7Artisans 85mm T2.0 Large Aperture Full Frame Cine 85mm
The 85mm T2.0 full-frame cine lens offers near-zero focus breathing and a 270-degree focus throw, enabling precise manual pulls and stable framing. Its ED glass with MC coating delivers high-res detail and reduced flare, while the stepless 11-blade aperture creates smooth, natural bokeh. This lens is best for independent filmmakers on L-mount systems who need a dedicated portrait lens for interviews and narrative close-ups where breathing control is critical.
