Holy Snikeez! This Lens Performs-So Glad I Got it!
Since the Zeiss 85 and the Sony G Master 85 were so expensive I held out for almost a year. I used the excellent Sony Zeiss 55 1.8 for close up portraits. But eventually Sony put out the way more affordable 85 1.8. As soon as I got it (I was one of the first to order it) I was hooked!

This FE 85mm gets you better sharpness than the Batis and is 95% the quality ...
Been using Nikon for over 13 years, but finally sold all my gear and jumped on the Sony band wagon. This is one of the first lenses that I got. I am thoroughly impressed by the quality! Not just for the price, but at any price point, this lens is killer!

Love this little lens. It's much smaller than my Sony G Master 1.4 however, it is much quieter and a third of the price! The image quality is almost identical to it however, the bokeh is a little bit more cat-eye shaped.

Super Sharp!
One of the sharpest lenses I have ever used. A great focal length, especially for portrait photos!

Great low light performer
Bought this along with my A7R III. It is a solid lens and excellent Bokeh. I get great pictures even from fast moving toddlers and dogs. Even performs great on continuous shooting mode. The price point on this lens is the icing on the cake.

Unbelievable shots!!!!
I have got this lens a week ago. Were a little bit skeptical because of low price but was very surprised after very first shots. F 1.8 makes a huge differents combined how much light this lens can bring.

best bang for the buck!
i own the 35mm 1.4 Zeiss/Sony lens and this lens seems to be sharper, and that is saying a lot because the 35mm lens is known for its sharpness...and it's $1000 more. used it for a wedding (on the A7III on continuous focus) to shoot about 10 groups of people walking up the isle and it missed the...

Impressive image results
Having bought a A7 III, after changing from Nikon, I was looking for a prime lens that I didn't already have, taking into account using my existing lenses with a Commlite Nikon-Sony adapter. The 85mm F1.8 has given me impressive image results at an affordable cost.
