- Spot on focus & rendering @ f1.4I was looking at a few alternatives but finally decided on this because of the following factors; 1. at 85mm, stabilization is useful and it's stabilized on the A7RII due to the IBIS, 2. at f1.4 and 85mm, DOF is shallow but with Eye-AF, obtaining spot on focus is reassuring 3. while the lens is no lighter than its equivalent from other brands, the total combined weight on the A7RII is balanced and significantly lighter. Overall impression, it's very well made. In use, the combined weight with A7RII is very manageable, the button on the lens can be programmed to invoke Eye-AF and the rendering is superb. In fact I found there's not much edit necessary in RAW and the JPEGs are good enough most times. The ability of this lens to resolve fine details at 42mpx even when shot at f1.4 is excellent. It is a little noisier than my other lenses but during actual shooting, I don't really notice it. It is also expensive but when paired with the A7RII, the combo offers capabilities not found in other equivalent lenses from other brands.
- Pro level quality lensExcellently built lens with very fast AF for an 85mm. I am convinced of the Sony's capabilities to deliver pro level lenses with the G Master. I had proceeded to purchase the 24-70mm G Master as well!
- Sharp as a surgeons knifeI got this recently and no regrets. Never thought I'd ever need or use an 85mm but now realised after first shots with this on my new a7Rii that this is the best portrait combination I've ever had. (Recently moved over from Nikon D810)
- Absolutely beautiful depth of field!It is a touch slower to eye focus than the 70-200 2.8 but it produces gorgeous images.
- Excellent color and bokehExcellent color reproduction and smooth bokeh. Aperture ring is very useful.
