Period of use: 1 year

Strengths:

Lightweight, microcontrast, bokeh, sharp wide open, color rendering, optical stabilization, excellent zeiss multi- coating, excellent af performance


Weaknesses:

overpriced, f1.8


Comments:

It`s overpriced f1.8 prime lense...however it is only cons. This fast prime lense gives you beautiful color rendering, 3d pop and bokeh...it is very sharp across all frame from f1.8, af almost never missed but in low light situation will hunt, works marvellous with eye af. I hesitated between Batis 85mm f1.8 and Sony 85mm f1.8 and I choose this first.

Strengths:

Amazing lens sharp wide open nice bokeh and on lens is not writed but have image stabilization this is the reason why i buy it instead the cheaper the same optic quality Sony lens .


Weaknesses:

In low lights conditions sometimes ghosting ...hard focusing .


Comments:

If some think in professional  way of portrait or fashion photography is a great choice ...at this time they are some new other better lenses even at f/1.4 but not image stabilized .
