Just purchased this lens. Just bought a Sony A7C. I do street photography and live between 35-50mm focal lengths. Other than doing street portraits I don Know how I’ll use this lens. I will have to take photos further away from my subjects than I’m use to. A few benefits of this lens are the size and weight. This lens is at the limits of the A7C. In addition, as you suggest, this lens is cheaper than the 85/1.4. Will take it to a carnival this weekend. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

I intend to spend the next year saving for a Sony A7iii and two lenses. An 85mm and a 24-70mm that I can use for wedding photography. Thanks for helping me decide what 85mm I will save for.

It is so good hearing the things you didn't like, it gives perspective on things that we might not necessarily think at first. Like if we knew the crop factor of the M50 was going to give such a drastic difference to the 50mm or 85mm, we probably would have not gotten the M50 but hey we live we learn! and we have you guys to bother with our questions :)

if your eye is set to a7Riii or a7Riv, I can definitely see the pic is on the softer side at 1.8 (definitely not crystal clear)....I would say buy this if you are just keeping a prime as a secondary lens...but if your bread and butter are this or if you are a serious enthusiast, which means you are anyway going to use 1.8 max all the time (cause you already have better 2.8 zoom lenses)....this is not the lens for you. I checked a lot of sample images, nothing is really impressive (guessing you have a7riii or a7riv, any lower end camera, this lens is great). Get the Samyung 85 1.4 (with the extender) or Sigma 85 1.4 (you have to correct the distortion in the post though). Cause after buying only thing matter is the image quality, not the value (I did the mistake ...don't fall for the "VALUE" review if you are a serious enthusiast).

Looks really sharp indeed. Did you edit any of these photos? The difference in price between the 1.4 and the 1.8 is crazy, even with other brands, and while some are worth, the difference in quality doesn't seem that huge
@RudyVisuals4 жыл бұрын
Yeah they were lightly edited with LR and PS but nothing major, just color correcting and touching up skin. For sure, when it comes to lenses, the law of diminishing returns definitely comes into play. From our experience something that is double the price of something else, it really doesn't mean it's twice as good. At least with camera equipment!

@claystudiofx3 жыл бұрын
@@RudyVisuals great, i’ll be waiting. Btw if you want to make comparison, in term of comparing with sony 85mm f1.8, there’s a negative key point of viltrox compared to sony (from some other review i saw) , so maybe you can also highight this test to confirm if it’s true : using eye focus on object/people moving toward camera, when it lost focus, it’s a bit slower to regain the focus back compared to sony. So when using burst shoot of someone walking toward camera, you may find more blurry frames in viltrox compared to sony. This is the only thing so far that viltrox lost to sony. Other than that, viltrox has same image quality, but better bokeh, better build quality, better price/value. Even at low light ,viltrox has better af speed.
@fredricolord8762 жыл бұрын
Is the 85mm a good lens to take full body portraits while maintaining a good bokeh? I have the sigma 30mm and it’s great for half body or facial portraits but I want a lens that can make up for full body portraits and small family shots with good bokeh.

It's hard to say. The sigma is a great lens and the 24-70 is going to be a lot more flexible. If you're planning on doing other types of photography other than portraits the 24-70 might be a better all around lens. But the 85mm is perfect for what it does and you can't go wrong with the price.
