Rare pierces Posted September 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I would wait until some reviews with images are available. I have Rokinon 12mm f/2 and 8mm fisheye third-party lenses that perform very well but their 85mm f/1.4 was disappointing. Fast primes struggle with chromatic aberrations and corner sharpnesss. At only $150 less than the excellent Sony 85mm f/1.8, it would have to provide exceptional performance to balance the fact that it's fully manual. IMHO, of course. 🙂 Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havoc315 Posted September 14, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The newer AF Samyang/Rokinon 85/1.4 is exceptional https://enthusiastphotoblog.com/rokinon-samyang-85mm-f-1-4-review-for-sony/ and spoiler for 2 upcoming reviews... apart from price, the Sony 135/1.8 may be their most perfect lens ever (but just started testing) Any while not perfect, the Sony 35/1.8 is spectacularly sharp and a perfect compliment to an a7 camera.

havoc315 Posted September 19, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Not 3rd party.... But the Sony FE 35mm F/1.8 is nearly a must-own lens for Sony shooters: The Sony 35mm F/1.8 is like a new, improved, evolved version of the Sony 55mm F/1.8... It's incredibly sharp, but suffers from bad CA and vignetting.
