The ideal lens for portrait photography. Just as a painter instinctively picks the right brush, a portrait artist picks the 85mm lens. The focal length is perfect for beautiful images with true facial features in the correct proportion.
The Tamron SP 85mm F/1.8 is the world's first 85mm with a fast aperture and image stabilizer. Its unique design includes our VC (Vibration Compensation) system. Additionally, the SP 85mm F/1.8 provides a bright image through the camera's viewfinder for easy composition and superior performance in low light.
The bright F/1.8 aperture offers the perfect balance of sharpness and bokeh, that dreamy blur that makes your portrait stand out from the background.
Exceptional clarity and color
Chromatic aberration appears as purple or green color at the edges and periphery of images, especially against bright backgrounds. The SP 85mm F/1.8 uses low dispersion (LD) and extra low dispersion (XLD) optical elements in its design to minimize fringing and achieve clear image quality with high color fidelity.
Sharpness and Bokeh in balance
The SP 85mm F/1.8 is designed to render subjects with incredible clarity and flawless image quality. Tamron's design philosophy has incorporated photographers' – especially portrait photographers' – perception of using bokeh as a creative element to emphasize the subject.
Stable with Vibration Compensation
The SP 85mm F/1.8 is the world's first lens with a fixed focal length of 85mm and an F/1.8 aperture equipped with a VC system. This technology makes it possible to shoot handheld in low light and use lower shutter speeds without using high ISO.
Moisture resistance
Areas for potential moisture entry around switches and the point between the focus ring and the lens body are protected with special sealing. This ensures waterproofing from water droplets.
