Review Summary

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, ...

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.
ED glass for chromatic aberration compensation, a 9-blade circular aperture and carefully controlled spherical aberration contribute to superb sharpness and smooth bokeh.
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.
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.
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.
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..
