The f/1.8 aperture on this lens allows you to achieve soft background blur and beautiful bokeh. Whether you specialise in portraits, fashion, still life, studio, wedding or event photography, your images will become even better. The large aperture also ensures more light reaches the camera’s sensor, making shooting in difficult lighting conditions much easier. So take the Yongnuo YN 85mm f/1.8 S DF DSM with you on a night walk or after-dark shoot and be sure to get the results you want!
The optical construction of the lens consists of 9 elements arranged in 8 groups. The components used provide ultra-low dispersion. In addition, the lenses are covered with special nano-coatings that minimise the risk of flare and ghosting. This technology also improves light transmission, making your movies and photos look even better!
The lens housing is made from lightweight components, resulting in a low weight of 346g. The compact size is sure to appeal to users of handy cameras from Sony. It is an ideal choice for weekend walks and holiday trips, where after a few hours of walking you feel every extra kilogram of luggage. The low weight is also a big advantage for those using gimbals with limited equipment capacity!
The use of a robust metal bayonet and gold-plated contacts ensures reliable communication between the lens and camera is maintained. The use of electronic components makes your work much more convenient, whether you are filming or taking pictures. Communication with the camera will allow you to take advantage of functions such as autofocus, aperture control or EXIF data transfer.
The lens is equipped with a special button to which you can assign a function from the camera menu. You will love it from the first use! The ergonomic shape of the button makes your finger wander towards the small indentation and you gain an additional parameter which you can control without going into the camera settings. The “Fn” key improves productivity and reduces the time it takes to find your favourite option.
The Yongnuo YN 85mm f/1.8 S DF DSM for Sony E lens features a precise, fast and quiet DSM stepper motor. It makes focusing very accurate and smooth. On the housing, you will find an ergonomic AF/MF switch. It will allow you to quickly switch from manual to automatic mode. The high-precision autofocus is ideal for both stills and movies. And for those times when you don’t have time to focus on your own, you can rely on the high-tech electronics that work with Sony E-mount cameras.
The aperture of the Yongnuo YN 85mm f/1.8 S DF DSM for Sony E mount consists of 7 rounded blades. This is how you achieve exceptional results when photographing coloured light sources. When the aperture is closed you can create magical 14-point stars in your photos, without having to apply additional filters in post-production. They will appear in place of points of light such as the sun or street lamps. With this lens you will love the hashtag #nofilter! Your social media followers won’t be able to get over how you managed to achieve such effects, without using editing programs.
The lens is equipped with a USB-C interface, so you can conveniently and quickly update its software. The new firmware means even more efficient autofocus performance, as well as compatibility with new camera models. All update files can be downloaded for free at the manufacturer’s website
