AstrHori 85mm f/2.8 Macro Tilt Canon RF Full Frame
This 85mm lens not only has a macro setting but also a swivel mechanism for tilting. As a pure macro lens, it is suitable for full-format cameras. With a minimum distance of 11cm from the front lens to the subject (or the close-up limit of 25cm), the image scale is 1:1. This makes it ideal for taking pictures of small animals, plants, jewelry, etc. For tilting, the lens can be tilted by up to ±8 degrees and rotated by 360 degrees. Tilting the focal plane opens up new creative possibilities. (It should be noted, however, that the sensor format is limited to APS-C when tilting.) The tilt effect creates a kind of “Alice in Wonderland” effect when taking pictures in the miniature world. Small figures, model cars, miniature landscapes appear really large when the focal plane is tilted. The tilt effect is not only interesting in the macro area. Tilting allows the sharpness of subjects shot at an angle to be maintained from front to back, even with the aperture fully open. For example, a fence or a house shot at an angle will be shown in full focus, while everything to the side will disappear into blur. As an 85mm lens and with an angle of view of 28.2 degrees, it is of course also an ideal portrait lens with good focus control thanks to the high light intensity of f/2.8. The optical structure of 11 elements in 8 groups, including two ED elements to prevent chromatic aberration, ensures the highest optical quality. The aperture with its 12 blades, which can be adjusted from f/2.8 to f/16, creates a beautiful circular bokeh. The lens has a diameter of 63mm, a length of 110mm and weighs 720 grams. A 55mm filter thread enables the use of standard screw-in filters. The distance and aperture are set manually.
