Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a decent lens, not great, not terrible. For the price it has some issues, as expected. If you are getting into Sony mirrorless full body game and want to keep this lens as portrait lens and use it once in a while, this may be for you. If you want to save up to something like a Sigma, and you can afford the time, please do so. Sigma is in the Sony GM league, this is does not compare.

I used this lens on my trip to the Azore islands 2 weeks ago and was thrilled with the results! The reviews that flowed about this lens were completely accurate. Not much else to say other than, you need this in your kit! Enjoy

Great lens for portrait photography and cinematic footages. I am a Sony a7 iii user and this lens is a must for full frame Sony camera. You can get crispy images&footages and smooth blurry background. Definitely recommend it.

Focus speed is quite fast, locking onto subjects quickly and effectively.

it is a great lense. i am used to a zoom lense, but it does it’s job !

I open many Sony and third party lenses and this is my favorite. Fast and smooth autofocus, and very nice depth of field. Glad I saved the money compared to some third party lenses at the same focal distance.

Great lens and awesome bokeh. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now. I put it to the test in the Singapore Botanical Gardens and it performed very well. Captured beautiful photos of the orchid display.

This is a rare occasion where Sony offers a quality lens that is a bargain. Normally a Sony lens of this quality is only in the $1K dollar range. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed in this lens.

If you have Sony A series mirror less camera... This was such a great lens for the price..... This actually is the best quality lens for the price!!!!! You will NOT be upset..

The Sony 85mm f/1.8 Lens is smooth and quiet. I’ve only shot a little bit with it so far, but it’s been handling like a dream. It’s a fantastic portrait lens for the price! I’m shooting on the a7II.

I returned the lense great lens, but I didn't realize it doesn't zoom in and out.

I was wary about buying this lens and was contemplating buying the G Master but man did it perform like a dream. Solid lens and I recommend it to amateurs or professionals if you like taking sharp portraits

Countless of positive reviews on youtube encouraged me to get this lens and I have not been disappointed. It’s simply amazing. It produces sharp portrait images and videos combined with my Sony A7iii.

This lens is highly comparable to the 85 1.4 G Master lens. I owned both, and in my opinion this one was worth the money much more. Both were decenly sharp wide open, and this lens performs best at 2.8.

Great lens. Close up shots are made easy. I love that this lens catches a lot of light. In addition, images are quality and colors show nicely.

Bought this for my sister and she loves it! I don't know what but if she likes it, it must be good! She loves to take pictures and I have seen some of her pictures and they definitely look great!

Great product!! One of my favorite lenses that I own

Definitely one of the top lens out there for portrait photography. Not too heavy but also not too light. I'd recommend this lens to anybody with a sony e mount for beginners and pros.

I wasn't sure about buying this lens at first but I am glad I ended up buying it. It's a great lens to use for portraits. The bokeh is nice and the pictures are very sharp

As a first time photographer this lens is very helpful and practical for portrait photography. Even though there are limitations with the size of the lens and the object tracking software connected with the hardware is never ideal this lens is a solid workhorse. My recommendation for anyone thinking about buying a new lens, especially a first time photographer I would highly recommend this lens as an ideal choice.
