Get gorgeous intimate or low-light portraits, fashion shots, and quick candid photographs with superior visual accuracy with the Carl Zeiss® SAL-85F14Z lens.


Superb Sharpness at Fully Open Aperture
In conjunction with the Super SteadyShot® image stabilization system of the Sony รก (alpha) DSLR-A100 camera, this superb Carl Zeiss® lens achieves pinpoint sharpness -- even working with hand-held camera by available light.
Excellent Contrast Reproduction
Precision optical design and advanced T coatings help to reduce flare and increase contrast.
Smooth Backgrounds
Smooth, visually pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds give portraits and close-ups an extra dimension of beauty.
Focus Hold Button
For full creative control, a focus hold button located on the lens can lock auto-focusing even in continuous advance mode -- and focus lock can also be set on the spot-focus center frame area.
Auto Clutch
In auto-focus mode, the manual focus ring does not rotate -- and in manual focusing, you’ll have a solid, hands-on feel.
