Review on 📷 VILTROX 85mm F1.8 II STM Auto Focus Camera Lens for Sony E Mount: A6600, A6500, A6400, A7RIV, A7RIII, A7III, A7RII, A7II, A7S by Yagami Iori ᠌

Sharp on the open, gives an interesting geometric pattern with round bokeh and a ragged out-of-sharp area that smoothly transitions between light and dark areas. Consequences of the copied optical scheme of the bathis. The body material and build quality are like glass for 2022. All seams are very high quality. Pretty light for an 85. Low price both new and resale. Autofocus is terrible, even with the latest firmware. On a7m2 it is stupidly absent - it crawls somewhere, looks for something and eventually confirms the focus with soap on the screen. On a7m3r in the eye tracking mode, it’s still possible to shoot light dynamics, but 6/10 photos are a focus flight or just soap. Native 85 / 1.8 beats 9/10 frames in any movement, even on a7m2. The lens hood is just terrible, it is impossible to fix it, since it is not really possible to feel the click of fixing. Because of this, it constantly falls off, there are crooked grooves on it, it is of a different color, as if not from this lens, it doesn’t even fit into the box normally . I didn’t like the focus ring, it’s too tight, but this is for me, a skinny with small thin handles. The reliability of this glass is a big question, many people face problems after a year of use. For responsible commercial shooting, I would not take this lens. The manufacturer does not care what he sold, you can forget about the guarantee, count only on the decency of the store. In support of Viltrox, you can’t reach out even if you write in Chinese, they stupidly do not answer.
