Good quality lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good portrait and small telephoto lens. Picture quality is very good. Not too heavy with Sony a7iii. A good lens to add to your collection.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat lens for a solid price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressed with this lens. Though it's not a GM, it produces insanely sharp photo/video and has incredible auto focus. Especially for the price.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat performer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is probably the best bang for the buck portrait lens - sharp, fast, and compact. Very little IQ compromise over other premium lens (such as Zeiss, G Master).
I would recommend this to a friendSharper than GM
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow. I was shocked by how sharp the 85 is. It creates buttery bokeh, and best off all its ultra light weight. My new favorite lens to use.
I would recommend this to a friendMediocre at best.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I switched from canon to Sony in hopes the hype train was right however I am back to Canon with the r6 as Sony features just weren't enough. the things you lack in Sony are in Canon, trust me, the stabilization is a different game, the IS in sony is a joke. Worth looking into. This lens was used for many weddings but I am happy when I saw I gave it away on offer up just to get rid of it.

Super sharp, great portrait lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally bought the Sony FE 50mm F1.8 lens, I returned it as the autofocus was slow and very noisy. This lens is great, very fast autofocus and silent. Great portrait lens, F1.8 ape rapture is great for low light situations or when you need a fast shutter speed to freeze action. Great bokeh for blurred backgrounds. Considering other portrait lenses for Sony full frame are several hundred more or even twice to three times the price, this lens is an incredible value. Highly recommended.
