7Artisans Spectrum Nikon Z-Mount 85mm
A 270-degree focus throw and T2.0 aperture define this 85mm cine lens, with a 10-blade diaphragm and near-zero breathing for smooth bokeh and stable framing. ED glass and MC multilayer coating suppress fringing and flare, while the stepless gear ring integrates with follow-focus systems. It suits manual-focus video creators on Sony E-mount, especially for interviews, macro details, and narrative scenes where rack-focus precision matters.
