    Great lens if you want a light weight one and it takes the quality of photos around 85% as good as the Sony 85mm f1.4 GM

    Bought this portrait to use on my A7Riii. Awesome lens. Not much difference between this and the 1.2 more expensive 85mm.

    I love this lens. Great for portraits and landscape photography. Over $1,000 cheaper than the 85mm 1.4 for pretty much the same quality. Highly recommended
