Pros: Sharpness - Autofocus - Construction - Price

Cons: Blurred - Flat Made

Opinion: I owned this lens for about 1 year, used on A7rII, Sharpness already Excellent at TA, in the range f2.8 > f5.6 I would say perfect from center to extreme edges, excellent build quality, heavy the right, fast autofocus precise and silent, as already pointed out in other reviews the bokeh has never convinced me 100% and in some conditions on TA shots I found the general yield flat, little contrasted but solvable with a good post production, but overall I think I would choose it again, the price gap with the G Master is really high ...

Pros: Value for money, construction, af, sharpness

Cons: Nothing to report

Opinion: The same goes for the FE 35 1.8 series colleague: very sharp, precise, fast optics, with a minimal design and construction that enjoys quality materials, with an exceptional quality / price ratio (always appreciated the assignable button located near the af / mf switch). As for the famous neutral colors, as for the 35, I personally consider it an advantage, the personality of a lens if it is linked to dominant or particular colors risks suffering the swing typical of the enthusiasms of a passing fashion. In terms of optical yield and autofocus this FE 85 1.8 is worth every penny of its price and does not disfigure in front of more expensive "cousins".

Pros: Dimensions, weight, sharpness, quality/price ratio

Cons: Bokeh not always soft, colors not very bright

Opinion: Lens with an excellent quality / price ratio, compact and light, af quite performing, sharp, good bokeh (sometimes a little hard), the colors seem sometimes off. I replaced it with the Sigma 85 DG DN 1.4, but in general I recommend the purchase to those who prefer greater portability and do not need the 1.4.

Pros: Size, sharpness, autofocus

Cons: Colors

Opinion: The 85mm f/1.8 from Sony is a great product for those who want to contain costs and have a good lens, or for those looking for something compact and light. The performance is excellent, both in terms of sharpness and vignetting, as well as the autofocus is very fast and silent because the lens is light and there is little glass to move. On the other hand, the colors are a bit washed out and rarely gave me the wow effect but, judging by the gallery, in the right hands it has nothing to fear from the most famous competitors but also heavier and more expensive.

Pros: sharpness, AF response even in low light, lightness, size

Cons: Colors... overall has little character, it's very correct

Opinion: Incredible optics... worth every penny. It won't have the colors and blurry of the GM but it's sharper, already at fabulous TA, it recovers everything already at 2.8. I have never had problems with flares in the backlights, contained distortion, extraordinary lens from every point of view also for its handling ... Of course, dying for the desire to own a stabilized one but it is another matter. Only flaw: it has no character and the blurry is ok. A purchase recommended for anyone who appreciates this magnificent focal point.
