A normal-length prime, this 45mm lens is designed for full-frame Canon EF mount DSLRs, and is also compatible with APS-C models where it will provide a 72mm equivalent focal length.

Fast f1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also avails Selective focus control.

One LD (Low Dispersion) element helps To minimize chromatic aberrations in order To achieve greater clarity with reduced color fringing.

Two aspherical elements correct for spherical and comatic aberrations, as well as distortion, for consistent edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination throughout the aperture Range, as well as a reduction of sagittal comatic flare.

Ring-type USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor is employed for fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance that benefits both stills and video recording. This motor also enables full-time manual focus control without having To shift into a dedicated MF mode.

Moisture-resistant construction incorporates seals around the lens mount and other areas To benefit working in inclement conditions. Additionally, a fluorine coating has been applied To the front lens element To repel water, fingerprints, and smudges for easier cleaning of the lens surface.

eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coatings have been applied To lens elements To reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.

VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization is incorporated into the lens' design To minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting in low-light conditions.

A Floating System is employed that moves a single group of elements To control focus in order To provide faster AF response as well as a minimum focusing distance of 11.4" and maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.4 for enhanced close-up shooting.

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with shallow depth of field techniques.

Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di USD Overview

An ideal focal length for portraiture, the SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Lens from Tamron is a short-telephoto prime designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs. Incorporating one Low Dispersion element and one Extra Low Dispersion element into the optical design, this lens is adept at reducing chromatic aberrations and color fringing for a high degree of clarity and color accuracy, as well as sharpness and resolution. BBAR and eBAND coatings have also been applied to minimize flare and ghosting for increased contrast when working in strong lighting conditions, and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality to benefit shallow depth of field imagery. Classic in terms of focal length yet optimized for the recent breed of high-resolution DSLRs, this portrait-length prime melds a familiar perspective with contemporary performance.

Complementing the optical assets, this lens is also characterized by Vibration Compensation image stabilization, which minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 3.5 stops for sharper handheld shooting. Also aiding in creating sharp imagery, a robust ring-type USD autofocus motor with an optimized USD actuator is used for noticeably fast and accurate focusing performance. This focusing system also lends itself to full-time manual focus control for fine-tuned precision. A moisture-resistant physical construction enables its use in trying environments and the front element has also received a fluorine coating to guard against smudges and moisture from affecting image quality. Additionally, this lens is compatible with the optional TAP-in Console for fine-tuning focusing performance and updating the lens' firmware.

An ideal portrait-length prime, this 85mm lens is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, and is also compatible with APS-C models where it will provide a 136mm equivalent focal length.
