Did I ever mention that the combo of A6500 and FE 1.8/85 is one of the most funny combos for the zoo? Looks almost like a P&S and is very capable.

One more pair wide open and stopped down. Seems like a little bit of 3D pop in this lens.


I see it as well

I plan to use this lens on the A6500 as well. A great combo indeed.

Just tried it for a selfie in the studio. Will have a business portrait session tomorrow and checked out the setup:

I've just updated the sample image section.

My impression regarding the bokeh: The closer you are the better it is. It gets a more busy behind the portrait distance.

Here are a few more shots showing the lovely rendering wide open:

A few shots this morning. My kids decided to stare me down.

There is a loss of contrast when shooting backlit subjects, but whether that's a detriment or not is up to you. I decided to process that shot in a more retro way as a result.

Lovely portraits, Jordan!

I have just checked the vignetting. Seems to be something baked into the RAW. However, RawTherapee unveiled that it is higher in reality.(1.3 vs 2.1 EV at f1.8).

Took a few business portraits yesterday.

The AF performance of the A7ii with the FE 1.8/85 in studio conditions is not good, I prefer the A6500 which I will use in the studio from now on. Aperture opens to estimated f/5.6 when shooting at f/8, don't know the reason. I will make a test for focus shift soon.

This is not what I wanted to hear. Thanks for letting us know. If you can test that would be great.

Jannik -

Can you elaborate a little on the studio focusing? I'm actually doing a business portrait shoot next Saturday, and I was going to put the 85/1.8 through its paces there, but I was curious if it was small errors that you don't notice until later, or just that it would be slower to lock in some cases, or perhaps something different.
