    RF mount version available

    The lens features high-quality workmanship, and the all-metal construction ensures safety and durability. A large aperture and a 9-blade aperture allow you to achieve beautiful background blur (so-called bokeh), which is highly valued and sought after in portrait photography.

    Advanced optical design

    The optical construction consists of 10 elements arranged in 7 groups. The construction uses one ED element with a very low level of dispersion and 4 SR (Short-Wavelength Refractive) lenses responsible for the refraction of short wavelength beams. They are to serve even better reduction of chromatic aberration. The minimum focus distance is 80cm.

    Object tracking and eye detection (EYE AF) support

    The Viltrox AF 85 mm f1.8 lens uses a quiet and fast STM SilentMotor. The AF speed will work well in photography, and the silent drive in video, especially when filming or photographing in discreet / demanding places / situations.

    Modern design

    Weighing only 530g. The lens is equipped with a multi-layer waterproof Nano HD coating

    Main features:

    • Dedicated to Canon RF (Full Frame) cameras
    • Modern design
    • Vivid colors
    • Great Bokeh effect
    • One element with reduced dispersion
    • One aspherical element
    • Quiet and efficient STM motor
