Pros:Gorgeous for portraits, soft blurry. The rendering of colors is delicate. Solid construction.
Cons:Hard to find...
Opinion:Gorgeous optics, use on aps-c and full frame for portraiture. Solid construction, precise, blurry soft, very pleasant "pastel" color yield. The weight is a bit felt but nothing worrying, it is still a fairly compact fixture. It should be present in any respectable kit.
Pros:Plastic but solid, made a little vintage, light and compact, pastel colors, price of used
Cons:Bulky metal lampshade and not capable upside down.
Opinion:I bought this used but practically new lens from a Forum user, good sharpness and chromatic rendering. I still have to prove it well but the first impression was great. For now I highly recommend it. I bought it by reading the other reviews where it shows the somewhat vintage yield compared to the brother 85 1.8g and in fact I can only confirm this thing Moreover if found used but in perfect condition between 200 and 240eu you have done terno to the Lotto.
Opinion:I jumped back from the 85mm 1.8 G to this version D. I found everything I could not find in the G. Few chromatic aberrations, soft bokeh, open shadows, colors. I lost a flush of sharpness to 1.8 (irrelevant to both monitor and print). More accurate but noisy Autofocus. The Hood cannot be placed in the opposite direction. It is slightly heavier than the G but it is smaller, it seems to have attached a 50mm. I found what I was looking for, great.
Opinion:Extremely high performance optics even at full aperture... and I could already greet you here! Closing the diaphragm becomes amazing without going down heavy... and here it would take the second greeting. You will find points of weakness and to your amazement you won't see why the surrender is truly spectacular. Then you'll read reviews that emphasize a nervous and unpleasant fuzzy and looking at the photos obtained with this lens you ask: "But what are they talking about"? I think that the optics should be used and not measured and that the extreme brightness is always reached with many compromises that we pretend not to know and not see... so they correct in post production with a few simple clicks. With 300.00 euros, if in perfect condition, buy a spectacular optics that will accompany you for many years giving you lots of satisfactions. I recommend it, owning it from twenty years, then you do!
Cons:AF noisy (but generally not used to shoot video). The real problem is that they don't do it anymore...
Opinion:Bought used, paid a price more than just for the quality of this lens. For portraits it's phenomenal. More than adequate sharpness and chromatic dream rendition. Blurry very good. F 1.8 is fine. In my opinion for portraits under F 1.8 except for very special needs does not make sense, the depth of field becomes ridiculous. Instead today we run to those who have the smallest (the value of f...). Too bad they don't do any more lenses like that.
