Best telephoto lens for Sony full frame
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best lens for an 85mm at an affordable price. Almost has the same performance and sharpness to the more expensive G Master 85mm. Get this lens if your on a budget. Great for video as well.

Great Lens! So far So good!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the Bokeh this underated lens provides. It's Light weight and is a great duo with my Sony A7III.

Great bang for your buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is not a heavy lens and is sharp. It is a better choice than spending a lot more for the other options that Sony has. It's a great lens to choose if you need a 85mm for Sony.

Tack Sharp
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sharpness redefined. Love the quality and best for its price point when compared to G Master. I would definitely recommend to everyone who is having a Sony alpha camera.

Crisp portrait lens.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my portraits and boy am I happy with it, the shots come out so crisp it makes me to a double take. The bokeh fans will be happy with this one also.

Love me some 85mm f/1.8 portraits and indoor sport
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.3 year anniversary with this lens w/ a7RIII, so it has been through the gauntlet. The quality to price on the prime lens is a no brainer. It takes extremely sharp portraits in all light and lightning fast indoors for sporting events with nice bokeh, mostly basketball for me, as long as you're shooting 1/2 of the court. I own the super sharp G Master lens 16-35 2.8, Tamron 28-70 2.8 and this prime right here is my go to for the money/memory maker portraits. Best value in the Sony line-up for what it gives you.

Excellent 85mm Lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friend Great lens
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great lens and is definitely worth every bit of its cost. If you shoot portraits, this lens is a valuable asset to your kit.

Must Have Sony Lens
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Spot on.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great lens for a solid price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great performer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).
