From the editor
A powerful macro lens that allows shooting at 1:1 (life-size) magnification at a close focusing distance of 0.25m, with the closest working distance being 0.11m. Thanks to internal focusing, the front element does not move forward during focusing. With a classic focal length of 85mm and a moderately fast speed of F/2.8, this AstrHori can be used as a portrait lens, providing a narrow depth of field, blurring the background and isolating the subject. Finally, if that's not enough for you, the lens can be tilted up or down by up to 8° to change the shape of the depth of field. Moreover, the tilt direction can be changed by rotating the lens to any angle from 0 to 360°.
Of course, such a multifunctional lens cannot be light and compact, so it is recommended to use it on a tripod.
The front part of the lens has a bayonet mount, apparently intended for a lens hood. Unfortunately, the manufacturer is silent about the possibility of purchasing a dedicated lens hood for this lens.
