Pros & Cons
Pros
I bought these lenses with my own mony. Gm and the 85mm 1. Lense. The only downside of this one is the built quality.
The bokeh, if that is important to you, is fantastic, if a little octagon-shaped when you zoom way in. Very pleasing bokeh.
Focus throw is smooth. Auto focus is very responsive. Tried af on animals and people, never struggled.
It simply performs exceedingly well. It gives me a long reach with my a6400 (approx 127mm focal length) this lens it’s a great combo with the a7r iv!
Highlights
Quality
The lens feels robust as it is built with high quality metal/plastic.
I really love this lens the quality and the performance with this body is amazing
The first pic is without flash and the second one has flashso if you are looking for a lens with quality check this out.
8, it has horrible purple fringe at high contrast edges, and it is heavier- bought sony 85mm f1.
Price
Solid lens for the money, great for portraits.
This lens is amazing, especially for the price.
I don’t have $2500 to spend on a lens, so that a 85mm f1.
I truly feel like i wasted $900 because when i sold my 85 mm 1.
Shipping
Delivered on time, in great shape and so far does well in night and daytime shots.
They were not provided by sony, or loaned to me by sony, in hopes of generating any type of commission of youtube income.
My lens arrived without damage, but i worry about if someone orders and there is careless delivery drivers.
Packaging/appearance
The lens was in its sony box and that box was just put into a paper bubble mailer, not enough cushion.
Not even a padded envelope or a box!
My number one complaint is how this was packaged.
Competitiveness
Probably the most affordable g lens from sony, with excellent performance that can compare with g master lens.
Not as expensive as the gm version and just as great.
As sharp as gm lenses that cost 3-4 times as much!
However, the build quality is not bad by any means but not as good as the gm.
