Product details

The AF 85 mm F/1.8 Mark II prime lens is lightweight, allowing you to act flexibly and dynamically at any time. It features a great aperture of F/1.8 and offers a particularly soft background bokeh. This classic portrait lens includes a quiet and smooth STM autofocus that reliably and precisely tracks your subjects. Thanks to its exceptionally quiet operation, you can also capture animals or other nature photos that require special sensitivity. Additionally, the autofocus tracks human eyes, ensuring your next portrait shot is a success. The minimum focusing distance of 0.8 meters allows you to take beautiful close-up photos. A nano-coating on the lens glass effectively prevents ghosting and provides additional water resistance.

The telephoto lens has a significantly greater focal length than a standard lens. This reduces the field of view, making photographed objects appear closer and larger than they actually are from your camera's position. This type of lens is particularly well-suited for capturing distant objects in detail. Furthermore, subjects photographed with a telephoto lens can be very well isolated due to the shallow depth of field—highlight your desired subject by letting the background fade into blur.

  • PositiveThe lens delivers very good performance - even considering its price. It provides an affordable entry into upscale portrait photography.
  • NegativeThe sharpness performance in the open aperture range is a little too low, so that a rather soft image impression is created.

The resolution of the Viltrox FE-85 mm f/1.8 Mark II could be a little higher in the lower aperture range, but its other results are very good. The behaviour of the fast autofocus drive and the otherwise very simple operation also make it a value-for-money recommendation.
