Tamron 85Mm 1.8

[Manual Focus] Having owned the GREAT Sigma 85mm art lens and the FANTASTIC Tamron 85mm 1.8, I can say without reservation, THIS LENS IS AMAZING!!! This lens is as sharp at 1.2, as the Tamron at 1.8!! That is INSANE considering the Tamron is fantastically sharp at 1.8... Wow... The Sigma is sharper yes, but it doesnt go down to 1.2! Ill sacrifice the MARGINAL sharpness for the better aperture, boken rendering (OMG!!), and overall different artistic look this lens provides... Oh yeah, its manual focus.... But Im adapting to Sony so........Lol

[Brass] It's a well made CPL. I have used it numerous times since I purchased it and love the ease of use. A previous CPL I had on my Tamron 85mm 1.8 previously was very tight to use and ended up with numerous fingerprints on it from slipping while rotating the filter. This one is far superior. Glass quality is also excellent.

[Autofocus] I sold 4 lenses, including a Nikon 85mm 1.8D, and I still needed to pay extra to get this. Totally worth it. When I first tried this out, I was blown away by how awesome this lens is. It's much sharper than my old 85mm 1.8D, and is by some distance the sharpest lens I have. I think it's going to be my go-to lense for a long time. Bokeh is top-tier, too. If there's any complaint, it's the size and weight of this lens, and it WILL take up space in your bags. Still, if you're looking for the absolute best quality, this is what you have to get.

[Belt Loop] Great quality lens case, and fits my Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 lens like a glove. Can never go wrong with Portabrace.

[Sony E] Disregard that earlier review by "Lance". This lens is awesome. The AF mimics a normal focus pull and the weight makes it easy to swap out on a gimbal. I originally bought the 24mm V-AF and have been using it for a lot of gimbal work, I found that at times I would need a 85mm, so I use the Sony 85mm 1.8. To keep things consistent, I got the 75mm 1.8 V-AF. When switching focus, it is more organic and natural compared to a photo lens. I got the front accessory as well to dial the manual focus and it makes the feel of the lens much better. If you are interested in using this for photo, fear not. The AF speed can be adjusted via the lens station and will give you fast speeds as a normal lens would. My only gripe with the 75mm is the breathing which is normal at this focal length. Wish Sony extended the lens breathing comp to 3rd party lenses. On the other hand, the 24mm V-AF doesn't have any lens breathing comp at all. Overall I am happy with the build, quality and performance of this lens. This is a video centric lens and as such, the expectations should align with it. For the price, it's reasonable at $649. Looking forward to more accessories and improvements of this lens.

[f/2] This lens totally surprised me with the sharpness and the amount of light that comes through. I tested against my Nikon f/1.8 85mm, it might fail a I will said like a 1% on details, otherwise, I am very happy with this lens. The primary use for this lens is portrait photography.

[Brass, Aluminum] Using my Nikon 85mm F/1:1.8D kens, I'm getting beautiful photos using this adapter. Manual focusing is easy with the X-T30 and Nikon glass is great.

[35mm] I used to have the Zeiss 55mm 1.8 and it was everything they said about it but it didn't felt right for my, this sigma is not as sharp as the 55mm, nor as an 85mm but it's unique look makes it an amazing portrait lens, the rendering is really good and I prefer the warmer colors from sigma, I had the 65mm before and sold it for the 55 but now I got it back again also because of the weather sealing the 65mm is a well rounded option.

[Aluminum] I use this with my Cokin Z-Pro frame and adapts easily to the 67mm Nikkor 28mm and 85mm f/1.8 lenses. Quality made and durable.

[Polyester] It can fit Canon 85mm 1.8/f without problem. It is easily accessible and good for quick change of lens. The plastic lock may look a bit shaky but it is tough enough to hold the weight of a small lens. The pouch material feels good enough to protect from minor impact. So in summary it is a good, light, handy pouch for small lens.
