Something I enjoy about the Sony cameras I have are all the lens options. I actually own all Sony native glass BUT I love that someone starting out has these awesome option that are affordable. My favorite lens is my Sony 135GM... the sharpness and contrast is other worldly, it focuses lightning fast and is an extremely bright optic.

Thank you for this video. After seeing this and wanting one, I realized that I can use my Tamron 70-300mm lens on my Sony A6300 and zoom out to 85mm. The only problem is that it doesn't have a lock focus feature. At 85mm it looks fantastic for distant subjects and getting a nice background bokeh. Your video helped me realize that. Thank you!

I was gifted one of these lenses and tried it on an indoor natural light portrait photoshoot last weekend. I like it and will use it again but colour fringing on backlit photos was bad enough to render some of them completely unusable - but that seems to mostly disappear by about f4. Great channel BTW. Subbed. Best wishes from Ottawa.

I am a new owner of the Meike 85mm AF f/1.8 lens. The price is understandably low ($200 USD) because the stepper motor is horrendously loud. AF is "late" but good enough, given the way I use this lens for still photography. Video? Fuggetaboutit with all that noise drowning out the birds chirping and the bees buzzing. And water sealing? I never need that. I keep all my stuff away from sand, filth, salt spray, and moisture, anyway. What I fear is losing some irreplaceable precious lens that I might own, from 50 years ago. So this lens will go in my travel bag, and if I lose it, I won't cry any crocodile tears over this. Meanwhile, the optics are very good! And the lack of pincushion or barrel distortion means I can take multiple shots, while camera is on (or not on) a tripod, and then stitch them together for panoramas. I might have bought a very reputable, and expensive, Sigma 85mm F 1.4 lens, but my diligence convinced me to keep looking. That Sigma lens has pronounced pincushion distortion, which all the reviewers said is easily correctable in Lightroom. Well, I don't own Lightroom, and I don't want to bother to fix pincushion distortion for every picture I stitch into a panorama. Yeah, I know that pincushion is loved by some, for its ability to make everyone look slimmer. Phooey on that, for $1000. THUMBS UP for this noisy, inexpensive, replaceable-if-lost optical champion!

An 85 mm f1.8 is not for beginners. A 24 - 70 f2.8 is the most versatile lens in this class. Always buy good glass never buy cheap glass. Buy a used camera body spend your money on good glass. I have been a professional photographer for 50 years. I shoot Nikon, DJI, GoPro and Akaso my lighting is pro photo. Currently my projects are video with stills mixed in for an artistic touch. Do waste your money on plastic gear.
