    Excellent 85mm Lens

    This lens is super sharp and it’s definitely a bargain for the price. I’ve used the 85mm G-Master F1.4 and while the GM lens is better this lens is very close second.

    Cant go wrong with this lens... 1/3 the price of the GM85mm 1.4 but does almost the same job and quality of the pictures that come out of it is amazing

    This lens is spot on. True king of bokeh. Only 5 to 10% less performance than the G lens and Batis lens but at 70% less in price. And still and A for portraits.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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 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.
