Viltrox AF for Sony E 85mm
Weighing just 340g, this is the lightest full-frame 85mm autofocus lens Viltrox has made, combining an F2.0 aperture with a 9-blade diaphragm for soft bokeh without the bulk. Its compact build includes a customizable Fn button, a de-clickable aperture ring, and weather sealing, offering pro-level handling in a travel-friendly package. This lens is best for portrait and street photographers who need a fast, stabilized prime for Sony E-mount cameras and want to avoid carrying heavy glass during long handheld shoots.
