Description of Lightdow 85Mm F1

Portrait-perfect sharpness and bokeh: Great sharpness and smooth bokeh of a well-designed mid-range telephoto prime lens for portraiture, and the LD85F18E is a standout choice. It features a compact, lightweight design for mobility, with high-performance optics and a large F1.8 maximum aperture that deliver outstanding image quality. An excellent second lens for both full-frame and APS-C camera users. Fine prime-lens performance: UMC glass for chromatic aberration compensation, a 6-blade circular aperture, and carefully controlled spherical aberration contribute to superb sharpness and smooth bokeh. Compatible with: Sony A9 / A7R III / A7R II / A7R / A7S II / A7S / A7 III / A7 II / A7 / NEX-7 / NEX-6 / NEX-5 / NEX-5N / NEX-5R / NEX-5T / NEX-3 / NEX-C3 / NEX-F3 / NEX-3N / A6500 / A6300 / A6000 / A5100 / A5000 / A3000 / QX1. Tips to use our Manual Lens: 1) Set the mode dial to Manual (M). 2) Set the Release w/o Lens option in the camera menu to Enable. 3) Set the Shutter lock option in the camera menu to Off: no lens. - Large Aperture with a pleasing bokeh quality to further enhance shallow depth of field images.

Not Worth the Money

After I put it to the test, I was severely disappointed with this item. The Electronics were poorly made and the focus was constantly blurry. The only good thing about it was the SLEEK design but that's not enough to justify the high price... Save your money and invest in a better alternative..

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Poor electronics, blurry focus.

Not Worth the Investment

As an avid photographer, I thought the Lightdow lens would be a great addition to my kit. However, it fell short in nearly every aspect. Although it was easy to attach to my camera, the image quality was subpar at best. Through trial and error I found that it worked best in brightly-lit environments, which defeated the purpose of an f/1 lens. Additionally, it was not compatible with all of my electronics .Overall, I would not recommend this product..

Pros
  • Easy to attach to camera.
Cons
  • Subpar image quality, works best in bright light, not compatible with all electronics.

This lens does not work well with the Sony A7RII.

This camera does not recognize the lens despite advertising. It's loose, it's cheap, and the rings are difficult to maneuver. Received today, return immediately.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • not reliable
