When you're paying 3 times more for the equivalent Sony G lense this comes as a surprise. Great image quality throughout the f-stops & the auto focus is fast & quiet. The build quality is actually better than Sony G lenses (it's all metal). If you can't afford the price Sony charge for theirs then get one of these. The only thing it doesn't do (yet) is allow focus breathing compensation. There's also no image stabilisation built-in but the IBIS in my Sony FX30 more than compensates for that omission. Highly recommended budget APS-C lense.

Using this on a Sony ZV-E10 and it does not like working in product mode. Maybe one in 20 times the autofocus will correctly capture an object held up to the camera but more often than not it will just click away continuously trying to find something to focus on. It's pretty noisy to so bear that in mind if you're using this for video.Other than that, the image quality is amazing. Really bright and clear with great bokeh

Watched all the reviews on YouTube, Camera Conspiracies being the one I've learned a surprising amount from - also recommended!If you want use your Sony APS-C camera as a webcam and for home blogging, 23mm 1.4 is perfect for framing, natural focus isolation, natural undistorted face proportions, etc — sharp as my wit.Tried the Sigma 16mm 1.4 first, as so many YouTubers seem to recommend - but they are all wrong. That's a great lens for landscape photography, but this Viltrox 23mm 1.4 is the one you want for vlogging. If you need a wider frame, move the camera back and get a remote for focus, shutter, recording start/stop for home studio recording, and get a longer selfie tripod for out & about walking & talking —Joilcan extendable is your friend for that.I'm sure it'll be great at everything. I'm never, ever gonna give this lens up. Your research quest is over my fellow image-conscious online traveller. This is the holy-grail. Get it before they realise it's worth twice as much and price accordingly.

Great VFM compared to it peers.

Well made and solid. Reasonable contrast and fringing. Recommended

It's the cheapest 85mm lens that's out there, let me specify cheapest new lens that supports the fastest AF for the latest Sony cameras with phase detect Auto Focus.The lens generally feels good quality and quite heavy, that's what we want because that means business :)My initial testing of the lens is very good, the sharpness looks on point, motors move fast and very quietly, unfortunately when importing the images to lightroom, there is no lens profile correction available by Adobe.But I definitely recommend buying this lens, it's good price and gives you stunning shots for your money!

I make a little money for Cancer charities by sale of my pictures but always used a zoom/ telephotoBut this prime 1.8 85mm is fantastic for the price i use an A7mk3 and Sony's lenses are wonderful but this 3rd party lens is fast clear and wonderful FE mount full frame for £320 Brilliant.
