Sony 85mm focal length, F1.4 maximum aperture and precision Carl Zeiss T* Coated Planar optics: it all adds up to superlative performance and handling for portraiture or medium-telephoto landscapes. The delicate, nuanced "drawing" of the Planar design makes it possible to capture subtleties of light and texture that can give images extraordinary depth and presence. Graceful reproduction of skin tones and textures is a characteristic
that is prized by photographers and subjects alike. Shooting comfort is
another feature of this refined lens. A wide focus ring with auto clutch
mechanism does not rotate during autofocus operation, and a focus hold
button on the lens itself lies right under your fingertips for easy access.
