85MM F/1.8 AF
Full-Frame | Leica L-Mount
Full-Frame | f/1.8 to f/22: This lens is designed for full-frame cameras and offers a wide aperture range from f/1.8 (a large aperture for shallow depth of field and low light) to f/22 (a small aperture for a greater depth of field, useful for landscapes or macro shots).
Fast Aperture Portrait-Length Prime: This lens has a "fast" aperture (f/1.8), which allows for excellent subject isolation and performance in low-light conditions. "Portrait-length" refers to its focal length, which is typically ideal for portrait photography, offering a natural perspective and flattering subject proportions.
Autofocus Design: The lens is equipped with autofocus capabilities, enabling quick and accurate focusing without manual intervention. This is ideal for both stills and video work where speed and precision are important.
STM Stepping Motor: The STM (Stepping Motor) provides smooth and quiet autofocus, making this lens a good choice for video recording, where noisy autofocus systems could disrupt the audio. It also helps improve autofocus performance for still images.
Multi-Layer Coatings: The lens features multiple layers of coatings on the glass elements, which help reduce lens flare and ghosting, leading to sharper, clearer images with more contrast and color accuracy.
Electronic Contacts Maintain Exif Data: The electronic contacts on the lens communicate with the camera body to transmit metadata such as aperture settings, focal length, and other EXIF data. This makes it easier to manage and organize your photos, and allows for accurate metadata in editing programs.
Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: The lens has a rounded 9-blade diaphragm, which helps produce a pleasing, smooth out-of-focus (bokeh) background. This feature is often sought after in portrait and macro photography, where the aesthetic of the blurred background is important.
USB Port for Firmware Upgrades: The lens comes with a USB port, allowing users to connect it to a computer to update the firmware. Firmware updates can improve autofocus performance, compatibility with camera bodies, and sometimes even fix bugs, ensuring your lens remains up-to-date with the latest technology.
