YOU CAN’T GO WRONG!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical of purchasing an open box lens but at the time the price was just right and it seemed to be in good shape. Although I wouldn’t really know until I attached it to my camera and use it. No complaints so far. Love it, I use it for short films, music videos etc. the depth of field is incredible.

Amazing lens for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best lens for the price focus ring feels cheap and suffers some chromatic aberrations but for 600$ you will jot find anything better or a more compact 85mm prime also 67mm filter thread is great for buying filters

Absolute Butter!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolute butter! This lens produces the creamiest bokeh and the auto focus is lightning fast. At a fraction of the cost it shoots at the same level as and even higher in some areas than G master lenses of the same spec. 100% worth the purchase.

Most used lens after a year!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a year of owning this, I can honestly say this is my most used lens. I always gravitate towards this, and my clients and friends love the photos I take with this the most. However, there are some downsides I think are fixed with the GM version. Sometimes, the autofocus is slow and bokeh on this are not high quality.

Excellent lens. Extremely sharp !

Budget friendly sharp lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a very good alternative to the more expensive 85 mm lenses like gmasters and Batis . This is super sharp and won’t leave a dent in your wallet at the same time . Highly recommended if you want a bang for your buck lens at 85 mm

Truly an amazing lens...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing piece of glass. It holds its own with the Batis 85. One can argue that at its price its an incredible bargain. It performs beautifully and has provided me with a number of great portraits & street shots.
