Probably the cheapest 85mm AF lens which has been well reviewed.
Priced nearly half that of Digidirect
Same for Fuji X (APSC) which would be 127.5mm equivalent also for $299.95 Fuji X

Yeahhh but that's 3 times the price
Considering selling my (excellent) Sony 85mm f1.8 for this actually. Gonna feel the weight difference though.
Probably not worth the change for 2/3rd stop improvement. I would say if someone is buying now into 85mm then the f1.4 is the one to go for but it’s not worth changing from what is already a good lens to this one.
Switched awhile back from the Sony 1.8 to Samyang 1.4 and rarely if ever go back to the former though the Samsung has a slight warm colour cast.
Found the Sony 1.8 is sharp wide open but the Bokeh can be sometimes distracting. It’s such a good lens overall.
If weight and sharpness is not an issue - used Canon 85mm 1.2 II via MC-11 or similar adapter. I use it on both Canon EF and Sony FE mounts and it has a beautiful look.
If you want pure sharpness and are not concerned with weight a used Zeus’s Batis 85mm 1.8 but it is hard to find discounted to other used lens prices.
I have not used the Sony GM 2nd gen but have used the original and it is amazing. There are sometimes sale periods and used copies popping up.
Thanks, just started with a Sony camera and building it up with a set of primes.
Already have the 40mm 2.5 Sony so this will take care of the telephoto side.I prefer the Sony as it has focus breathing compensation for video.
I prefer the viltrox because its cheap
and decent
couldnt be more happy with my 50/2 air.
These lens are great for the money and I have no hesitation using it.
Love these budget lens.
The price drop of this is bananas.
If you are a budding photographer this type of lens at this price is unheard of new.

I just got the same email, I was looking forward to using this lens but I guess I've saved money buy not getting anything.
it does sound too good to be true, just like the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN deal.
Mine arrived today. The Viltrox seal stickers had already been cut open. Lens itself was fine and had no signs of use from what I could see. So unless I find some issue I won't complain since they don't have anymore stock and hard to beat that price.
BTW Viltrox recently released AF 85mm F1.4 Pro at $598.00 USD.
