Shallow Depth and Striking Bokeh
The T1.4 aperture delivers shallow depth of field and exquisite bokeh that isolates the subject beautifully, while the 11-blade iris ensures smooth and natural out-of-focus areas that are pleasing to the eye. It's an ideal choice for character close-ups and emotional storytelling.

Even in low-light environments, the 85mm delivers clean, detailed imagery with a cinematic glow.

Optical Clarity with No Compromises
Featuring precision optical elements, the lens suppresses chromatic aberration, fringing, and distortion. Multi-layer coatings enhance contrast, control flare, and retain deep blacks and highlight detail.

The image remains crisp and consistent across the entire aperture range, ensuring reliability in every frame.

Minimal Breathing, Maximum Focus Control
Designed for cinematic precision, the 85mm features virtually zero focus breathing-perfect for narrative sequences and dialogue-driven scenes. With a 300 Degree focus throw, it offers fine manual control for critical focusing moments.

Durability in a Lightweight Package

The integrated rear filter system gives filmmakers additional image customization without front-mounted filter complications.

Optimized for On-Set Workflow
Low-light readable glow-in-the-dark ring markings, dual-scale focus (feet/meters), and unified gear positions across the set make the 85mm fast and easy to work with. Whether switching lenses on the fly or dialing in exact focus, this lens is built for efficiency.

Matched to the Aureus and Athena Look
The 85mm maintains the color neutrality, contrast, and rendering style of the entire Aureus Prime series-and pairs effortlessly with the Athena Prime lenses for cross-set consistency. Whether mixing focal lengths or sets, the 85mm fits right in.
