Proven Optical System

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!

Portable and Ultra-Lightweight

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!

Metal Bayonet and Gold-Plated Contacts

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.

Additional Function Button

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, giving you 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.

Convenient Focus

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.
