Bought this along with my A7R III. It is a solid lens and excellent Bokeh. I get great pictures even from fast moving toddlers and dogs. Even performs great on continuous shooting mode. The price point on this lens is the icing on the cake.

Since the Zeiss 85 and the Sony G Master 85 were so expensive I held out for almost a year. I used the excellent Sony Zeiss 55 1.8 for close up portraits. But eventually Sony put out the way more affordable 85 1.8. As soon as I got it (I was one of the first to order it) I was hooked!

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

The Sony FE 85mm f1.8 is a short-telephoto prime lens for Sony's mirrorless cameras, and corrected for use on full-frame bodies. Also known as the SEL85F18, the FE 85mm f1.8 was launched in February 2017 as an affordable and light-weight portrait prime lens, at least compared to the high-end FE 85mm...

Only the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so the overall length of the lens does not change when focusing. This is especially important when using for video recording. Other important benefits include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance.

Sony introduces the FE 85mm f/1.8 lens, a lower cost option for the full frame FE series. This new lens is suitable for the A7 series of full frame mirrorless cameras, and of course can also be employed on the APS-C models, where it gives a "35mm format" equivalent of 127.5mm.

Recently we reviewed the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 - as it turned out it's quite an awesome lens. However, the Zeiss lens isn't alone in its quest - it has a couple of Sony mates. There's the insanely expensive 85mm f/1.4 GM and a more mainstream option which we'll discuss here - the Sony FE 85mm...

To sum up we are happy Sony added a good quality instrument to their line-up which is also within financial reach of amateurs and less affluent professionals. I think if you decide to buy it you will enjoy it very much.

solid, sealed mechanical construction,, excellent image quality in the frame centre,, sensible image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,, low longitudinal chromatic aberration,, moderate lateral chromatic aberration,, lack of problems with spherical aberration,, negligible distortion,, slight...

image quality near the maximum relative aperture could have been a bit better,, significant vignetting on full frame.

The very fact that the Sony SEL85F18 85mm F/1.8-22 comes with AM/MF switch was the top reason we had to include it on this list. This allows users to easily switch between autofocus or manual focus.
