Zeiss Otus ML 1.4/85
Take your photography to the next level with the Zeiss Otus 1.4/85 lens. Built for superior image quality with unmatched resolution, this manual focus lens will put your craft into a whole new perspective.
85mm Manual Focus Lens
Focus on your story with this Zeiss Otus 85mm lens that brings details to life that you can barely see with your naked eye. As one of the most popular prime focal lengths for portrait photographers, the 85mm gets just that bit close to your subject, releasing the narrative of your image.
Precision Manual Focus
When working to the highest level, precision is everything. The smooth, metal focus ring has a helicoid drive for buttery smooth manual control and the torque and rotation angle have been designed to find the sweet spot of sharpness. A long focus throw, without play, and clear, easily readable scales support an intuitive interaction across the whole image plane.
Signature Zeiss Quality with 3D Pop
Zeiss Distagon and Sonnar lenses are known for their unmatched image quality. The Zeiss Otus 1.4/85 is no different, optimised for the latest mirrorless cameras, it produces clear and sharp images with true-to-life colour, and that signature 3D Pop subject separation.
The apochromatic lens design, with 14 special lens elements, results in excellent colour fidelity with minimal fringing and close to zero chromatic aberration. The aspherical lens design has almost no field curvature for edge-to-edge performance and the T* coating eliminates flare and ghosting even when shooting in strong direct sunlight.
10-Blade f1.4 Aperture
The 10-blade aperture creates stunning subject separation with round bokeh at f1.4. It makes the Otus lens amazing for low and tricky lighting situations. The manual aperture control on the lens has a de-click function for fine-tuning the settings, ideal for filmmaking, as well as precise photography.
All-Weather Build
Optimised for the lightweight nature of mirrorless cameras the 85mm lens weighs 1040g and is well balanced. The lens has an all-metal construction, designed for both durability and portability.
The Otus lens is crafted to withstand some of the most extreme environments, it is dust and splash-proof, usable between -20° to +55°C, has a blue seal ring to protect the camera mount and has been environmentally tested for mechanical, vibration and shock resistance up to DIN ISO 9022 standards.

Does the Zeiss Otus ML 1.4/85 have image stabilisation?
No, the lens uses the in-body stabilisation of the camera it is mounted to.
Should I buy a manual focus lens?
If your intention is to make slower, more deliberate images then a manual focus (MF) lens will allow you to enjoy the craft of photography on a different level. Modern mirrorless cameras have many features to support manual focus such as Peaking which allows you to photograph exactly how you would like to and combat advanced compositions.
