AstrHori has announced the release of a new 85mm F1.8 autofocus lens for full-frame Sony E-mount camera systems.
The lens is constructed of nine elements in eight groups and uses multi-layer coatings to minimize flaring and ghosting. It features a nine-blade aperture diaphragm, has an aperture range of F1.8 through F16, and has a .8m (31”) minimum focusing distance.
