Awesome glass
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! love this Sony 85mm f1.8 It has become my go to lens. Been looking for my preferred lens for a long time I had many others. But this focal length is my style. Did a run n gun BD party for fun and was blown away by the quality of video. Outstanding Picture.
I would recommend this to a friendVery nice 85mm !!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very excellent 85mm. I won’t say it’s any better or worse than my old trusty Nikon 1.8 right in that ball park. I haven’t used it enough to really get into the gritty, but it’s a daily worker for me now.

Buy it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best bang for your buck 85mm native Sony lens. Low-profile, sleeping dragon of a lens. AF is crazy quick in photo and video. Probably the best value ~$500 purchase I’ve made in my camera kit. It won’t disappoint. Period.

Best starter Sony lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing lens. I would recommend this to anyone over Sony's pathetic FE 50mm 1.8, which hunts for focus in low light and is NOISY. This quiet, lightweight lens produces stunning images and beautiful portraits effortlessly.

Great lens for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The differences between this lens and the 85mm f/1.4 gm are very minimal. Though the 1.4 has slightly better picture quality, this lens is cheaper and more portable making it a better lens for newer portrait photographers
