Zeiss Batis 1,8/85 used #9163824

The telephoto lens for a new era

Thanks to the lens speed of 1:1.8, very shallow depths of field can be used creatively. The optical image stabilization enables successful freehand shots even in difficult lighting conditions. With a focal length of 85mm, the lens is the perfect companion for portrait, event and wedding photography.

The ZEISS Batis autofocus lenses have been specially developed for Sony full-frame mirrorless system cameras. The lenses are fully compatible with all E-mount cameras and offer fast and quiet autofocus as well as dust and splash protection. For creative work, the distance and depth of field can be read on the innovative OLED display. The fast ZEISS Batis family offers perfect imaging performance thanks to the completely newly developed optical design.

A lens with relatively few glass-to-air surfaces, developed by Dr. Ludwig Bertele at ZEISS in 1930, it was the fastest lens for 35 mm photography at the time with apertures up to 1:1.5 and high contrast thanks to good stray light characteristics. This is where the name, derived from the word sun, the symbol for maximum brightness, comes from.

Smooth and reliable autofocus

The design of the autofocus system requires extremely precise shifting of certain lens groups. The focusing system of ZEISS lenses is designed to guarantee a robust and smooth autofocus mechanism with the best imaging performance.

Versatile full-frame lens

The high-performance lens for the Sony full-frame mirrorless system meets the highest demands. Even with a compact design, the image result meets the expectations of professional photographers.

Optical image stabilization

Optical image stabilization allows you to take clear, blur-free pictures in difficult lighting situations. In conjunction with the camera's internal OIS, the advantages of both systems are combined. In addition, this feature ensures perfect images without digital noise, as the ISO values do not need to be increased to compensate for poor lighting conditions.

Robust and weatherproof metal construction

The lens is perfectly suited for demanding outdoor use thanks to design measures to prevent the ingress of dust and splash water. And ready for years of intensive use.

Innovative OLED display

For the first time on a lens, you can easily and intuitively read the focus distance and depth of field precisely on the OLED display. Readability is always guaranteed, especially in difficult lighting conditions.
