The PFU RBMH 85mm f/1.8 from Viltrox is a short-telephoto prime designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. The focal length pairs with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, which helps to isolate focus using depth of field as well as benefits working in difficult lighting conditions. The optical design comprises one extra-low dispersion element, along with four elements made from highly transparent glass, that aids in reducing chromatic and spherical aberrations in order to realize high clarity and sharpness. An HD Nano multi-layer coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. The lens has a manual focus design, which permits working with subjects as close as 2.6' away, and its nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality. Additionally, it is constructed from brass for durability and an electronic interface allows for camera-based aperture selection.

Portrait-length prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however, it can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.

HD Nano multi-layer coating has been applied to individual elements to reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast. Also, this coating is water-resistant to help protect the exposed surfaces from moisture.

Manual focus design, with a 145.9° focus throw, permits working with subjects as close as 2.6' away.

Engraved focus distance and depth of field scales benefit working with pre-focus and hyperfocal focusing techniques.

A 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Brass lens barrel construction realizes a physically durable design that also affords the smooth operation.

Kevin ★★★★★

The manual focus ring has just the right amount of resistance for precise adjustments, and the f/1.8 aperture handles low light beautifully. I’m getting sharp portraits with nice background separation straight out of camera.

Lucy ★★★★★

The extra-low dispersion element really cuts down on color fringing in backlit portraits, and the manual focus feel is precise and damped just right. Sharp wide open at f/1.8 with nice contrast, too.

Ella F. ★★★★★

The focus ring is buttery smooth, and the depth-of-field scale makes zone focusing a breeze on my Sony body. Sharp wide open at f/1.8, and the bokeh renders beautifully, even if I have to give up autofocus for it.
