    Most used lens after a year!

    After a year of owning this, I can honestly say this is my most used lens. I always gravitate towards this, and my clients and friends love the photos I take with this the most. However, there are some downsides I think are fixed with the GM version. Sometimes, the autofocus is slow and bokeh on this are not high quality.

    Best lens for the price focus ring feels cheap and suffers some chromatic aberrations but for 600$ you will jot find anything better or a more compact 85mm prime also 67mm filter thread is great for buying filters

    If your looking for a perfect lense for portraits, this is it! After lots of research I decided on this 85mm and could not be more pleased. This 1.8 performs very well with nice Bokeh. I use it on my Sony a7iii and I love the results in low light!
