Made for

Interviews, portraits, product close-ups.

Portraits in the rice terraces with a soft background, sit-down interviews in the villa, and product shots. It won't focus closer than 80 cm, so give yourself room, and add the Variable ND 82mm for wide-open shots in midday sun.

The FE 85 f/1.8 or the FE 35 f/1.8?

Pick it over the Sony FE 35mm f/1.8 when you want faces big in the frame and the background soft, and you've got room to stand back. See the Sony FE 35mm f/1.8.

Guides that pack this

• Ubud Monkey Forest camera tips: film it, keep your gear. A full-frame body and an 85mm portrait lens: sharp portraits from a couple of metres back, so you keep your distance and the monkey stays relaxed. Camera on the neck strap, both hands on it.
• Sidemen Bali rice terraces: the Mount Agung shot. Full-frame holds the bright sky and the dark fields together at dawn, the 85mm prime compresses the view so the volcano stands tall behind the terraces, and the tripod steadies the low-light frame before the sun is up.
• Tirta Empul purification ritual: what you can film. A full-frame body and an 85mm so you can frame your group from the dry edge of the pool, keeping your distance from worshippers instead of pushing in with a wide lens.
• Ubud Kecak fire dance: how to film it in the dark. Full-frame for clean high ISO in the dark, the 85mm f/1.8 to lift one dancer out of the black from your seat, and the 35mm f/1.8 wide enough for the whole chorus circle.
