Versatile Short-Tele Prime. The Tokina ATX-M 85mm f/1.8 FE’s short-telephoto focal length makes it excellent for a range of applications, including portraiture, landscape photography, and sports photography. Using an APS-C camera? You’ll get a 127.5mm-equivalent focal length.

Fast Aperture. The constant f/1.8 aperture is great for shooting in low light. It also offers superlative depth-of-field control for better subject-background isolation. The nine-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasing bokeh.

High-Quality Optics. This lens’s seven-group/ten-element design incorporates one SD low-dispersion element that helps minimize aberrations and distortion. Super Low Reflection Multi-Coatings on each of the lens elements reduce lens flare and ghosting for color accuracy, clarity, and contrast, while repelling water, oil, and debris.

Stepping-Motor Autofocus System. This fast, nearly silent autofocus system is ideal for both still and video shooting, and the all-metal focus unit gives you a dampened manual-focus feel for even greater precision. The internal-focusing design makes for especially quick autofocus performance, while guaranteeing that it maintains its overall length while focusing.

Electronic Interface. The Tokina 85mm’s lens mount includes an electronic interface that transfers all EXIF data to the camera. It also means you can use in-camera functions like image stabilization, manual-focus assist, and eye autofocus.
