Apologies for the mistake with the Sigma lens listing. It was meant to show the Sigma 85mm 1.4.

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.

Been deliberating a portrait lens for my brand new A7III and your video pretty much sealed the deal. I really like the bokeh pattern that this lens produces and the price is what I can afford right now.

amazing the bokeh this one makes. the photo and video shot with the model with the red dress is so beautiful!!

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 :)

So happy I found your channel! You are fantastic! Can't wait for more. The crisp images you get out of the 35mm make me appreciate mine even more.

gotta love the 85mm! I have been using my 85 for landscape, but with a close subject

Vietnam is one of the countries we admire the most when it comes to coronavirus! Happy you are safe there

Great Video as always Aaron! I've been meaning to get ahold of an 85mm for a long time and that f/1.8 makes everything look sooo good (:

Such an awesome, sharp lens! Hands down best bang for your buck! 💯

Always love how simple and straightforward your reviews are Aaron. The images look very sharp indeed. Would have liked to have seen a direct comparison between the Sony 1.4 and 1.8 though. Maybe something you could show us in the future? Great review anyways my friend.

Nice portraits in the intro. Agree with the 85mm f/1.8 Sony being a really nice portrait lens. BTW, I like your portraits best when your subject has her head tilted slightly forward...

Stunning photos! This lens looks amaaaazing!

85mm is a great focal length for portrait, and of course Prime lens! yeah!

Beautiful lens, beautiful images and beautiful models!

Amazing portrait work! You guys are my inspiration!

Just bought this lens for my A7R IV!

I missed your honest and exhaustive reviews!! we'd love to try this lens!

Thank you very much for your Review, it helped me a lot and maybe saved me a lot of money :)

Really enjoyed this review Aaron 👍

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).

Damn great shots guys. Seems like an awesome lens but at the same time you and wera's skills behind the camera helps a lot! Dude how's it like in Vietnam? Any videos coming soon from there?

Great video!! How does the lens perform at low light? I take a lot of portrait shots during sunset/night in the middle of a city. I’m hoping the blur/bokeh will still pop and look great!

Beautiful portrait photos and very interesting lens review. Greetings dear friends and thanks for sharing. Have a happy weekend. 👍

Great review. The photos look so amazing and the models are all beautiful! Hope you are staying safe in Vietnam 🙏

Very informative and useful review! Some stunning images here!

Sharp pics from the song 1.8!!! Compare to the canon 1.8 wow. Slightly bigger. ..that's a clean lens I would definitely pick this up for a Sony lens!!! Btw I like that Kaws Tshirt

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

Glad you are in Vietnam right now - great place to be!

beast for potrait :D - but gonna be tough for cinematic unless w gimbal

Odd that you were browsing the Sigma 12-24 on amazon. But yeah the sigma 85 ends up being twice the price of the sony. the 12-24 is almost 3 times! Crazy

here learning! Wonderful information! useful and well presented!

Have you ever compared with viltrox 85mm? Many review said it has same image quality but $200 cheaper so become best budget 85mm.

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.

Thank you for visiting Vietnam 😃

I like ur intro bro 😎

Now im trying to choose between tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 and sony 85mm f1.8. Which will you go for? Getting the sony a7 iii

I have this lens and it's fantastic.

Beautiful images of lovely women... I have the Sony 85mm f/1.8 lens and I love it! I am expecting my second Covid-19 Moderna vaccine shot in three days and two weeks after that I will feel confident enough to resume portrait photography again. Then the 85mm f/1.8 lens will live on my A7iii!

Hey there Aaron! hope you're doing well there! My dream to get a full-frame camera first! The bokeh is smexy!!

This lens is dust and moisture resistant for anyone wondering. From Sony; “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.”

the 85 for the sony is so much better than the canon one

That's it. You sold me the lens 😅

Amazing lens, so sharp with great bokeh effect, very good review.

Clean broll man!

insane even when you use it for cinematic the bokeh is fantastic, YOU GOT ROOFTOP POOL WHAT IS THIS XD

800 aud ish here in australia

From a price wise please, do you recomend it over the sigma 24-70 ... f 2.8 ?

This lens looks very sharp. I love those dresses too, is it the traditional style of vietnam?

Great review! Subscribed :)

£549 is a BUDGET lens?? Lmao I hate how expensive camera gear is...but wow these photos and videos look so good. I'm so jealous of the eye AF on sony cameras :'(
