    Thanks for reviewing alternative lenses for Sony FE cameras. It's great to see brands like Yongyuo, Viltrox, Samyang and others catch up to Sony, Sigma and Tamron image quality but at a more affordable price point for budget conscious photographers/videographers. Sharpness is definitely important to me and I do use DXO scores as reference prior to buying a new lens. Not many, if any, UA-cam camera reviewers reference DXO enough so props to you for being one of the first or few who does.

      When you're buying new lenses, just remember people; ''Sharpest'' does not mean ''best image quality.'' All these lens characteristics like sharpness, CA and so on, don't mean anything when it comes to overall image quality of a lens. Hasselblad for example has been making the best lenses in the entire market for over 150 years now and their lenses were never ''the sharpest!'' or had the ''best CA performance!'' and yet the image quality of photos taken with their cameras and lenses was always unmatched for not decades but almost two centuries... CENTURIES! Consumer grade manufacturers are chasing ''sharpness'' and ''eye af'' and other nonsense, while manufacturers like Hasselblad, Phase One, Angenieux, Cooke, Panavision, Leica, Zeiss and so on and so forth, have never had supreme sharpness lenses and yet their lenses always had legendary status image quality, well above the consumer grade manufacturers. Don't get fooled by marketing nonsense and buy quality products if you want your images to actually look good and not just be sharp.

    I purchased this lens for my Nikon Zf Camera and Mark's review is spot on! Lens is sharp, fast, small & light, build quality is excellent. The only thing that was a little off was the lens hood will not fit if you put a UV filter on. Other than that, Mark's review of this lens checks all the box's of why you should look into this one as it may be very nice addition to have in your camera bag!

    Hello Mark , I just bought this lens because of your video about how sharp the lens is . I have their 16mm f1.8 and it is really sharp . This lens cost $369 on AMAZON but I bought it here in one of the famous Asian E-commerce platform for only $240 . It is quite a huge discount on this updated version. I'm happy , thanks mark ☺️.. I'm currently on vacation here ..

    Super cool that you shared the shy part. I share your non-traditional approach to street photography, sometimes shooting w 200mm! Thanks for your videos - they really are excellent and quite polished. One shiny bit of polish you could add is saying "Youngnou sent the lens to me" instead of "Youngnow sent the lens to myself". Myself is the reflexive, meaning you have to have started the sentence with the word "I". I gave this lens to myself because I am a good person. She gave this lens to herself. Thanks again for your contribution, Mark!

    Thanks Mark! I have this lens but version 1 (the more plastic with red ring), sharpness was always very good on it, but the autofocus was a pain…, however you mention (and I totally forgot) that there was a firmware update so I rushed to computer and updated…Wow it’s like I got a new lens. Autofocus is now quite good, much better than before. Almost a Christmas present! 🎉

Would you choose this one over the similarly priced (on discount) Viltrox 1.8 and Samyang 1.4? I have the samyang but if this is as good as you say, i could ditch the f stop to get the smaller frame.

      I love my 90mm macro lens. Autofocus is not an issue for me in photography specially portraits with good light (specially when you use focus limiter).
      I actually want to get one 85 1.8 to make my gear lighter/compact, but it's hard for me to replace this macro lens as most of the time it the only one attached to my cam.
      Reason- with this we always have the option to go close or use it as a macro lens.

I’m a video shooter primarily for UA-cam, and despite having a Sony ZV-E1, I know it’s a capable camera, yes no EVF; but for some simple photos of my kids I’ve loosely thought about a reasonably priced portrait lens and this may be just that! Tried a 50mm 1.8 but 85mm 1.8 would be better! I’ve got the 16-35 F4 PZ from Sony. This could be a powerful little combo!

      Sonys GM line of lenses was literally invented because of Zeiss and most GM lenses were made by zeiss manufacturing standards, that sony legally stole from zeiss when they were under the partnership contract, which expired in 2019. thats why you wont see any more zeiss lenses for sony and probably for any camera ever again. all sonys fault. anyway, that said, most sony GM lenses have the ''3d pop'' or whatever you want to call that look, including all of the ZA lenses and even some cheaper lenses like the 2016 version of the 50mm 1.8 and the newest version of the 35mm 1.8.

      @@nogerboher5266 no, they don’t, because the industry moved towards removing geometric and chromatic aberrations as a main focus. What this does is add changes to coatings and the number of elements used. The more glass, the worse the signal to noise ratio is going to be for the sensor. This does two things: lowers micro contrast and also flattens the image, the depth is not there anymore. PS: yes I do hate sony for what they did.

    I bought the 85mm YN, the first gen. It was awesome! But when I put it on my A9iii, it having some issues like couldn’t use continuous shot, it stuck, in video mode too.. but after upgrading to their newest firmware, IT WORKS SO GREAT! I used it for indoor sports arena at 1.8, and I think this was my favorite lens, beautiful bokeh, smooth autofocus(also fast). 🥹🥹 and it’s cheap. Hahaha

    If this is the look you want it's a good price point. I find it has a clinical look if you don't know what that is I will tell you. Contrastly over sharp and flat. Some of that can be fixed in post. I prefer a more vintage 3D pop. Just food for thought.

      @@MarkBennettCameraCrisis So many cine lenses go up to 150 and above?! A complete set of Arri Master primes would be great, but one problem: I don't want to sell my organs 🙂. Right now I got the Firin 20, the inexpensive Sony 50 1,8 and want to slowly build up prime lenses, that also work well with the a7s3 when I'm doing video work. I'm a ''hybrid one man show''- shooter, so all lenses need to work in both applications. Mainly doing fotos, and with my trusted D850, but for video or when I just want a small bag I take the Sony - sometimes with Ronin RS3 and Sennheiser MKE600 or for interviews and such Sennheiser wireless with tascam 4 channel DR70...
      This seems like a very good choice for the 85 range. Thanks again

Viltrox and Sigma are not bad here in the U.K. compared to international prices, but, this brand and say, Tamron are expensive. Sony are normally a right rip off here in the U.K. but do sometimes have good deals on.
