Value for money

Price match gave me the opportunity to purchase direct from Sony. Love the lens so far. Light, compact, fast to focus and great results. Paired with a7CII it feels well balanced. An aperture ring would make the lens a perfect choice.

Small & Mighty

Have had the 85mm f1.8 for a little while now. It's great on my Sony a7cii as a lightweight portrait set up. I often take photos around my school of students in class and of students who need portraits for the school data base. This is a great portable set up and the lens creates great separation from background activities or work up on the walls to create a stunning school based portrait.

High Quality

I've been using it as a telephoto lens when I want more detail and compression in my landscapes. It produces beautiful images and I love the all metal construction.
