Thanks for reviewing alternative lenses for Sony FE cameras. It's great to see brands like Yongyuo, Viltrox, Samyang and others catch up to Sony, Sigma and Tamron image quality but at a more affordable price point for budget conscious photographers/videographers. Sharpness is definitely important to me and I do use DXO scores as reference prior to buying a new lens. Not many, if any, KZfaq camera reviewers reference DXO enough so props to you for being one of the first or few who does.

@nogerboher5266 4 ай бұрын

When you're buying new lenses, just remember people; ''Sharpest'' does not mean ''best image quality.'' All these lens characteristics like sharpness, CA and so on, don't mean anything when it comes to overall image quality of a lens. Hasselblad for example has been making the best lenses in the entire market for over 150 years now and their lenses were never ''the sharpest!'' or had the ''best CA performance!'' and yet the image quality of photos taken with their cameras and lenses was always unmatched for not decades but almost two centuries... CENTURIES! Consumer grade manufacturers are chasing ''sharpness'' and ''eye af'' and other nonsense, while manufacturers like Hasselblad, Phase One, Angenieux, Cooke, Panavision, Leica, Zeiss and so on and so forth, have never had supreme sharpness lenses and yet their lenses always had legendary status image quality, well above the consumer grade manufacturers. Don't get fooled by marketing nonsense and buy quality products if you want your images to actually look good and not just be sharp.

Super cool that you shared the shy part. I share your non-traditional approach to street photography, sometimes shooting w 200mm! Thanks for your videos - they really are excellent and quite polished. One shiny bit of polish you could add is saying "Youngnou sent the lens to me" instead of "Youngnow sent the lens to myself". Myself is the reflexive, meaning you have to have started the sentence with the word "I". I gave this lens to myself because I am a good person. She gave this lens to herself. Thanks again for your contribution, Mark!

I love my 90mm macro lens. Autofocus is not an issue for me in photography specially portraits with good light (specially when you use focus limiter). I actually want to get one 85 1.8 to make my gear lighter/compact, but it's hard for me to replace this macro lens as most of the time it the only one attached to my cam. Reason- with this we always have the option to go close or use it as a macro lens.

Sonys GM line of lenses was literally invented because of Zeiss and most GM lenses were made by zeiss manufacturing standards, that sony legally stole from zeiss when they were under the partnership contract, which expired in 2019. thats why you wont see any more zeiss lenses for sony and probably for any camera ever again. all sonys fault. anyway, that said, most sony GM lenses have the ''3d pop'' or whatever you want to call that look, including all of the ZA lenses and even some cheaper lenses like the 2016 version of the 50mm 1.8 and the newest version of the 35mm 1.8.

How is the AF in low light? 3rd party lenses tend to have more issues vs native in this case and all reviewers do the test in well light conditions.

Is this going to retire your Sigma 56mm f1.4 lens for street photography? I recently used the 85mm Sony lens (on my a6700) you held up at a Jefferson Starship concert at Yaamava Casino in San Bernardino, where it only snows in the mountains. It was not wide enough nor long enough. Wish there was a medium middle of the road zoom, about 50 to 100mm at f1.8. And this is where I get off on the A7CR as the magic camera. If I had that FF body, I could have gotten the whole scene and been able to zoom in via cropping. After what you said about the A7CR, I realized it is the Magic Camera. Nothing like it, except the A7R5.

Tom Colton on here on youtube did an extensive comparison of the various brands of 85 1.8 on the Sony E mount, the short story is, the competition for best 85 1.8 were between Sony, Viltrox, Tokina, and Yongnuo at the bottom because of the af issues. I decided to get the Tokina because it autofocus on par with Sony an no autofocus issues at all, was actually a tad sharper than Sony, and at 350 USD, it was a bargain.

there have been a lot of updates to the Yongnuo so it's autofocus works great now - I haven't tested the Tokina - I should get one in!!

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis So many cine lenses go up to 150 and above?! A complete set of Arri Master primes would be great, but one problem: I don't want to sell my organs 🙂. Right now I got the Firin 20, the inexpensive Sony 50 1,8 and want to slowly build up prime lenses, that also work well with the a7s3 when I'm doing video work. I'm a ''hybrid one man show''- shooter, so all lenses need to work in both applications. Mainly doing fotos, and with my trusted D850, but for video or when I just want a small bag I take the Sony - sometimes with Ronin RS3 and Sennheiser MKE600 or for interviews and such Sennheiser wireless with tascam 4 channel DR70... This seems like a very good choice for the 85 range. Thanks again
