The new Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 makes the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8mm largely irrelevant if you own a camera with IBIS. While upgrading to the Sony G Master provides a measurable improvement. Sony has been making some interesting choices with their recently released/announced lenses, but I doubt anyone would be disappointed with any one of […]
Jason Lanier started his Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 review and so far he doesn’t see much of an advantage buying a Zeiss Basis 85mm f/1.8 over the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8.

Romeo assembled a very interesting comparison with images from the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM, Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II USM, Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, Jupiter 9 85mm F2, Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8 and last, but not least Leica Summilux-M 75mm f/1.4. So what is his opinion?
DXO just released their Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 test results and it looks like a good balance between price/performance for portraiture. This isn’t the sharpest lens you can put on a Sony A7, but it’s close enough for 99% of shooting. The design of the Batis lenses have interested me since their announcement and I hope to pick […]
