The Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.4 for Sony E is a full-frame portrait lens designed to deliver sharp, flattering results with strong subject separation. Its bright f/1.4 aperture makes it well suited to low-light shooting while producing smooth, natural-looking background blur.

An advanced optical design combines extra-low dispersion, high refractive, and ultra-precision elements to maintain clarity across the frame while reducing distortion and colour fringing. Dual Hyper VCM motors provide fast, quiet autofocus with reliable eye and face detection, making it a practical choice for both stills and video work. Built with a weather-sealed metal body, this lens is made for regular use on location as well as in the studio.

  • Wedding and event shooters needing reliable autofocus

How it works

f/1.4 aperture
Lets in more light, helping you shoot handheld in darker conditions while achieving strong subject separation with soft, controlled background blur.

Advanced optical design
The combination of ED, HR and UA elements helps reduce chromatic aberration and distortion while maintaining sharpness from centre to edge. This means cleaner images straight out of camera, especially important for high-resolution sensors.

Dual Hyper VCM autofocus
Provides fast, accurate and near-silent focusing. Ideal for portraits where eye detection is critical, and for video where quieter operation matters.

HD nano multi-layer coating
Reduces flare and ghosting, helping maintain contrast and colour accuracy when shooting into light.

Custom controls and USB updates
Function buttons and switches allow quicker handling adjustments, while the USB port makes it easy to keep the lens firmware up to date.

Weather-sealed build
A durable metal construction with sealing against dust and splashes, giving more confidence when shooting outdoors.

Why choose this lens

This lens balances creative control with practical usability. The wide aperture gives you flexibility in lighting and depth of field, while the autofocus system ensures you can work quickly and accurately. Its build quality and weather sealing make it suitable for professional use without needing to compromise on portability.
