    Short-telephoto prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 127.5mm equivalent focal length
    Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.
    Sonnar optical concept suits the combination of a large maximum aperture and long focal length, and also contributes to notable sharpness, well-controlled flare, and high contrast.
    Three anomalous partial dispersion elements are used to significantly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and color fidelity.
    ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and color fidelity.
    Optical image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting.
    Floating elements system helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the entire focusing range, from 2.6' to infinity.
    Integrated OLED display on the top of the lens shows the working focus distance as well as the depth of field range for quickly recognizing the parameters of focus in use, even when working in low-light conditions.
    Linear motors benefit the autofocus performance of the lens and provide smooth, fast, and quiet operation. For manual focusing, a rubberized ring offers greater tactile control for precise placement of focus.
    Dust and weather-sealed construction benefits using the lens in inclement shooting conditions.

    If you have the money, go for GM otherwise Samyang is the next best thing in terms of rendering. If you want the fastest auto focus and cheapest lens, get Sony 85/1.8.

    Definitely between Samyang/Rokinon 1.4 or Sony 1.8. Can't go wrong with either

    Wouldn't 85 be nowhere near wide enough?

    If you can afford this, then why not. I've only heard great things about this lens. But price is holding me back since this is only my hobby, not a way for me to get paid. Might be worth an investment if it is your line of work. If not, I'd just get a cheaper alternative. I have the rokinon f2.0 12mm (or aka Samyang in other countries) which I love for the price and quality of pics. Can't say much about the their 85mm since I do not own it, but I've seen reviews on youtube, you should check those out. Rokinon has been the go to of other who are in a budget.

    You'd need something lower than 85mm. Somewhere in the range of 10-18mm

    This is a great deal for an amazing portrait lens. Probably one of my favorite lenses in my kit.

    I would hold onto your wallets, prices are dropping all around and new photo gear rarely holds is value. You will be seeing tons of gear offloaded online by people affected by the unfortunate job market collapse.

    This is the answer, The Samyang also struggles with video(detail shots).

    No reason to get this when the Sony FE 85mm F1.8 exists unless you want/need image stabilization

    Would get the sony 85 1.8, cheap, light super fast and sharp. Nice to have 1.4 but for the weight and cost of the GM i rather get the regular sony

    Definitely go with the Sony 85 1.8 if you're trying to decide between these two.
