I've been using it for last a couple of months. Worth it. Price is very very good. Must have. Love to see your another review. Thanks~!

@ALxdCr4ftPlays 4 года назад

I'm planning on getting the Sony a6600 soon and will use it for videoing important events and holiday trips. Sony NZ sells it for NZ$2,400 and the lens in this video is for NZ$1,000. Expensive kit but I want to be happy with a good camera for the next 10 years. May explore other lens options first. Plan to get my camera by June.

@ALxdCr4ftPlays 4 года назад

Was considering the A7 III but that's over NZ$3,000 for the body only. The lens in this video looks promising. The lens needs to have stabilization for 4k videos and AF and be good with night time shooting too. Sony is expensive but Sony pride themselves on quality which is what I like.

@ZoltanUszta 6 лет назад

Thx for the review, it reflects my impressions! I'm using this lens for horse jumping and dressage photography on my A6300 for a few month - it has a perfect reach from the side of a normal sized track. I needed a fast lens (typical expo time is 1/1000 sec or less), the 1670z has been a bit slow and less sharp, the sel50 has been a bit short and I could not justify spending on GM glass. One thing I've noticed: it might lose quite a bit of contrast when using wide open and slightly facing to the sun.

I'm still waiting for this comparison to see if it's worth replacing my Sigma 56mm depending on how much of a difference is in the background between the two.

@saifaldin_ 3 года назад

I have both lenses; but if i can keep only one, it’ll be the 56mm. Smaller, lighter, and better performance across the aperture range. The 85mm still very good, though.. just not as good on aps-c bodies compared to full frame.

@chriskaufman4394 6 лет назад

Got it. I used it today (on my a6500) in a video. The focal length was great. It is a great lens to fill the focal length range. I have the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 (love it) and the Sony SEL35mm f/1.8. Also, the Sony FE 85mm F/1.8 (also full frame) I'm starting to leverage lenses towards a future a7III purchase. Why not? Still, the a6500 is my body for now.

@01thiefraccoon 6 лет назад

I love love this lens too! Super sharp, fast focus, relatively small for FE, focus hold and autofocus toggle all for ~$600. This is pretty much the default lens on my a7r iii. It's mainly used for street photography and taking pictures of my cats. The 80cm minimum focusing distance does make it unwieldy to use indoors, but I believe that's par for the course for 85mm focal length. ...I used to use a6000 and a6500, but the lack of fast zoom (like you mentioned in your tamron zoom video) forced me move away from Sony aps-C, even though I did love the a6xxx bodies. Sure wish Sony would make more lenses similar to the value of 85mm f1.8. Imagine if sony had affordable quality 24mm 35mm 50mm primes!

@Kutkis 6 лет назад

Its a different focal length. No point for comparison

@MeAMuse 6 лет назад

Not really worth a comparison on crop. The biggest difference is the focal length. 85mm on a crop body is going to be very long for working with a subject. Most portrait photographers like to work at 85mm - 105mm as it gets them a pretty good compression while being at a workable distance. You heard him saying that you can't really use it inside... that because 130mm is just not super practical. There is more to photography than image quality...

@devonlarocque8982 6 лет назад

@XtoGTA 6 лет назад

Thanks for the review, I was really waiting for this one! How far would you say you have to stand using an APS-C for a shot like the one in 4:03? I am curious because I plan on buying this and shoot in extremely crowded places (Shibuya for example) and I am afraid that having to stand way too far would make the shooting session kind of chaotic.

@ArthurR 6 лет назад

I would estimate 20 feet away. Outside, it really isnt that bad - unless you are trying to get a head-to-toe shot.

@XtoGTA 6 лет назад

Thanks for the reply! I think that would be quite a stretch in APS-C then. Maybe when I can grab a full-frame. Shibuya's crossing has around 2000 people every green light, so 20ft without anyone interrupting would be quite a hard task. Keep it up, great video as always!

@dtj41 6 лет назад

Love the videos man; you're one of the reasons I have the Sony 35 1.8 and the Sigma 16 1.4. Unfortunately because I started photography using primes, zooms just don't seem to cut it - they just don't have that je ne sais quoi. I rented the new 18-135 recently and was really underwhelmed. Do you think this lens would be well-suited as a general long lens? I enjoy taking really candid street photos, and often you just can't get that unless the subject isn't aware of you. However, I also occasionally need a good long lens for landscape-style stuff. Thoughts?

