Pros: Lightness, boken and colours

Cons: Very chubby size, not optimal sharpness at full aperture

Opinion: Excellent portrait lens, with warm colors and pleasant boken, not very sharp at full aperture but improve considerably from 2.8 up to f 8.Very light all in all well built only drawback perhaps slightly large in diameter but all in all it is an 85 1.4 highly recommended to start with that focal length. On second-hand you are spoiled for choice if you find a copy in good condition and have it in your kit.

Pros: Weight quality price

Cons: Not very incisive - very slow autofocus

Opinion: Maybe the specimen in my possession has some problems but the autofocus seems to me very slow especially at TA with scars light. Little definition. Blurry of good level, soft and pasty, definitely not sharp and decisive. Right focal length for narrow portraits in the studio or outside. Less convincing indoors..... but I'm not an expert

Pros: Sharpness, AC, price, AF.

Cons: Yellow dominant.

Opinion: Specialized lenses, those that are rarely used unless you work in the field of expertise. Well, an 85 1.4 is a specialized lens and this is better than you can expect for anyone not specialized in the field of use, or wedding, portraiture. Even in that field we are on very high levels. I come from a 105 1.4 sold because ' precisely, it's fine the sharpness and brightness' , but carrying a large 105mm when a super tele 500mm precisely a specialty' not mine did not make sense. Never regret the gearbox, where the Samyang plays the part of the compact, always performing, for yield and autofocus. It often surprises me for the detachment, for the quality of the blurred and the absence of aberrations; probably the GM has that little extra in the blurred where he excels. EXCELLENT.

Pros: Price, yield, autofocus, weight

Cons: Yellow dominant, lack of keys, coating

Opinion: Excellent 85mm, already very sharp all open but that becomes really sharp from f / 2 onwards. The autofocus is great, fast and quiet. it is a light lens, considering the competition, even if a more voluminous hair. The quality/price ratio is at the top, it places it at the top of the market in this respect. Nice blurred. However, it brings with it some flaws: the photos have a yellow dominant, correctable in post. The lens has no key other than the manual focus ring and the painted metal barrel scratches quite easily. The hood is made of very cheap plastic, as is the cap. A bit annoying that Samyang sells separately the dck for updates (which costs 45-50€). Finally, the minimum focusing distance is 90 cm, higher than the competition.

Pros: Weight, Price, Autofocus

Cons: Colour rendering, backlight

Opinion: Budget lens that shows all its flaws when shooting against the light. Its biggest flaw, however, is related to the color rendering really far from the sigma art and sony GM series (which I use to work), the colors too warm and with magenta dominants are correctable in post, but require a waste of time that produces unacceptable slowdowns for my workflow. Definitely recommended for amateurs who do not have great pretensions, lens however light and of good workmanship. For professionals or those who want a higher quality lens I recommend the new sigma art or the Sony GM
