⚡ Key Benefits

• Classic 85mm perspective for flattering portraits

• Bright f/1.4 aperture for low-light photography

• Smooth bokeh and strong subject separation

• Fast, quiet Dual HyperVCM autofocus

• Excellent face- and eye-detection performance

Beautiful Portrait Rendering

The 85mm focal length provides natural facial proportions and flattering perspective while creating comfortable working distance between photographer and subject.

Combined with the wide f/1.4 aperture, the lens produces pronounced subject separation and softly rendered backgrounds—ideal for portraits where expression and detail need to stand out.

Professional Optical Performance

The sophisticated 15-element, 11-group optical design includes:

• Three ED elements

• Nine high-refractive-index elements

• One ultra-precision aspherical element

• HD nano multi-layer coatings

This design controls chromatic aberration, flare, ghosting, and distortion while maintaining excellent sharpness across the frame.

Fast f/1.4 Aperture

The maximum f/1.4 aperture gathers substantially more light than smaller portrait lenses, helping photographers work with faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings in dim environments.

An 11-blade diaphragm creates smooth, rounded bokeh for polished portraits and cinematic video.

Dual HyperVCM Autofocus

Viltrox’s Dual HyperVCM focusing system delivers fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus. It works with compatible Sony face- and eye-detection systems for dependable subject tracking during portraits, weddings, events, and video production.

Internal focusing keeps the lens physically balanced because its overall length does not change during focusing.

Professional Handling

The lens includes controls designed for demanding photography and video workflows:

• AF/MF switch

• Manual focusing ring

• Aperture control ring

• Click/de-click aperture switch

• Customizable function buttons

• USB-C connectivity for firmware updates and supported customization

De-clicking the aperture ring allows smooth, quiet exposure adjustments while recording video.

Built for Regular Professional Use

The all-metal barrel provides a solid, confidence-inspiring feel, while dust- and splash-resistant construction helps protect the lens during outdoor assignments. Water- and smudge-resistant exterior coatings simplify maintenance in changing conditions.

Ideal For

• Portrait photographers

• Wedding and event photographers

• Fashion and editorial work

• Low-light photography

• Professional headshots

• Concert and stage photography

• Filmmakers and hybrid creators
