    Wonderful 85mm ... AF is amazingly fast, eye AF with this works beautiful on the A7iii. Sharp and solid colors. Nice thick glass, good weight when shooting. Much better price than the G

    Best lens for an 85mm at an affordable price. Almost has the same performance and sharpness to the more expensive G Master 85mm. Get this lens if your on a budget. Great for video as well.

    It is not a heavy lens and is sharp. It is a better choice than spending a lot more for the other options that Sony has. It's a great lens to choose if you need a 85mm for Sony.

    Sharpness redefined. Love the quality and best for its price point when compared to G Master. I would definitely recommend to everyone who is having a Sony alpha camera.

    3 year anniversary with this lens w/ a7RIII, so it has been through the gauntlet. The quality to price on the prime lens is a no brainer. It takes extremely sharp portraits in all light and lightning fast indoors for sporting events with nice bokeh, mostly basketball for me, as long as you're shooting 1/2 of the court. I own the super sharp G Master lens 16-35 2.8, Tamron 28-70 2.8 and this prime right here is my go to for the money/memory maker portraits. Best value in the Sony line-up for what it gives you.

    I got this for my portraits and boy am I happy with it, the shots come out so crisp it makes me to a double take. The bokeh fans will be happy with this one also.

    It was mostly good for pictures far away but it wasn’t too good with videos and up close content (example: if you wanted to review something in your room it would only show your face and nothing else)

    This lens is super sharp and it’s definitely a bargain for the price. I’ve used the 85mm G-Master F1.4 and while the GM lens is better this lens is very close second.

    This lens is spot on. True king of bokeh. Only 5 to 10% less performance than the G lens and Batis lens but at 70% less in price. And still and A for portraits.
