    As shape as the Zeiss lens but with 1/2 the price. Focus speed isn't bad, and pictures are very sharp, bokeh is very smooth. (I shoot with Sony A7R-ii.)

    Before buying this lens I had been using the kit lens with my A6000. This lens allows me to shoot in lower light situations and has a high degree of sharpness

    This lens is very sharp, I can't tell any difference between this one and the Zeiss Batis 85mm. Highly recommended if you do not want to pay $1000 more for the GM lens.

    If you want to completely separate the background from your subject/model. I highly recommend this. Really sharp. Have to turn down the clarity sometimes on portraits.

    Incredible sharpness, even at wide open aperture and resolves the 42MP sensor easily. One of the best, if not, THE best 85mm prime I’ve ever used.

    works amazing with full frame or crop sensor camera! Looks so crisp and sharp! I do video and photo with this so it’s a great telephoto lens when paired with a6500

    Most cost effective choice for a portrait lens out there for Sonys. The pics from this are very sharp, the focus very quick. It's a great buy!

    The 85 mm medium telephoto lens lets me take portraits at a distance a little further from the subject than a standard 50mm lens would. The results are good and natural looking portraits. I need to mount the weighty DSLR camera with lens on a tripod stand which I do as often as I can when shooting. Sharp images. Colors are llmost 100% true. I don't do color corrections. But happy with the results : portraits, outdoor and indoor scenes, in all seasons.
