When i first thought if buying i had fear, but its amazing. Its been couple months im using this lens and had amazing photography experience using this in bith day light and low light. The lower aperture in this lens will help amazing light during night photography. I recommend this.

This is an amazing portait lens! It works well on animals, cars, and other objects too! It also has a very nice built in color sceme that makes photos look preedited
Deva –
The lens features outstanding sharpness, excellent bokeh, and focuses quietly. I am surprised Sony didn’t issue this lens as one of their G series lenses.
TommyT –
I’ve been taking pictures for quite a long time.
This is hands down the best lens I’ve ever purchased.
Super fast autofocus and clean sharp photos. The details it captures are insane. Highly recommended.
Mecdjino –
Fantastic lens. You won’t be disappointed. For many, 85mm seems to always be a default portrait lens…but it can be so much more when you have imagination! Let you creativity shine through!
austinm –
Great lens for photos and videos. If you intend on taking any kind of photography or videography, its great for low light and bokeh.
Abey –
One of the best prime lenses I have used. It is as good as the GM lens which is almost triple the price

best lens i’ve had for a beginners like me and it’s pretty sharp photo
SoundUpNow –
I actually returned this lens due to my specific needs… BUT the quality of photos were amazing. For most shoots this lens is perfect, but if you need it to focus fast and actually this may not be it. I could’ve had a bad unit but I missed some photos of kids on the beach due to it focusing too slow, breathing or missing. I swapped my 50mm on just to be sure and it was perfect. A7III and updated.
AngelM –

I recently had the chance to test out the Sony 85mm f/1.8 prime lens for portrait sessions and here are my thoughts.
Even though it has a slightly slower f/1.8 aperture compared to an f/1.4 lens, the Sony 85mm f/1.8 still provides beautiful background blur and subject isolation for portraits. The optical quality is very good with sharp focus across the frame when shooting wide open at f/1.8.
The autofocus performance is snappy thanks to Sony’s quiet linear motor, though not quite as fast as the top-end GM lenses. Still, I found it locked focus very reliably on the subject’s eyes during portrait shoots. The circular 9-blade aperture gives nice smooth bokeh when shooting wide open.
This is a much more affordable 85mm prime lens compared to the GM version, but still provides excellent quality and performance for portrait photographers. The compact and lightweight design makes it highly portable for carrying around for portrait sessions.
Overall, the Sony 85mm f/1.8 is a great value choice for Sony shooters looking for a fast prime lens specifically for portraits. While not inexpensive, it costs significantly less than the GM version while still delivering sharp, beautiful image quality. If you’re on a budget but want superb 85mm performance, this lens comes highly recommended.
