Most lenses work well in standard situations. Most of the time you get to the differences in extreme situations: extremely low light, extremely bright light, stray light, sunlight, fluorescent light, extreme high or low contrast, fast-moving subjects. Then you might run into trouble focusing, experience flaring, ghosting, etc. The next thing you want to know is how it contributes to your workflow. You want something that gets to the desired result in a minimum amount of time. So sometimes an extra button or switch does the trick. You also might want to use the lens that works similar to the thing you are shooting most of the time with. You want to do it always the same way and not to think about where the button on this lens is compared to your other lenses.

Great review, thanks! Made me keep my reliable Sony 85mm f1.8 . I also tested 1.4 vs 1.8 and saw that "bokeh" looks very similar. ISO performance is not an issue with Sony, so my main focus is how round bokeh is when you stop down the lens (I hate hexagon bokeh!). And you need to stop it down if you shoot more than one person to make both persons faces in focus. Also focus reliability is top priority - no matter that your picture bokeh will be nicer, if your subject face will be completely out of focus :D was thinking to sell my 85/1.8 and get samyang, but after your video - I will think no more :D

after 3-4 years of using Samyang 85 1.4, as long as the object doesn't move too fast, it could provide good enough image quality and focus performance. And it is comfortable for low light situation. At its price, a big bang for money comparing to GM or GM II. Of course, sometime you may wonder if the 85 1.8 could focus a little bit faster and light your camera bag too.

This video seals it for me. If you don't need video, there is almost no reason to get the Sony's over the Samyang (Rokinon). Samyang had faster autofocus than the GM, less rounded bokeh and slightly less sharpness at 1.4. The differences become less as you go to 1.8 and beyond. For me, that doesn't justify the massive price difference. The only thing the Sony 1.8 has on the Samyang is the autofocus, but less difference in still photos. That's a worthy sacrifice for that extra stop of light IMO.

I'm considering getting a FF lens for my sony a6400 (so i can have lenses for a future FF camera, and also why not). the funny thing is, when you start to have a few regular goto lenses, as i do now, and think about the future, while you are also deciding what filter set up to get (as I am now) things like the filter size matter....somewhat. At the moment my largest lens filter size is 67mm on my Rokinon 12mm wide. that Rokinon 85 has a 72mm filter thread whereas that sony 85 has 67mm filter thread. I Can Not decide if I should go ahead and "Filter up" to a master 72mm (or even 77) filter set up with various step up rings, or use 67mm filter set up as my main set up for now. I'm going to order filters today or tomorrow, and I'm not getting cheap ones so it's one of those photography gear puzzles. I have the Sigma 30mm and most likely will get the 56mm (maybe), as a side note and I love Sigma's lenses so far. How bout that Sirui 50mm 1.8 1.33x Anamorphic lens as another side not though!! (also 67mm thread..HA!)

I will stick with my 85 f1.8. and I have an old Sigma 85 that I have always loved, that I adapt if I want f1.4..... but so far since getting the Sony 85 I haven't touched the old lens. I just love the size and weight of the the Sony 85 f1.8,,,, it's perfect for my A7r lll. and I also love my 55 f1.8 ,,,,, I guess I'm tired of heavy glass. now I wish Sony would put out a 35 f1.8 that competes with the image quality of the 55 and 85 f1.8 lenses. and also small and light. but for now I'm using my 28 f2

Hi jason very short question. Which lens do you recommend for portrait video for SONY A7II? Thanks in advance 😊

I guess you did not keep the same focus drive speed in both cameras. The one with Sony lenses must be on Medium, or Slow focus drive speed. If it was that slow, it would not give that smooth and precise transition. It would hunt a bit. Can you check again?

I'm so confused between Samyang 85 1.4 and Sony 85 1.8. for a7iii Is the difference between the two massive? I prefer going with native sony glass but then f1.4... at this price is just unbeatable... Can you suggest the best option? Please

With the Sony f1.8 being both sharp and affordable, Samyang tried to fill a space that wasn't really there. The thing about Samyang lenses (and any other non-Sony E-lens) is that camera firmware updates can really mess things up. I really like my Samyang 50/1.4, but it's totally unreliable since the A9 v5 update. I wrote the company, and they're working on a fix, meanwhile the lens is just sitting on my desk...

Is there any chance, Jason that you could make a comparison between this awesome Sony 85mm f1.8 (on a a7xxx) vs Sigma 56mm f1.4 (mounted on a a65/64) & why not the same Sony 85mm G on the a65/64. All of this in the same way as this very video, bokeh-ball, focus speed and all that. I'm in the edge of replacing my Sigma 56mm with the Sony 85mm but I need you, exactly you to do this comparison, pretty please 🙏🏼

Did you update the firmware to v3 for the Rokinon? I updated mine and the auto focus is noisy and definitely not quiet like your video. I wonder if something is wrong.

In the UK the Rokinon f1.4 and the Sony f1.8 are both £599. At the same price point is it basically then a comparison of a bigger aperture and some nice colouring vs weight savings and autofocus accuracy?
