    • Great lens
Style: Sony E-mount
Only had this lens for a few weeks but absolutely luv it. Its sharp and the bokeh is amazing. For the price you definitely can't beat it. Yes its manual focus but if you're not use to that trust me with a little practice you will nail it.

    • Good for the price
Style: Sony E-mount
This lens is pretty good. I am using this on the Sony A7 since there is no other native portrait lens currently available. The build quality is good for the price. It is sharp once stopped down past f2.8. Wide open there is some CA and slight softness. The softness may be desirable for some portraits. From what I see it is better performing overall than vintage slr glass. I have some Canon FD and Nikon glass and this is sharper wide open with less CA. Contrast is okay but obviously nothing like the premium Sony/Zeiss FE lenses. For $280 I'm impressed. ... show more

I wanted this lens for months and then finally snatched up a used one on here. Even at full price it is a great deal, even better when discounted. I have been using manual lenses for a couple years now so that is not a big deal to me. 85mm at f/1.4 is very challenging to get focused but f/2.8 or f/4 works great if you have the light for it. I use it mainly for cars, animals and I like to make panoramic shots with it. It has low chromatic aberration, very sharp, no vignetting, feels very solid, and is decently made. I suspect this lens has been around for years for the Canon and Nikon DSLR, and you can find those made by Samyang's other brands like Opteka and Bower. Throw them on an adapter and you might get the same result. But this lens has an E-mount spacer built in and works great. It is about 128mm on my a6000 so it is very tight in most cases. But it takes great portraits. I highly recommend it. ... show more

Style: Sony E-mount
Clear bright pictures. You have to focus manually but so what. Value is there and to be honest I had never heard of Samyang. They are Korean company and produce some very good glass. When used for portraits really sharp and clear with good color and no fringing as far as I can tell. Sony sells an 85mm for $1,700 , Samyang sells theirs for $300. As I don't use it that often, mostly use my 24-70mm, it is more of specialty lens and for the price it can't be beat. Also when I am taking portraits I have to check the lighting, amount of flash, illumination etc so I don't mind that it is manual. Also on the Sony they have focus peaking so really easy to get in focus if you have bad eye site and wear glasses like me. ... show more

    • Constantly causes "camera error"
Style: Sony E-mount
Unfortunately, I waited too long to actually take this lens out for a shoot. After every frame, I have to take out the battery to get the shutter to un-stick on my a7r III. Every shot. I NEVER encounter this issue with any other lens. I'd send it back but it's too late....Expensive paper weight....

    • Picture Quality Counts
Style: Sony E-mount
This is a solid lens with decent picture quality but requires a bit of post processing to benefit from the results.

It is a fine lens for the money, the picture goes a bit green but I consider that part of its character. Works just fine for photo and video. Build quality is good, is heavier than my other lenses but is very very bright. Bokeh is not perfect but which lens does?

    • Takes amazing pictures
Style: Sony E-mount
This is an amazing lens for the price. Granted it is a fully manual lens, however, that only challenges you as a photographer/videographer. I can definitively say that my eye has gotten better and I have learned to remain still. Investing in a good tripod also makes for a great cheat.
