The Sony FE 85mm F1.8 is a compact full-frame E-mount portrait prime released in 2017. It pairs a bright f/1.8 aperture with a light 13 oz body, fast linear-motor autofocus and a 2.6 ft minimum focus distance. It is the value portrait lens for Sony full-frame and APS-C bodies, where it behaves like a 127mm equivalent. Against the heavier, pricier G Master 85mm it gives up some edge sharpness and weather sealing, but reviewers rate it highly for sharpness wide open, smooth bokeh and quick, quiet focusing.