I have had this lens for 6+ months. It has become my favorite lens. I have an A6500, an A7Rii, and an A7iii. I really like it better for portraits on the full frame, but I use it on the 6500 for photos and video often. It's so sharp!! I also have the 24-70 G-MASTER and I use this lens far more for portraits. I shot some senior pictures, graduation pictures, and prom pictures for clients during this end of the school year season, and while it was not the only lens I used, the pictures I got from it were perfect in every shoot I did. I almost bought the G-Master 85, but read several reviews of this lens and decided to try it as it is over $1000 cheaper. I am not disappointed in the least! It is the best lens for the money I've ever used. Great job.. and keep the videos coming.

@AgnostosGnostos 4 года назад

According to DXOMARK website this lens is as sharp as the more expensive Sony Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 which has similar sharpness to the very very expensive manual focus Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 lens. Actually the Sony 85mm f/1.8 is significantly sharper than the much more expensive but brighter Sony 85mm f/1.4 GMaster. Of course the difference between f/1.8 and f/1.4 is highly important for many photographers. The truth is that many premium Sony full frame lenses are not smaller and lighter than similar full frame lenses for dSLR cameras. This lens alongside with the Sony 12-24mm f/4 are some from the few exceptions. The Sony Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 and the Sony 85mm f/1.8 are great choices for those who are interested to invest in the future, on the Sony a7R IV with 60MP. More megapixels always demand very sharp lenses. Contrary to many beliefs, most full frame lenses lose their sharpness and contrast when their are used on APS-C cameras. The Sony 85mm f/1.8 has a such great optically that can be used with great results on APS-C e-mount cameras. Finally from the lineup of Sony full frame e-mount lenses, the 85mm f/1.8 has the best value for money without doubt. A great choice after the default kit lens for amateurs interested in portrait photography.

@richardpcrowe 5 лет назад

I was using a Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 on my A6500 with the MC-11 adapter and really liked the focal length. However, this lens (not needing an adapter) is lighter in weight than the Canon + MC-11 combination. The AF is a lot better also and I have all of the Sony AF parameters available. Additionally, I just love the focus hold button which I reprogrammed to Eye AF. This is, IMO, a pretty perfect portrait lens as you mention in your title. I am glad that you included images of your beautiful wife, This lens really flatters her great looks. I can see that this lens will become one of my favorite lenses for the A6500 and any other Sony mirrorless camera I will get in the future,

Minhaj Malik, you are right. The 1.4 Sigma lenses seem to be great but without the 6500 and for video I would go for the stabilized Sony lenses. What a pity! The price for the 6500 is a shame compared to the 6300 and even worse compared to the A7III.

You would think, but apparently from what lens experts say, for optimum optical performance you should be using the entire lens, giving you maximum so-called "lines of resolution."

I love your reviews, I’m planning on purchasing this l Lands before my little vacation. Thank you for the awesome reviews.

@JetBen555 5 лет назад

I hope you can do a review of the Zeiss Batis 135mm f2.8 or the 85mm 1.8 ^^ they both have OSS too! I wonder how they perform on Crop sensor!

@drcstudios 6 лет назад

What wrist strap do you have mounted on there, if you don't mind me asking... thanks!

@robertcudlipp3426 5 лет назад

For a good deal of portrait work, certainly indoors, why not try the excellent, but expensive, Sony 55 .18 ZA?

@iwanhaniyoto 6 лет назад

Wow! 85mm is very amazing for portrait or bokeh. Please do a compare with 35mm and 50mm. Yes, i think this lens have a great and creamy bokeh, but with this focal length only usable at outdoor portrait photos.

@vinhdo1609 6 лет назад

i can just say dont use 85mm on APSC camera like A6xx . it will be huge problems with the focal length

@iwanhaniyoto 6 лет назад

Yeah, this will be like a 120mm lens, like a telephoto portrait lens. Ha ha ha...

Hello arthur! Not sure if you will notice this since its a very old video. But would you recommend thos lens over sigma 56 for sony apsc? What dosadvantage will the sony 85 1.8 have over sigma 56 1.4, besides price. I am okay woth price and even size and weight of both lenses, and i wosh to buy gear that should last me years. Sony os already quite old i see, is that a disadvantage?please throw some light. Thanks!!

@clsutherland331 6 лет назад

Another great review...my only question is...does your wife realize you picked up this lens because you've already decided to purchase the Sony A7III you reviewed recently? (Too slick...)

@ArthurR 6 лет назад

Lol sneaky!

@mudgie069 6 лет назад

Technically it has a field of view of 127.5mm ;) Nice review. Had this lens but sold it and bought the Samyang/Rockinon 85mm f/1.4 purely as it's not a lens I use often and I wanted the extra light. It is a great lens.

