Imaging Resource posted a very detailed analysis of the new Sony 100mm f/2.8 STF G Master lens and concludes:

The Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 STF G has a physical aperture of f/2.8, but exposes like an f/5.6. And when it comes to DOF, it shoots like an f/4, but produces some of the most amazing, creamy bokeh we’ve ever seen. Given it’s price, it’s a somewhat special-purpose lens, but oh man; if you want amazing bokeh, this is the way to get it!

DPreview also tested the 100mm STF and writes:

Similar STF lenses tend to be manual focus or contrast detect-only, since peripheral light rays – the very ones the filter is designed to block out – are necessary for traditional phase-detect sensors to function. However, since (at least Sony’s) on-sensor PDAF sensors can still use more central light rays for focusing, focusing does still work, remarkably well in fact with the a7R II, even indoors, wide open.

Sebimagery posted a Sony FE 85mm 1.8 First look:

While it’s been deemed the “Budget 85” for Sony’s e-mount the performance is quite fantastic.  For half the price of the Batis, this thing will be a solid performer.  The advantage over the Batis is the customizable button on the side of the lens like all the G Master lenses have.  

PcMag also tested the 85mm FE:

The FE 85mm F1.8 certainly wins out on price, coming in at about half that of the Zeiss Batis 1.8/85. Images look quite crisp, autofocus is speedy, and the lens maintains the same dust- and moisture-resistant design as other FE lenses.

Sony posted a new video that shows the massive advantages of the new Sony Global Shutter sensors over the regular Rolling Shutter sensors. Lets hope it will not take long until we see that tech on future Sony FF and APS-C cameras too.
