Checkout Sirui Aurora 85mm f/1.4 - https://store.sirui.com/products/sirui-aurora-series-85mm-full-frame-autofocus-lens. I decided to give it a try so I bought one and used it during my family trip this past weekend. I love every image captured by this lens. The bokeh rendering is amazing. Much better than FE85/1.8 (which I sold recently). AF may not be as fast as Sony lenses but I had no issues capturing my kids running around.



I just went out in the back yard for an example with the Sirui that I just received...Sharpness a hair below the 50mm 1.4GM, but I'm very pleased with the performance at F1.4. (Quick edit and crop below)

So from what I have read, this lens is designed similar to their cine lenses where rendering is prioritized more than sharpness. In my experience, though, it is plenty sharp.
