Highlights
Quality
Super fast focus, and superlative image quality.
This was a good iteration of sony's 85.
4 gm1, it is everything they've marketed it to be.
8 for 6 years and hesitated upgrading to the 1.
Price
4, feeling the extra speed was not worth the price/weight.
Competitiveness
If you're just shooting portraits though, and don't require that speed, you can certainly find other options that are nicer to your wallet.
2 out there, there's probably not a better 85 1.

However if you dont need to max out on all of these sharpness weight af speed then there are decent options out there

For my use case sports i wanted an 85 that could match the speed of 30 or 60fps on the a9iii whilst as wide an aperture as possible for typically not so well lit gyms
