A highly practical medium telephoto lens with superb delineation and portability, the Opteka 85mm lens produces sharp and clear images at all apertures. Employing a re-designed optical system that includes Opteka's exclusive HD super multi coating, the 85mm f/1.8 inherits its predecessor's ultra-fast f/1.8 maximum aperture and rounded six-blade diaphragm for superior depth-of-field control and background blur (bokeh). Engineered to inspire new levels of creativity and artistry, the Opteka 85mm f/1.8 will unleash the full potential of your digital camera in the studio or in the field. And because the front lens group does not rotate during focusing, special filter effects are not affected. Best of all, the standard zoom lens with its natural angle of view and perspective, captures the subject plainly, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field.

One of the advantages of the Opteka 85mm is its build quality. The materials are glass and metal, there is no plastic used in this lens. It deliberately does not contain any electronics. It is 100% manual. The less parts it has, the less chances that something will break down. Opteka's super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance.

  • INCREASE YOUR CONTROL - With a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, you'll retain an impressive level of control over depth of field making this an ideal lens for selective focus techniques. With an elegant, all metal design that improves and enhances tactile response, once you get your hands on Opteka's 85mm f/1.8 lens, you will be continually inspired to bring your photography to the next level.
  • EXCELS IN LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS - This f/1.8 aperture setting allows for optimal working conditions for shooting both landscapes and portraits, even in extremely low light. Capture incredible photos with brilliant color in environments other lenses would fade.
  • MANUAL SUPER SMOOTH FOCUS - Since this lens contains no electronics, the mechanics of it's focusing ring are smooth and precise. A highly accurate tactile control allows you to obtain crystal clear images at ranges as close as 2.8 feet.
  • ENHANCED AND DYNAMIC FEATURES - Added conveniences and attention to detail make the 85mm a natural choice for photographers who want to up their game. HD Super Multi-Coating applied to the lens, limits flare and ghosting for stunning contrast. What's more, since the front lens group does not rotate while focusing, you can easily work with polarizing, graduated ND and other rotational-dependent filter types.
  • UNIVERSAL CANON COMPATIBILITY - EOS 7D, 7D Mark II, 80D, 77D, 70D, 60D, 60Da and Rebel T7i, T6s T6i, T5i, T5, T4i, T3i, T3, T2i, T1i SL1 APS-C Cameras and EOS 5D Mark II, 6D, 1D X, 1D C, 5D Mark III, 5DS and 5DS R Full Frame DSLR Cameras
