Did you use a close-up lens?

No, I just shot most wide open or close to it at the MFD. It's a thing I like to do with fast lenses.

So I rented one of these for the weekend. I’m thinking about trading my B135 and FE 85 1.8 for the 85GM. Anyway, is the AF on this lens normally noisy? The copy I have makes quite a bit of noise, sounds a little grainy, is this normal?
It definitely isn’t anywhere near as nimble as the 1.8, no more cumbersome though than the B135. I haven’t pulled any images off the card yet though, so I haven’t yet made any iq assessments.

Yes, it's quite noisy.

Just bought a 3 month old copy from a forum member. Mine makes a tiny amount of noise but to me its barely perceptible. Focus on my A7R III was quick enough, perhaps a tiny bit slower than my Batis 85. Going to keep the GM

Took this one today. Wish I had more time to compose, but I met this gentleman and he was telling me about his late wife and wanted to show me a photo. Spoke to him for about 20 minutes and then asked if I could take his photo. He was more than happy to oblige.

just to be sure before investing money: it is not the same rendering as the FE 85mm f1.8? or it is somehow comparable?

If you want to get closer, the Marumi+3 Achromat works great with this lens.

When I need to get close I use the 90 mm macro lens.
