I own the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8, so wasn't sure this was a necessary addition. I also heard some complaints about the autofocus noise. But after seeing some amazing sample images, I decided to give it a try. As with the Sony 24-70 f/2.8 GM lens, image quality of the 85mm GM is incredible. Amazingly sharp and beautiful rendering. Two questions that can come up: 1. Is the autofocus noise a problem? In my opinion, no, absolutely not. Based on some other comments, I was expecting something loud and distracting. You can hear it, but it just sounds like a somewhat-louder-than-average autofocus system. I don't think it would have ever occurred to me to be concerned about it. 2. How does it compare to the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8? In overall quality, the two are very close. Both produce exceptionally beautiful images. The Batis is smaller and the autofocus is whisper silent. The colors on the Batis are more bluish, but that's easily adjusted in editing. It has image stabilization, but that's not as critical on Sony cameras as the body itself is stabilized. It's also $600 less than the GM. You will not be disappointed with the Batis. That said, the Sony 85mm GM is the choice if you want the absolute best prime the system has to offer. I've been in a lot of situations where the extra light from an f/1.4 lens makes a difference. The aperture ring is really nice. The GM has 11 aperture blades instead of 9 on the Batis, which makes for nicer out-of-focus effects. For portraits, I prefer the warmer colors before editing. And to my eye, it is sharper than the Batis. Cannot recommend this lens highly enough. It's a reason to own a Sony a7 series camera.

Ok so first off, I’ve been shooting with a canon t2i and 85mm1.8 lens for 6 years. I just upgraded to the a7iii a few months ago and wanted a new 85mm lens for it so I ordered this one. When it arrived, it was a lot bigger and a lot heavier than I expected it to be. But once I started using it....this thing blew my mind! It’s incredibly sharp, the bokeh is buttery smooth, and the overall image quality is amazing on this lens! When i autofocus, I do hear a little noise coming from the lens but I only notice it when I’m in a super quiet environment (like my bedroom or something) but once I’m out in the real world (on location or in studio), the noise becomes non existent. The noise only sounds loud because it’s close to your ears when you’re holding the camera to your eye, but people around you won’t even notice it, trust me. So if you’re looking for an 85mm lens, and you don’t mind it being big and heavy with a little focus noise, and the price, I’d recommend this one! It’s worth the money!

As the goods for this lens are well known I will only focus on not so goods for this lens. ON BOKEH So... this is a portrait lens that is meant to have excellent bokeh. However, the bokeh is not top notch. Yes, it is circular enough in the central area and it even does not have as nervous onion ring pattern typical for other Sony lenses like SEL2470F28GM. But as you get to the edges and corners the bokeh gets squashed (not circular anymore) and starts to get a tad nervous inside. There are two lessons from this: 1) Sony has not fully nailed the bokeh across the frame. 2) When shooting make sure that you do not have anything just off focus near the edges and in the corners - either in focus or totally out of focus. That way you will make sure bokeh issues do not spoil your picture. ON OPTICAL STABILIZATION I understand that this is meant to be portrait lens and for portraits one is not likely to use too slow shutter speed. But... This lens may also be good in hand held photography in darker conditions and would have benefited from optical stabilization like is present on 90mm F2.8 and 70-200mm F2.8 lenses. 85mm focal distance is long enough for optical stabilization being more effective than on-sensor one and complementing the on-sensor one well. ATTACHED IMAGES 1) Demonstration of bokeh circles. Look at how bokeh gets squashed in the corners and at the edges - it is no longer circular. 2) Extreme corner bokeh. This is just a corner cut of an image that demonstrates well that bokeh is not circular in the corners. Same is true about the extreme edges.
