Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

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.

This lens is perfect for portrait with fast auto focus and it has f1.8 which performs very well in low light condition.

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.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Excellent lens. Thank you Sony.

By ewoodsphoto

It tackles the big three expected from a portrait lens. Good low light performance. Sharp in focus. Pleasing fall off and bokeh. Then it adds surprises. Dust and and water sealed. Fast and silent focus. Not a distraction and easy to take candid portraits. Also consistently accurate focus. Many keepers. Small and light. A benefit of this is that it does not scream, “Hey, I have a really expensive lens over here!”, which is a plus unless you want the attention that brings.

FE 85mm F1.8 - WOW

By rodriguesn84

85mm F1.8 compared to FE 85mm F1.4 you're not gonna find much difference, but a little. The lens is well built and it's got a little bit of weight to it, which I really love. The images that you can get from this lens is just so great, if you shoot in Manual like I do you're gonna love the results. If you're a serious photographer and you don't have one of this bad boys in your bag, you've gotta get one. The FE 85mm F1.8 is much cheaper than the FE 85mm F1.4 They both perform great, ...
