    I was skeptical of purchasing an open box lens but at the time the price was just right and it seemed to be in good shape. Although I wouldn’t really know until I attached it to my camera and use it. No complaints so far. Love it, I use it for short films, music videos etc. the depth of field is incredible.

    Absolute butter! This lens produces the creamiest bokeh and the auto focus is lightning fast. At a fraction of the cost it shoots at the same level as and even higher in some areas than G master lenses of the same spec. 100% worth the purchase.

    Outstanding lens ! As clear and sharp as the more expensive lenses of the same size. Great for portraits! The colors and sharpness of this lens are truly amazing. The build quality,feel and weight are very good. Extremely solid but not too heavy.

    This is a very good alternative to the more expensive 85 mm lenses like gmasters and Batis . This is super sharp and won’t leave a dent in your wallet at the same time . Highly recommended if you want a bang for your buck lens at 85 mm

    This was my first lens for Sony. I may say I'm truly impressed!! Everyone will say get the 1.4 lens, theoretically it's super rate I ever shoot at that f-stop. Do yourself a favor and get this lens for the great price it's listed at.

    This is an amazing piece of glass. It holds its own with the Batis 85. One can argue that at its price its an incredible bargain. It performs beautifully and has provided me with a number of great portraits & street shots.

    I love this Lens! It’s great for portraits. The Quality is Crisp. I love how it Blur out the background & focuses on Your Portrait Subject. Def Recommend It. Just Know you will have to keep a good Distance from Your Subject To Get The Best Results

    We loved our 35mm sigma lens so when we bought this we didn’t know if we would be able to take the 35 off but this lens did not disappoint. The bokeh is so smooth. Would definitely recommend!
