A classic portrait-length prime, the Canon EF-mount Planar T* 85mm f/1.4 ZE from ZEISS is a short telephoto lens, ideal for producing shallow depth of field effects and isolating focus on subject matter. Beyond offering increased control over depth of field, the bright f/1.4 maximum aperture also excels in difficult lighting conditions and suits handheld shooting in low-light situations. The Planar-type optical concept is a tried-and-true design that yields consistently high sharpness throughout the focusing range with even illumination throughout the aperture range. Also, a T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to individual elements to control lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy.
Prime portrait-length lens is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 136mm equivalent focal length.
Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture affords extensive control over depth of field for achieving selective focus effects and also benefits working in low-light conditions.
Planar optical design affords high sharpness and consistent performance throughout the focusing range to suit photographing at a wide range of imaging scales.
ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and color fidelity.
Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 3.3'.
All-metal lens barrel and mount offers high durability and rigidity.
A nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when working with selective focus techniques.

Zeiss 85mm f1.4 canon mount Used on 80d and a73 with adapter for stills and video Bokeh monster!!! amazing lens for photo and video, the images that the zeiss classic series lenses create are just cinematic, from the micro contrast to the bokeh is something else. This lens has astethics and cinematic quality that many look for or try to add in post production. Does take some practice to use on dslr but with focus peking on mirrorless it is a breeze to nail focus for photo and video. This lens is razor sharp edge to edge f1.4 onwards. It is built like a tank, full metal construction!! It is a premium product at a premium price but totally worth it, for those who are looking for any thing but the typical clinical photos and videos.