@MustDoCanada 3 года назад

Would you say the 90mm Macro is close? We want a macro so I'm wondering if it does both. Then again, we have a crop so I guies it would become like a 130?

@TheRedSatan10 5 лет назад

tried to find reasons not to like some of your videos.i failed.

@Bob-Campbell 6 лет назад

Thank you. I was one of those that asked you to do this review. I had the Canon 85 1.8 before and it was my favorite lens in that system. I will definitely be picking this one up within the next month. I want the Sigma 16 too but that's going to have to wait. I do way more portraiture.

@maverickrodriguez7213 6 лет назад

@technologymafia so i have a question. Since you tested already the 18-135mm how is the sharpness compared to the 85 fe 1.8? I understand the bokeh will be better but sharpness wise. Thanks!!

@ArthurR 6 лет назад

The 85mm will blow it away in sharpness. The 18-135mm is a good walkaround lens, but it will not be as sharp as a great prime at any specific focal length. I did a comparison between the 18-105 and the 35mm from Sony, and the difference was HUGE. This 85mm is even sharper than the Sony 35.

@maverickrodriguez7213 6 лет назад

TechnologyMafia i see, thanks!!

@studioRV1115 6 лет назад

since i got that lens, i never use my 50mm, planning in selling the 50mm now

@ChrisParayno 4 года назад

on a crop, the 85 makes it makes the subject look that much more "better" I feel over the 50.

@MasticinaAkicta 6 лет назад

I love this lens, so light, relatively small, well priced and such good image quality. Ah... worth owning! Now I just need a bigger camera bag so it is always with me! I really need a camera bag that allows me to have a 35mm 50mm and 85mm with me.

Dollar for dollar the best full frame prime on the market right now in my opinion.

@ImadogGarcia 6 лет назад

Why use a tripod when stabilisation is missing? You can choose a faster shutterspeed at day easily

@kappamikez6478 6 лет назад

While it is okay to increase the shutter speed to compensate the lack of lens stabilisation for photos/stills, faster shutter speeds will introduce jitters that video shooters don't really want. That's why in order to get smooth, professional looking videos without the help of lens or in body stabilisation, you need the help of other tools to stabilize the camera such as tripods or gimbals.

I have configured my A6500 so that the focus hold button initiates Eye-AG and on the A6400 I programmed the focus hold button to initiate AF. This is easier for me than back button AF.

@mitchellkenji 6 лет назад

Lens is so fun to use. Have this mounted on my 6300. Since buying it my 50mm 1.8 has been left in the bag more often. Which is sad cause I love the 50mm. Would totally love to see your thoughts on both the 50 and 85. Might as well throw in that 30mm 1.4 for a sharpness test since all 3 are tac sharp. The “holy trinity” for the Sony crop sensors.

@ArthurR 6 лет назад

You cant say holy trinity without the Sigma 16mm! :)

@mitchellkenji 6 лет назад

In that case. Would love to see the holy "fournity" of (affordable) sony prime lenses.

@shreyansbaldota4962 5 лет назад

Is it compartable to sony a6300 ...?

@TideShot 4 года назад

yes.

@yoonkimin1232 6 лет назад

This video shoothe me, because I have a 50mm 1.8 lens BUT I have an apsc dslr so it becomes an equivalent to 85mm focal length 😂

@LucaAntonioPiga 5 лет назад

Hey, do you suggest this lens for sport photography with a6300?

@Cory.S 6 лет назад

This lens has definitely been on my mind, thanks for the video! What lens do you have now in total? Maybe an idea for a video ;)

@na2abam751 Месяц назад

Finally I found the video that I have been looking for which is the combination of this lense( a lense that is designed for full frame cameras) with APS-C cameras. Thank you! I bought it few days ago and I'm using it with my sony A6100 camera. I love it!

@joaopauloferreira2585 6 лет назад

Thanks for the great review! I did like the fact that you displayed night/low light samples. keep the good work!

@heyarnoldce 6 лет назад

How does this compare to the Opteka 85mm 1.8? (besides the autofocus)

@mustypipes6602 6 лет назад

Own this lens on my a7r3, by far this is the best value for money lens vs sony's equivalent costing around 1300 dollars which only gives a bit better bokeh then this lens which i payed 549 at the time is a winner. If you need a portrait lens skip the g get this and save the dough.

@vidalzinho1 6 лет назад

My favourite lens so far for the a6000 and a7❤️

@rianapienaar2090 2 года назад

Please do a comparison between this and Sigma 56mm. On aps-c. I have the 85 but just got me the Sony 90mm macro. Not sure if it’s wise to sell the Sony 85 for the Sigma 56.
