Sehr lichtstarkes Objektiv in hervorragender Qualität. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist unschlagbar.

Impressionante qualità per il prezzo che ha. Ottima fattura, leggero, piccolo, proprio quello che cercavo. Perfetto per ritrattistica. Ho riscontrato quello che credo sia un problema di correzione automatica della vignettatura (schiarisce un lato lungo invece dei 4 angoli). Spero possa bastare un aggiornamento di obiettivo e/o macchina.

Sharpness as equal as kit lens 16-50mm in center but better in corner. Lens is not sharp for me

I did not expect this good of quality. I used it to shoot a military training exercise at very low light and it performed really well with my Sony FX 3. Highly recommend.

Lente con una nitidez extraordinaria, distancia focal para APSC equivalente a diagonal del sensor, con anillo de diafragma y conmutadores AF /M, clic de abertura y botón personalizable.Objetivo pesado pero buen combo con una Sony de la serie A.Muy contento con esta lente, ofrece un color excepcional y una nitidez increíble.

It's honestly great for It's price. It feels and performs like a professional lens. The build quality was really really good. It's had a polished connector thankfully

Bon objectif, un peu lourd, un peu gros pour un petit appareil sony, mais bonne photo sans flash car lumineu.

Lens is sharp and clear. Not a lot of chromatic aberration very easily fixed in Lightroom. I’ve taken a ton of portrait shots of family with this lens. The autofocus is fast and low light performance is great. The construction is metal and feels premium. The focus ring is smooth and silent. It’s a great entry level 85mm. I highly recommend this lens.

First off let me say, this lens has amazing potential IF you get a functional copy. This is why the seller has a short return windows of 33 days (when I got mine). It functions well but soon after it randomly locks up on the (in my case expensive ass brand new Sony A74 I got at the same time as this lens). Turning your camera on and off does NOTHING to help and the camera is locked on the viewer screen all buttons stop responding. Once you jimmy the lens off your camera, try ANY other lens you’ll see it works perfectly without issue. Tech support pprt from Viltrox is 🗑. Do a little more research on this lens first. The next thing that bothered me is the cport for lens firmware update doesn’t work!! I tired multiple types the lens is unresponsive and doesn’t show up on my MacBook Pro. I thought it might have been a firmware issue. But I can’t confirm because the port doesn’t work. Anyway if and when I you do get your lens to work it preforms well. But that’s only about 10% of the time for me. Other times it doesn’t connect properly or locks up. I’d suggest going with a Rokanon/Samyang if price point is a deciding factor. Because now I have a $400+ piece of equipment that failed within months of having it and no support to having it replaced or repaired.

Good value lens and one of my sharpest (zeiss comparison). I only notice that the focus stutters sometimes. It will become frustrating if a firmware doesnt fix this. I am looking for a workaround. I am very happy withthe look and very sharp.Heavy, but feels good and solid on my a7r3.

I am honestly blown away at how good this lens is for the price.- The build quality is top notch, it's nice and heavy and the focus ring is tight and solid- The image quality is really great (it has VERY SLIGHTLY more chromatic abberation than more expensive lenses, which is easily correctable in post if you even notice it)- It is very sharp- The bokeh is very nice and pleasing, not smudgy or streaky or weird shaped- It's autofocus! It is fast and accurate. It's a teeny bit louder than my Sony/Sigma lenses, but it's definitely not going to be noticed by anyoneI have the Samyang/Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 for Sony E, and this lens is just as good for $200 less. Yes it's f/1.8 and not 1.4, but I rarely shoot at 1.4 anyways because the focus becomes so narrow. This is the perfect budget portrait lens.I used this for a portrait session and although I can't publicly share those pics, they turned out fantastic. I'm sharing some random snapshots just to give you an idea of the capabilities of this lens, but they are obviously nothing special.

This lens is PHENOMENAL. I've never used a Viltrox lens before so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but I was quite impressed with the complete package.This is a heavy, metal-enclosed lens with a massive front element and solid grip for focus. It feels a little silly using such a big lens on a smaller Sony camera like the a5100 or a6400 - but works well on both and fits nicely on my a7s ii.85mm is the perfect angle for cinematic shots, flattering portraits, and with the f/1.8 max aperture, you get some nice, smooth bokeh roll-off too! And it's super sharp where you need it.My only issues with the lens come up with its minimum focusing distance being a little further away than I'd like. There's obviously no stabilization, which on those smaller cameras can be a problem.
