The Sony Carl Zeiss SAL-85F14Z lens is a brilliant lens for portraits, low light and midrange telephoto shooting. It’s a beautiful piece of glass–and for intimate or low-light portraits, fashion shots, and quick candid photographs with superior visual accuracy, this professional lens will satisfy the most uncompromising demands. Its performance at fully open aperture is astonishingly precise–and its 35mm-equivalent 125.7mm focal length gives you sharp midrange close-ups and natural, distortion-free portraits at relaxed distances. Features: Superb Sharpness at Fully Open Aperture: In conjunction with the Super SteadyShot image stabilization system of the Sony α (Alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, this superb Carl Zeiss lens achieves pinpoint sharpness–even working with hand-held camera by available light. Excellent Contrast Reproduction: Precision optical design and advanced T* coatings help to reduce flare and increase contrast. Smooth Backgrounds: Smooth, visually pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds give portraits and close-ups an extra dimension of beauty. Focus Hold Button: For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing even in continuous advance mode–and focus lock can also be set on the spot-focus center frame area. Auto Clutch: In auto-focus mode, the manual focus ring does not rotate–and in manual focusing, you’ll have a solid, hands-on feel. Compatible Models Sony DSLR-A100, DSLR-A100K. What’s in the Box: Lens, front and rear lens cap, SH0002 lens hood.
