It's late, and I am watching a lens review. I never held a camera in my life.
@kevinrtres
Sony 85mm f/1.8 works just fine for weddings. The only people who care about the bokeh or extreme sharpness are the lens-owners.
@arhon888
I have the Sigma 85 1.4. Exceptional lens. The new Sony GM, in some ways, makes me appreciate my Sigma even more, given how a small the differences are between Sony's latest and greatest. Also, I got mine pre-loved at fraction of the price so able to invest the savings into other things.
@joshthelegend2132
I gotta say your video makes me realize how good the sigma one is 😂
@JamesSingleton-l7o
I carry lenses with me all day at weddings, and honestly, I love the choice to keep these things light weight and portable. I stopped using my 135 1.8 because it was too much extra weight to carry around.. Keeping my Sigma 85 for now.
@bert1913
I just retired so I thought I would give photography a try. I just bought the Sony A7RV, Sony 85mm GM 2 f/1.4 and the Sony 35mm GM f/1.4 Whenever I start a new hobby I hate upgrading later
@arnaudmilner238Wildbillhickock
I started photography in 1990 with a Ricoh xr-10 and I have quite a collection of 35mm film cameras and lenses still. I have watched many of the people on YouTube talk about the new digital cameras that have come out since film went digital. I have listened to many others who also talk about digital cameras and out of ALL OF THEM I HAVE FOUND THAT THESE 2 people are the most NON-BIAS OF ALL OF THEM. This is the best thing I can say about them and what they are doing for the digital camera world.

6:59 having a 1.2 option would be nice, but canon doesn’t give you a 1.4 option and that extra $1000 between a 1.4 GM and RF 1.2 is a big chunk of change to cough up for the extra 1/3rd of a stop. Not to mention the size and weight of the RF because it’s a 1.2
@dojomediaboss
I have the Sigma, no plans on trading that one in any time soon. Just got the Sigma 50 1.2 as well, great combo.
@justphotography2
The color of the older GM😢. In my opinion, the Sigma is still the winner because of size and cost. Yeah, I know about distortion and still think it’s super sharp corrected.
@RohannvanRensburg
Would love to see eye AF tracking comparison for photos with these lenses. Do they keep up with newer AF performance in camera bodies? Sigma often lags behind in this department.
@DieHardEddieEdwards
I have the Sigma and I would never consider buying another 85mm lens. The GM I was so bad when I rented it. And the quality of the Sigma is excellent. There’s no way there’s a $900 difference in quality in most conditions.
@etra0516
I recently got the Meike 85mm f1.4 and I was incredibly surprised with the results. It has nothing to envy to my 35mm GM regarding lens quality imo unless you're really pixel peeping, do you think you'd be willing to compare it?
@uhhnush
love your unbiased and comprehensive reviews, please keep em coming!
@nathanaelkugler777
I would have loved a photo AF comparison, especially against the sigma!
@Zakna
Had the Sigma 85 1.4 DGDN for a year+ now. Happy wtih it. Might get the 105 1.4 again as Sony has no option there.
@TP-Fotografie
I have the Sony GM 85mm 1.4 and the Sony FE 85mm 1.8 and I am happy with both of them. The FE 85 mm 1.4 is a lightweight. In weight and price.
@AndreiGrigorean
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's only 1/3 of a stop difference between F1.2 and F1.4
@ricardoromanach
I’ve got the Sigma 85 1.4, it’s on my camera almost always! It has noticeable pincushion distortion, but that’s easily corrected. For me, the results speak for themselves so I’d go for the cheaper option here!
