Full 85mm f/1.8 FE review at ePhotozine

Share

ePhotozine posted the full Sony 85mm F/1.8 FE lens review:

The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 lens is superb to use, and also superb in many ways in terms of its performance. The lower cost compared to most 85mm lens does not seem to have reduced the performance at all. So full credit to Sony for achieving this. The one weakness is the tendency to flare against the light, which is a shame, but it need not be a deal breaker, depending on the sort of image making we do.
To summarise, an excellent performance from a well-priced lens and one that can easily be Highly Recommended.

An unusual deal: BHphoto liquidates outdoor store. 50% off on most stuff!

Share


B&H has decided to pare down our Outdoor Gear lineup (Click here to see all items). This is their text:

We pride ourselves on being experts in the field of anything we sell. We are “The Source” for information and product. We feel that we do not have the expertise to be that source when it comes to Outdoor Gear. What that means is that we are liquidating a lot of our stock at up to 50% off.

There is stuff many photographers could find useful!

Reminder: You get up to $355 free extras at BHphoto (Click here). That’s on top of the regular up to $300 rebates. A couple of examples:
Free case and battery ($160 value) with the A7rII, A7sII, A7II and A7.
Free case, battery, card and Rode mic with the A7sII and 24-70mm f/4.0 kit.
Free case, battery, card and Rode mic with the A7sII and 24-70mm GM f/2.8 kit.
