity without harshness.

Premium Build with Newly Developed High-Strength Material

Constructed using a newly engineered, high-strength material developed in-house, the lens offers enhanced durability despite its lightweight design. The result is a premium feel and long-lasting reliability, ideal for daily use.

The lens also features internal testing equivalent to IP5-level dust resistance, offering added confidence in challenging environments.*
*Not guaranteed to resist dust in all conditions.

Advanced Optical & Mechanical Design

Inside, the lens is structured with 9 elements in 8 groups, engineered for clarity, contrast, and minimal aberration. Its full-frame angle of view of 28.6° (or 19.3° on APS-C bodies) delivers the ideal field for portraits with natural perspective and separation.

A 62 mm front filter thread offers simple compatibility with ND filters, UV filters, and creative accessories.

Improved Hood Design for Better Light Control

A newly developed lens hood effectively blocks unwanted stray light, reducing flare and ghosting especially in strong backlight, ensuring clean, contrast-rich images in all shooting conditions.

Intuitive Focus Control

The lens includes:

• AF/MF mode switch for fast and intuitive focusing control

• A smooth, tactile focus ring for precise manual focus adjustments

These allow creators to adapt quickly to changing scenes, whether capturing spontaneous moments or crafting deliberate compositions.
