Product details

Thanks to the light intensity of 1:1.8, very shallow depths of field can be used creatively. The optical image stabilization enables successful hand-held shots even under difficult lighting conditions. With a focal length of 85mm, the lens is the perfect companion for portrait, event, and wedding photography.

Zeiss Batis autofocus lenses are designed specifically for Sony full-frame mirrorless system cameras. The lenses are fully compatible with all E-Mount cameras and offer fast and quiet autofocus, as well as dust and splash protection. For creative work, the innovative OLED display shows distance and depth of field. The Zeiss Batis family offers perfect imaging performance thanks to its completely newly developed optical design.

The design of the autofocus system requires an extremely precise displacement of certain lens groups. The focusing system of the Zeiss lenses is designed to guarantee a robust and fluid autofocus mechanism with optimal imaging performance.

The high-performance lens for Sony's mirrorless full-frame system meets the highest demands. Even with a compact design, the image result meets the expectations of professional photographers. Optical image stabilization provides clear, unshaken images in difficult lighting situations. In combination with a camera-internal OIS, the advantages of both systems are combined. This feature ensures perfect images without digital noise, as ISO values do not need to be increased to compensate for poor lighting conditions.

The lens is perfectly suited for demanding outdoor use thanks to constructive measures against the penetration of dust and splash water, making it ready for years of intensive use. For the first time, you can easily and intuitively read the focus distance and depth of field on the OLED display of a lens, ensuring readability even in difficult lighting conditions.
