Super sharp, well made

Super sharp, well built with a nice shallow depth of field. Lets you appreciate your focus skills as it's very sharp when you pin it down.

Pros
  • Scope of delivery: ZEISS Loxia 2.4/85 (including matching lens tint).
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Specially designed for mirrorless recordings

Exceptional glass for Sony system. It's always a pleasure to use. There really isn't much to say. If you can handle manual focus, I don't think there really is a better overall combination of size, speed, build quality, weight and image reproduction at 85mm than this lens.

Pros
  • High-quality workmanship: robust yet lightweight metal housing for years of use. High precision and durable mechanical components. A special seal on the mount protects the interface between the camera and the lens.
Cons
  • Concise manual

It comes at a price to justify the myriad of corrective optics and coatings. The photos captured with these lenses reflect optical qualities, but without soul or character. I…

Pros
  • 85 mm fixed focal length with outstanding image quality for professional and demanding portrait, wedding and bridal photography. High light intensity thanks to f/2.4 aperture.
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
