The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I have exactly the second version of this lens under Sony. With all the possible shortcomings in this lens, everything justifies the cost ! Every invested! I use on Sony A7 mk II. Focus is accurate and fast, contrast is better than AF Samyang, color is excellent. Chromatics are present, but not more than in other high-aperture glasses for 3-5 times the cost. According to the totality of characteristics, there are no analogues on the market now. Of those close to it, this is the Zeiss Batis 85mm 1.8, but people, this is a lens that is 5 times more expensive than this worthy Chinese. Moreover, I know what I'm talking about . Kenon and Nikon have top-level glasses behind them! I've been shooting for over 15 years and I understand what I'm talking about. In general, if you still doubt - do not hesitate! This glass is the best deal on a full-frame Sony for the money! The only thing to complain about is the lens hood, but these are nitpicks. The hood is of course made of cheap plastic and has problems with a tight fit. Perhaps this problem is only with my copy. On the other hand, what do you want for that kind of money? The rest of the lens design is to match the top Zeiss! I rejoice and do not understand why overpay for analogues 3-5 times more. The sharpness of the portraits is amazing, the color is excellent and accurate, the autofocus on the face and eyes is also the most accurate. For example, I have a Samyang AF 50 1.4 and it makes mistakes, but it costs 2.5 times more than Viltrox. I'm happy, and if in doubt, just try it, it's worth it! Everything seems to be . I am attaching sample photos.
