Great Portrait Lens
I consider photography as a hobby and do not do it professionally. I purchased this lens because it is a Native lens to the Sony System and learned it was good for portraits. Although this is a Full Frame camera lens, I use it on my Sony A6100 APS-C camera. I have achieved great portraits and wonderful bokeh. I'm still experimenting with portraiture picture taking but I can say I am really happy with the results so far.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Small lightweight "ok" lens
It's a small and lightweight lens for 85mm f1.8. The copy I got however had a lot of chromatic aberrations (magenta tint) around all edges, from corner to corner and was relatively soft in the corners. It's not a "bad" lens, but even stopped down at f4, those issues persist. For some shooters, I am sure they won't see a difference, but for my applications, it was just not practical.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

light and works well -I was happy to buy it used
- it makes it a much better value .. however, im still not used to the way the focusing works on this - it is tuned to autofocus in a jiffy - the manual focus seems to jump into place .. i havnt got the hang of it yet ... the OLED display is nice - though i havent had a chance to make use of it shooting any video yet ..Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

SONY FE 85MM F-1.8
Sony 85mm f1.8 is affordable, Pics are sharp,crisp and bokeh is cream .In short telephoto range of prime lenses this is the best prime lens for its price.Very light and durable, It is not weather sealed.It performs well in dim light and indoor -outdoor portraiture photography. BE AWARE on EBAY some sellers from other countries are HIKING up the price . If you have patience you can find a very good deal on a new one on ebay within a week or two. Best lens should be in every sony e mount full frame shooters arsenal.

Sharp, light, and fast
Great portrait lens that communicates perfectly with my Sony A7ii. Great focusing speed, not too loud, and not very heavy or cumbersome. Fun focal length!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Love this lens!
I am extremely impressed with the sharpness and bokeh of the Sony 85mm 1.8. It's fast to focus and has a nice weight/handfeel. Image quality is great with the Sony A7rii~ I would definitely recommend!!

Can't go wrong.
This is an incredible lens. It may not be the sharpest lens I now own, but it produces more reliable shots throughout the frame. I also recently got the Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 and while the Tamron is sharper throughout the zoom range, it produces some blown colors off center which can be corrected later. This lens is just perfect all the way and super fast focusing on my second hand Sony a7s ii. The fact that the 85mm is much more compact than the Tamron is also a plus although not as versatile (not being a zoom). Also for night photography having a fast lens is a huge plus.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great portrait lens!
Fast AF both for stills and video, sharp with good color rendering. Works great with my A7III although it suffers from banding under certain artificial lighting scenarios. Lightweight and pleasing bokeh in the center with cat's eye shape near the edges. 1.8 aperture is more than enough for a nice compressed background and great subject separation. Excellent lens!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
