Features
Overview: The Sony SAL85F14Z (85mm F1.4 ZA) is a superior-quality, α (alpha) series, mid-range telephoto prime lens. This Carl Zeiss Planar T* (T-star) lens is perfect for portraits and medium-telephoto landscapes. The lens comes with a lens hood and vinyl lens pouch.
Compatibility: The SAL85F14Z lens is equipped with a Sony A-mount, and is designed for use with Sony α (alpha) 35mm Full Frame A-mount cameras. It can be mounted onto A-mount cameras with APS-C sensors but with a 1.5x conversion factor. The equivalent focal length on an APS-C camera is 127.5mm. The lens can also be used on Sony E-mount interchangeable lens cameras, when used with the LA-EA4 mount adapter (sold separately).
Focus Ring with Auto Clutch: The lens features a wide focus ring with an auto clutch mechanism that does not rotate during autofocus operation.
Focus Hold Button: Pressing the Focus Hold button turns off the Auto Focus and "fix" the focus at its present position. You can release the shutter on the fixed focus. Releasing the Focus Hold button while pressing the shutter button halfway starts the AF again.
Lens Hood: The lens includes the ALC-SH0002 bayonet-mount lens hood to reduce flare and ensure maximum image quality. When mounted, the lens hood adds approximately 2.5" to the overall length of the lens. When not in use, the lens hood can be inverted and stored on the lens backwards.
