    The lens takes nice portrait with blurry background. I took sunrise and sunset photos to compare with iPhone 13 pro. Although this lens is F1.8, my iPhone takes far better vivid shots with low light.

    This lens is ridiculously sharp. Having the AF/ MF switch on the lens is really helpful too. I'm using the a6500 right now, but eventually I'll upgrade to a full frame camera, and it's nice that I will still be able to use this lens when I do. Overall, great investment. Well worth the money.

    If your a Sony user, it really comes down to this guy and the 85 GM. I’ve used both and the only real discernible difference is build and features. Image quality on this lens is hard to beat at any price point. I absolutely love this lens for portraits.

    Great lens. Been my go to for portraits. Even occasional landscape. I compared this side by side with the Sony 85GM. Hardly tell the difference. Unless you really put it close. GM is slightly sharper. But definitely a great lens for the price.

    Why Did I Wait So Long To Get an 85mm?!

    The entire time I was with Canon I always wanted one of these but never got one. When I switched to Sony this is the first lens I bought to go with my new a7r ii and I couldn't be more pleased! I have gotten amazing images with this lens and I'm blown away at how versatile it is. This will stay in my kit from now on!

    This is the best portrait lens one can buy for under $1000. Creamt smooth bokeh. It also provides an extra button for focus lock ( or any other custom function ). Its a prime, so need to use your legs for framing, but you already know that!
