A relatively affordable "portrait lens" for full-frame Sony mirrorless cameras preserves the proportions and shapes of the model's face to the maximum extent, and also allows you to get spectacular background blur thanks to the fast aperture of f / 1.8. For the shape of objects in the blur zone and, accordingly, the beauty of bokeh, the 9-blade diaphragm is responsible. The Sony FE 85mm F1.8 is made in a minimalist style — the only controls on the lens body are the autofocus off lever and the autofocus lock button (you can assign other functions to it in the camera menu). There is no optical stabilizer in the arsenal of the model, however, it does not need it, because. All Sony mirrorless fullframes are equipped with a matrix image stabilization system. In the category of individual pluses, it is worth highlighting the dust and water protection of the lens, which allows you to use it in almost any situation.

A focal length of about 85 mm is considered a reference when it comes to portrait photography. When shooting at this value, it is possible to preserve the proportions and shapes of the model's face to the maximum. The most affordable portrait lens in Sony's full-frame mirrorless portfolio is the FE 85mm f/1.8.
Minimalism
The design of the model implements the concept of minimalism — from the controls on the metal body of the lens there is only a programmable button on the side and, of course, a wide manual focus ring. By default, the aforementioned key is used to lock the focus, however, from the camera's "carcass" menu, it can be reconfigured to your liking.
Fast autofocus
The optical design of the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 is based on 9 elements united under the wing of 8 groups. Also inside the dust- and moisture-proof body of the “portrait” is a nimble autofocus motor, which accurately and without unnecessary noise catches the subject of shooting. The drive of the automatic focus system handles well with both leisurely portrait photography and highly dynamic scenes.
sharp picture
The lens “draws” a sharp picture in the centre of the frame already from the open aperture. In this case, chromatic aberrations may be noticeable on the image, which, nevertheless, are easily corrected in a photo editor at the post-production stage. Detailing reaches its maximum in the aperture range f / 2.5-4 — the picture with such settings literally “rings” with sharpness.
bokeh character
The 9-blade diaphragm structure allows you to get a round outline of objects in the blur zone. However, you can’t call bokeh perfect drawing with a lens — it turns out the model is slightly “twisted”. However, for a creative tool, which is the Sony FE 85mm f / 1.8, this nature of background blur is forgivable, since it allows you to expressively beat the scene being shot.
