85mm F/1.8 F1.8 Mark II STM Full-Frame 85mm f1.8 ii for AF Auto Focus for Sony E-Mount Camera A7III A7RIII A7SII A7II a6500 a6400 a6300

The lens out of the box feels high quality, much more than the standard Sony EF lenses, not the G or GM. The lens has a nice “heavy” metal body and smooth focal ring that feels great. The packaging surprisingly was great. The lens itself creates quite stunning pictures for its price. The clarity of it is better than expected and performs well. Has a usbc input for updating the firmware/software as your camera updates. Over all so far the lens was a great purchase. The AF on my Sony A7iv works flawlessly out of the box and is fast focus speed. Overall a good buy for a intro level good lens for your professional camera.

Not sure how the hell Viltrox pulled this off, but they created a real gem with this lens. It's seemingly well made, being mostly metal (as far as I can tell) and quite substantial feeling. It's also quite heavy, but not enough to make an A7-series body feel unbalanced. AF is fast, generally quite accurate, and quiet. It does tend to hunt a bit in lower light situations, especially when stopped down a bit, but it's not a huge issue in most cases. Image quality is a lot better than I had expected, especially in terms of sharpness in the center of the frame. Wide open, it's acceptably sharp...but stopped down to f/2.8 it really gets super-sharp. Even f/2.2 is noticeably improved over f/1.8. Color rendition looks fine to me, but I don't pay a lot of attention to that sort of thing. Vignetting is noticeable up to about f/4 (or maybe 5.6), but it is not egregious and is easily corrected in post processing. Chromatic aberration is surprisingly well controlled, even at maximum aperture. I bought this instead of the Sony 85mm, and I'm damn glad I did.

AF is quick and MF feels good. Pictures are sharp.

Yes, I reluctantly gave this lens a shot..pardon the pun, and damn...I am truly impressed with the results. I have a A7III and was using Tamron for Nikon adapted glass (which worked fine...when I would adapt anything but a single focal length (Prime Lens), it would take one shot then freeze. So, I decided to invest/try this dedicated lens and see its quality. Results?? WOW!! I am SO loving the images, crispness...great low light ability and the cost is so very inexpensive!

I have been so excited and expecting to receive this highly-recommended lens for portraits. Unfortunately, I gotta return it. 1st of all, the lens hood has a crack near the white spot in photo 1 as delivered, but I could accept it because it is a piece of plastic. Disappointingly, the lens was heavily flawed since the inner motor stopped working after a one-hour test. As photo 2 showed F. had no points, which means the aperture did not operate. I might be the unlucky customer, but I would want Viltrox to have a greater Quality Check department before sending out the products.

This is a surprisingly good lens. Great image quality and performance of auto focus. The only thing to be aware of is that the firmware of the lens occasionally makes it a little finicky (e.g. it isn’t immediately recognized by my Sony a7iii). But this doesn’t happen often and it’s easy to fix by just taking the lens off and putting it back on. Overall a great lens, especially for the price!

que el producto está 10/10, llegó en perfecto estado,iwto para ser usado

Gorgeous edge to edge sharpness, wonderful bokeh, and works brilliantly for both portrait work and astrophotography. I find myself grabbing this lens more and more! The only drawback I've found is a slight vignette in very dark situations (like astrophotography), but one that is absolutely easily corrected in lightroom.

Its an amazing lens for Sony E-mount cameras, especially for portrait photography. The autofocus is fast and accurate, and the background blur looks smooth and professional. The images come out sharp even in low light thanks to the wide F1.8 aperture. It feels well-built yet lightweight to carry around. A great affordable alternative to more expensive lenses!

Lente muito boa, tem ótima nitidez, contrastes finos e elegantes, deixa um lindo desfoque de fundo, só peca um pouco na perca do foco continuo mas dá pra passa despercebido. Em fim por em quanto valeu a pena, vamos ver daqui a alguns meses ou anos.

Perfect for portrait and nature photography. Video quality is good.

Initial review of this product. The lens is awesome. As per my initial test ( 2nd day since i got it ). It’s sharp, light and I love the colors that comes out of my Sony. The box arrived with a rip that puzzles me. Will update this review after a month or so. July 12 Update. I am returning the lens. I think I ordered the version 1 because it is quite confusing. After 5 minutes. I double-check the lens. The lens says AF 86/1.8 II FE. But the image on this page doesn't match my item. WHICH CONFUSES ME MORE. So I send them a message first before returning the item.

I received the lens after 10 days of order. The pack was perfectly sealed and protected. Yet, the lens cap jammed onto the lens chassis in front. It was but a hassle to get it off after sometime of push & pull techniques. Build quality is superb. All metal and sturdy. It’s on a bit heavier side compared to Sony’s 50mm or 85mm. But can live with it. Image quality is awesome and I can’t complain anything about it. Portraits looks awesome. I am not a professional though the images I get from my AIII using this lens looks very flattering. Bokeh it produces is very eye pleasing. Auto focus is smooth but not super fast. Expect a bit lag. Overall a better lens at affordable price. I suggest buy this lens with camera body instead of other kit lenses. You can use this one lens for most of the purposes.
