Pros:SEL85F14GM, Dreamy Portrait: Nitido - Bokeh - build quality top
Cons:Some uncertainty about the AF (then I'll explain well) and TA is less engraved but turns to closed diaphragms
Opinion:For better or worse, this Sony home lens makes a lot of talk about itself. I read all the written reviews, the various youtube videos and they all give completely different opinions about this product. But is this lens so strange? Okay, now I'm going to write something down on this lens. I would say that (with many doubts) I took this lens a year ago replacing my beloved 100 STF G Master, the best lens for portraits and not sony house, if they had not inserted the apodizing filter at this hour was still with me. After a year with over 5000 photos with my ML sony, I would like to express a personal opinion on this wonder/lens bin. On the quality of construction is not discussed, it is in line with GM line-up, I like a lot the diaphragm diaphragm dial, the custom button and its solidity of construction. Stabilizer absent, but the sony sensor does the dirty work (ndp). On the performance here there is to write a poem by Dante Alighieri, but I limit myself in a simple way to write as the facts are. This lens is a bit like Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde and let's see why. The autofocus of the lens must be analyzed in two respects: on first and second generation cameras the focus will go to the ball (on the second generation a little less). But surprisingly it becomes a lens with better performance af from the a9 onwards, indeed, it completely transforms species on the A9 where it resets all those defects related to the old SSM engine making it performing especially in The Continuous. Many say that it makes a of noise while it focuses, for me it is not a problem. The various distortion and vignette defects are correctable quietly in post-production, Even the chromatic aberrations are present in small quantities but are corrected (from f2.8 the problem disappears). Good flare resistance but not at top levels. Okay I wrote you the flaws or not of this lens, but how is the sharpness? Chapter long but I'll just know it in a simple way: Less engraved to excellent TA from f2 onwards. Up to f16. At F1.4 it's a bit soft as resolution but it's valid. In some situations I noticed a blur effect on subject that I took, it shows up at TA but does not always appear. A warning to purists of extreme resolution: for those looking for more resolution at full opening this lens will discard it immediately (probably), bringing either on the Batis, Sigma or other brands. Personally the sharpness in my photographic context is an important thing, but not fundamental so there is a bit of softness (then they are tastes) although I work very often both at full opening and from f2 onwards, and there that this lens gives the best of itself and reaches levels d i excellent yield at f8. On the bokeh here wins without overdoing, soft and fairy-tale and the chromatic rendering is very suggestive. I must admit that this lens is a bit peculiar, and it goes a little bit because you will have to work hard to know its full potential, but I assure you that even if the price is high (now a little less) when admiring the beauty of the image and the pleasantness of using or, do you realize that the money invested is worth everything to what it offers...
Pros:Bokeh, sharpness, even at TA, AF speed, eye-AF, solidity, aperture ring, color rendering
Cons:Weight & dimensions although much better than the Sigma, lack of stabilizer
Opinion:I have this lens for several months and you've got to test it for portraits and photos of pets in various conditions. For me it is the fiber from ideal portrait: bokeh of an incredible softness, excellent sharpness already TA, becomes a blade from f / 2 onwards. The thing that strikes me most is the chromatic yield: if used in backlight develops more pastel shades, while in other situations produces an extremely embodied naturale.rnAlcuni say that af is slow but I did not give this impression. Of course, compared to much smaller optics, such as the 55mm f / 1.8, it is a bit 'slower, but the difference is not so much, so much so that I find it usabilissimo for pet portraits that are constantly moving. Priceless is the eye-af function when the use of to7 ii.rnNon is a lightweight lens, in fact for laziness sometimes not the port with me; moreover if you want that kind of brightness and optical yield it is inevitablehave thick glasses. In any case, the weight and dimensions are reduced by Sigma 85mm, something important for me to have a good balance with Sony bodies that are lighter and smaller reflex.rnTrovo extremely convenient to adjust the diaphragms directly on the objective, and it's great they can also adjust continuously and not "jerky" on preimpostati.rnE 'values ??a lens that costs, but when you look at the beauty of the image and the pleasantness of use you realize that it is worth them all.
