Pros: Autofocus, sharpness, weight.

Cons: Price but it is a GM II, bought for 1550 euros from RCE.

Opinion: Taken in February, I have already done several shootings and I must say that this is the 85 I wanted, the autofocus is lightning fast, it does not detach from the subject, it does not feel in the hand and the weight is well balanced, the sharpness is excellent from edge to edge even at F1.4, I have never seen a lens like this. The blur has a beautiful soft progression, almost like the Sigma, in some cases, however, where there is a lot of contrast it tends to be slightly harder, so if I had to say that there is something that could be improved it is the blur, but by a little, for all other points it wins hands down with any other 85mm lens. In my opinion, here it borders on perfection.

Pros: Sharpness, focusing and locking speed, blurry, quite light and compact.

Cons: Maybe the price even if it costs less than the one suggested on juza, I got it at 1850€ and it's the price that a couple of shops have made me.

Opinion: Taken yesterday, I'm still trying it but I must say that it is really good, it returns excellent images, correct colors (on A7r5) and pleasant. It hooks the eye instantly and does not lose it, I don't see any chromatic abbreviations and if there are they are really ridiculous, very nice blur, circular points of light and without onion effect, perhaps a hint of F4. I reserve the right to change my opinion by doing other tests but I don't think I will change it.

Pros: Lightweight, compact, lightning-fast and accurate autofocus, GM standard construction

Cons: Price a bit high, probably it will go down later, it's not an f/1.2

Opinion: Compared to the previous 85 GM it is obviously lighter and more compact. The AF is silent, fast and very precise. Very good image quality very sharp, bokeh as expected very nice. There are some images that you can see in my gallery dedicated to this lens, but they are more than anything else street/travel images. https://www.juzaphoto.com/me.php?pg=358186&l=it Thank you
