Sony SEL85F18 85mm F/1.8-22 Medium-Telephoto Fixed Prime Camera Lens, Black

I use this lens mainly for street photography and find it great even wide open. Probably one of the best-value lens that I have in my collection. It is a lens that I would highly recommend

I recently purchased THIS LENSE, and I couldn't be more impressed with its quality and performance. Right out of the box, the build feels robust and well-engineered, which gives me confidence that it will withstand the rigors of regular use. One of the standout features is the optical quality. The images produced are incredibly sharp, with excellent contrast and vibrant colors. Whether I'm shooting landscapes, portraits, or macro photography, the lens consistently delivers stunning results. The bokeh is smooth and creamy, which adds a professional touch to my images. Another significant advantage is the lens’s low-light performance. It handles challenging lighting conditions remarkably well, producing clear, noise-free images even at wider apertures. This has opened up new creative possibilities for me, allowing for more dynamic shots without the need for excessive post-processing. Additionally, the autofocus is fast and accurate, making it a joy to use for both still photography and video. I’ve found that it tracks moving subjects exceptionally well, which is crucial for capturing those spontaneous moments. Overall, I highly recommend the [Lens Model] to anyone looking to elevate their photography. Its combination of build quality, optical performance, and versatility makes it a fantastic addition to any photographer’s toolkit.

First full frame prime lens , really pleased with the quality . Used to photograph my local rugby team last time

I bought this with the intention of using it for macro photography and it is proving useful for product photography. The clarity of a Sony prime lens is unmatched, in my opinion.

Bought this lens for portraits. Great results. Very happy with my choice.

One of the most affordable and sharpest lens ever.

I only purchased my Sony lens just over a week ago so I haunt yet had an opportunity to test it extensively. However, so far, it has produced pin sharp images, is light and compact and complements my Sony S7C II camera perfectly.

It’s a decent lens and the weight is good. But boy do you have to watch out for CA. Which is absolutely abysmal with this lens. It’s generally overpriced imo. First party you don’t have too many options.

I bought this to serve as a portrait lens for my alpha 6400, a handy camera for everyday photography. Good performance, light and easy to use.

I'm basically a wide angle guy, so when I got the new A7cII, I went with the 24 GM. But still, ya gotta have SOMETHING tele and I wanted something light, unobtrusive and fast handling. This is perfect, and the image quality is terrific. I'd get it again. No question.

Excellent quality optics for a great price. Robust with brilliant quality

Absolutely designed for head shots. The lens automatically priorities auto focusing on peoples eyes in extreme detail at high speed which makes beautiful images. The bokeh is sooth and automatic. Worth every penny and highly recommend

Simply amazing images sharp lens with beautiful boca

Sharp, light, tight. Great value, responsive, what's not to like?

Whilst all the publicity and lens reviews attention seems to be on the faster f1.4 lenses for the Sony FE Alpha system, this f1.8 lens is a gem and much more easy to handle due to its compact size and low weight when moving around taking portrait, sports or street photographs. The difference between f1.4 and f1.8 isn't that significant with modern camera sensors that can handle low light situations, whilst the images captured are very similar, so Sony is to be applauded for keeping an f1.8 85mm lens in its range - it would be great if it does the same for all its lenses (pro 1.8 versions of all its key focal lengths) as an original reason for going mirror-less was to save weight and size.

I found that with this lens taking landscapes the picture was really sharp. Also I realised I had to think what the subject of the photo was and so it has helped improve the look of the finished picture.

Only had the lenses a few weeks but well pleased would tell any one to buy

After moving to Sony from Nikon Z, this FE85mm lens was my first purchase and boy oh boy its pin sharp, along with the surperb eye AF on Sony cameras its a win win. Nice weight to the lens and the focus hold button can be reprogrammed for whatever you want ( i changed it to eye AF ) Fantastic weight, fantastic sharpness, fantastic price.. 10/10

Being new to Sony I have found the lens a pleasure to use.

Great picture quality but poor minimum focusing distance.
