    If your looking for a perfect lense for portraits, this is it! After lots of research I decided on this 85mm and could not be more pleased. This 1.8 performs very well with nice Bokeh. I use it on my Sony a7iii and I love the results in low light!

    Item was packaged well and with no flaws. Also arrived earlier than expected. It came as promised. Takes great images and the shutter speed is bang for your buck!
