Sony 85mm 2.8 wise to buy? - Johan de Moor - 10-07-2013 I want a prime portrait for my sony dslr Doubt about an macro or the sony 85 2.8 sam Anyone some words about it? Pos and cons? Sony 85mm 2.8 wise to buy? - Brightcolours - 10-07-2013 Which DSLR? APS-C or FF? Depends on what you look for, of course. On APS-C 85mm is a long portrait lens. I prefer the long end of the portrait range. But some like the shorter portrait lenses with the wider view, and then the Tamron 60mm f2 Di II macro might be a better option. And then there is the amount of subject separation you want. If the maximum of f2.8 is fine for you, it is a fine lens. Alternatively look at the Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro lenses, as they also double as 1:1 macro lens. Sony 85mm 2.8 wise to buy? - Johan de Moor - 10-07-2013 Thanx The tamron is twice the price..... I already have the sony 50 1.8 for the short ends but i like and sometimes prefer a longer lens Its for apsc.... Do you know which af is faster : tamron 90 or the sony 85???

Sony 85mm 2.8 wise to buy? - Johan de Moor - 10-07-2013 Ok And which do do recomend The new sigma 105 hsm Or The new tamron 90 vc? Sony 85mm 2.8 wise to buy? - Brightcolours - 10-07-2013 I don't know which is better. All macro lenses are good. Maybe you have a camera shop nearby where you can try them out, concerning AF speed and such? Sony 85mm 2.8 wise to buy? - Rover - 10-07-2013 At this rate (looking up to the rather more pricey new macros) you might as well consider a SIGMA 85mm f/1.4 lens for portraits. I never had it, only used for a little while (Canon mount), and it looks like a winner. Decently sharp wide open and pretty good by f/1.8 I hope to get one eventually. Sony 85mm 2.8 wise to buy? - Johan de Moor - 10-07-2013 Rover No doubt that the sigma 85 is a good lens but almost twice the price from the tamron.... I want to choose between the tamron 90 (eisa award winner 2013-2014) and the sigma 105 hsm Sony 85mm 2.8 wise to buy? - Klaus - 10-07-2013 I am planning to test the Tamron in late October.
