Questions & Answers
Shopper : Is the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art lens worth buying over the Sony 85mm f/1.8? Especially if someone interested in starting to do portrait photography professional?
Rohan W : Can this be used on a Sony A6400?JUSTIN F : Yes, but it will be super "zoomed in".MARCO P : Yes, it can. It will be equivalent to 134mm.RICHARD G : Yes this works great on my 6000
Shopper : Is it good for macro on an a6300?WILFORD R : I'd have to say no. If I recall the minimum focus distance is just over 2.5 feet; in my opinion that puts it out of "macro" range. It's a fairly sharp lens for general purpose use or portraiture but for that kind of close-up clarity and detail required from macro, I think you'd fair better with a true macro.

A nice little lens kit
A great little starter lens and kit. It's a solid basic "clean" lens. It shoots clearly and is a solid entry level Sony lens. And it works just fine for what it is with my Alpha a7RV even at high resolution. I purchased it for street photography because I didn't want to worry about damaging a GM lens. The rest of the kit is based on solid house branded and branded products. And all of them work well. The best part of this kit is obviously the price. Buy a lens, and you basically get the rest for free. Thanks Adorama!

Amazing value
Just received this lens 2 days ago but absolutely love it so far. I had a Tamron 28-75 and this lens is definitely sharper.

Great overall, much cheaper than competing 85s
Fast and reliable focusing, feels light (and much lighter than competing 1.4 lenses). While I have not tested quality vs. competing 85 1.4 lenses, this handles great and is much cheaper, so I feel like I made a good call by saving money and going for this lens.

Highly recommend
I?ve been getting excellent results, especially for sit-down interviews in cramped spaces. Makes the subject pop with a very pleasing soft background. Highly recommend.

Sony FE 85mm F 1.8 Lens
The lens is great! Perfect condition and the Bokeh is great! F 1.8 85 mm = perfect focal length and perfect depth of field with great low life performance.

Great lens, awesome Kit
Purchased this lens for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift, we decided to open one gift early and she chose the box with this lens in it, she absolutely loves it, did not put her camera down for two days. Images are sharp and with the included filters, taking photos in the sun was easy. She got blue skies and vibrant colors while achieving Bokeh without the need for additional reflectors when taking test photos of me. I?m dark skin by the way, if you?re deciding between this and the G Master, you can?t go wrong with this purchase unless you absolutely need the extra stop that the G master gives you.

Great bang for your buck.
I love this lens. Super sharp, lightweight. Throw this and the 35mm, F2.8 Zeiss in your bag and you can tackle a ton of shooting scenarios and still have a lighter bag than a single f2.8 zoom in the same range.

Sony FE 85m F1.8 with Sony A7Rii
I was looking for a sharp lens for a beach photo shoot in overcast weather, the Sony FE 85mm performed perfectly. Shot with a Sony A7rII the detail was superb, even when cropped.

As other reviewers have written, this is an amazing lens. Small, well built, solid and it takes amazing pictures. It demonstrates that you don't need a G lens to have quality.

About Sony 85mm F1.8
PRO REVIEW by Jesse Rinka, Wedding and Portrait Photographer
"The Sony 85mm 1.8 lens is one of my most used lenses whether I’m photographing weddings or portraits. It’s affordable, compact, lightweight, quick to focus and offers pleasing bokeh at wide open apertures. What more do you need in a portrait lens? I love to pair it with either the Sony A9 or A7iii. If you love the 85mm focal length as much as I do, then I highly recommend purchasing this lens. You’ll love the results!"
Portrait-perfect sharpness and bokeh
There's nothing like the sharpness and smooth bokeh of a well-designed mid-range telephoto prime lens for portraiture, and the Sony FE 85mm E Mount Lens is a standout choice. It features a compact, lightweight design for mobility, with high-performance optics and a large F1.8 maximum aperture that deliver outstanding image quality. An excellent second lens for both full-frame and APS-C camera users.
Fine prime-lens performance
ED glass for chromatic aberration compensation, a 9-blade circular aperture and carefully controlled spherical aberration contribute to superb sharpness and smooth bokeh.
Mobile and manageable
A compact, lightweight (371 g, 13.1 oz) design that is ideally matched to the α7 series offers a great blend of portability and high image quality for portraits, events and more.
Quiet, precise focus drive
A double linear motor system directly drives the lens's focus mechanism without intervening gears for precise, quiet operation that is ideal for movies as well as stills.
Quality build, versatile features
A customizable focus hold button can be assigned to other functions such as Eye AF, for example, while a wide, responsive focus ring offers improved manual focus comfort and precision. A dust- and moisture-resistant design plus other refinements add up to outstanding quality and photographic versatility.
Reliable in challenging conditions
A sealed dust- and moisture-resistant design provides extra protection and ensures reliable operation in challenging environments. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions..
Warranty Information
This product has a limited warranty of 12 months for parts and 3 months for labor.
