Thanks for reviewing alternative lenses for Sony FE cameras. It's great to see brands like Yongyuo, Viltrox, Samyang and others catch up to Sony, Sigma and Tamron image quality but at a more affordable price point for budget conscious photographers/videographers. Sharpness is definitely important to me and I do use DXO scores as reference prior to buying a new lens. Not many, if any, RUclips camera reviewers reference DXO enough so props to you for being one of the first or few who does.
When you're buying new lenses, just remember people; ''Sharpest'' does not mean ''best image quality.'' All these lens characteristics like sharpness, CA and so on, don't mean anything when it comes to overall image quality of a lens. Hasselblad for example has been making the best lenses in the entire market for over 150 years now and their lenses were never ''the sharpest!'' or had the ''best CA performance!'' and yet the image quality of photos taken with their cameras and lenses was always unmatched for not decades but almost two centuries... CENTURIES! Consumer grade manufacturers are chasing ''sharpness'' and ''eye af'' and other nonsense, while manufacturers like Hasselblad, Phase One, Angenieux, Cooke, Panavision, Leica, Zeiss and so on and so forth, have never had supreme sharpness lenses and yet their lenses always had legendary status image quality, well above the consumer grade manufacturers. Don't get fooled by marketing nonsense and buy quality products if you want your images to actually look good and not just be sharp.
Wow! I was completely unaware of this one! I have a pile of their LED panels in storage, but had no idea. Another great video!
Always creating entertaining videos that are informative!! Happy holidays we appreciate you!
Same to you!
Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. I was about to go do some house work, but then I saw that you had posted this so I had to put those chores on hold. Darn.
Hold those chores!!
same thing, buddy!😉
Cheers so much Mark 😊
I will look into it whenever I upgrade or if I ever upgrade to full frame ❤
Hi Mark! Great video as always. I'm a beginner photographer, just bought my first camera (Lumix GX9) a year ago. I'm using it with Sigma 56mm f1.4 which on micro four thirds equal to 112mm focal length. I'm also using it for street photography and this combo delivers great results as to my taste.
that’s a great combo!!
Good luck, Mark!
Thanks a lot for video.
Thanks Mark for the review and the lens is on my wish-list, and I been seeing mix reviews.
Super cool that you shared the shy part. I share your non-traditional approach to street photography, sometimes shooting w 200mm! Thanks for your videos - they really are excellent and quite polished. One shiny bit of polish you could add is saying "Youngnou sent the lens to me" instead of "Youngnow sent the lens to myself". Myself is the reflexive, meaning you have to have started the sentence with the word "I". I gave this lens to myself because I am a good person. She gave this lens to herself. Thanks again for your contribution, Mark!
Mark, love this video once again. I appreciate all the content you put out. Btw, on a totally unrelated lens, what do you think is a good alternative to eh 16-55 f2.8 sony aps-c lens? Thanks in advance
The sigma 18-50 is an excellent alternative. the Tamron 17-70 is also great if you need more reach. but it’s a bigger lens
Great review, thank you.
I got mine a couple months ago and have been using it on my full frame Sony. i loved it immediately.
The lens is on my wish-list and I been seeing mixed reviews about this lens. I am Nikon Z camera. The other reviews was from 3 years ago from Christopher Frost.
Thank you for the great find. This is on my wishlist for future purchases. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving (American 🤣)
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Oh right. For a second, I forgot you were Canadian. Lul
i love their 50 1.8 and 35f2 also. those are the lenses i started with as a photographer. speedboosted on my sony apsc bodies ❤❤👍👍
Hello Mark , I just bought this lens because of your video about how sharp the lens is . I have their 16mm f1.8 and it is really sharp . This lens cost $369 on AMAZON but I bought it here in one of the famous Asian E-commerce platform for only $240 . It is quite a huge discount on this updated version. I'm happy , thanks mark ☺️.. I'm currently on vacation here ..
Great to hear!!
Please share the link for the e commerce website
Thanks Mark!! I was looking for an 85 for my Z mount and ultimately want a f1.2, so didn’t want to spend too much now. On top of that, your pixie dust magic got an additional 20% off the lens for me!!
You are a BEAUUU-TIFUL man!
🤣🤣
Thank you so much for this recommendation , I love your videos !!!!!!!!!
Martin from Montreal
Hopefully you can find one in stock!!
Thanks for the review! I will buy it today! :)
Thanks Mark! I have this lens but version 1 (the more plastic with red ring), sharpness was always very good on it, but the autofocus was a pain…, however you mention (and I totally forgot) that there was a firmware update so I rushed to computer and updated…Wow it’s like I got a new lens. Autofocus is now quite good, much better than before. Almost a Christmas present! 🎉
awesome - gotta love those updates!!
Love the 85mm focal length. Before having kids, my go-to setup was a 35 and an 85. Classic.
Mark, seeing your video and i think you are not just good but Great! . I think there are alot of them also quite good in presentation but I think you are best in term of expression and lively to watch throughout to the end of video.
Thanks!! That means a lot to me.
Nice review. Was looking for a tele for my a6400 and my first choice was the Viltrox 75 1.2. I hope you can compare this with the Viltrox 85 Mk II
The viltrox is vastly superior in every regard.
Wow interesting, thanks for the insight ! I might actually get this and replace my Tokina 85/1.8 which hangs the A74 now and again, I'm too lazy to send the lens for a firmware update. The Tokina is more or less identical to the Viltrox. The Yongnuo is actually cheaper than the Viltrox in China.
Yongnuo - очень удобно прошивать и прошивки выходят регулярно по мере обновления линеек камер
@@novikovgarage_SPB and onboard USB port is super convenient, I love that on my Viltrox lenses.
Wow! I’m a video shooter primarily for RUclips, and despite having a Sony ZV-E1, I know it’s a capable camera, yes no EVF; but for some simple photos of my kids I’ve loosely thought about a reasonably priced portrait lens and this may be just that! Tried a 50mm 1.8 but 85mm 1.8 would be better! I’ve got the 16-35 F4 PZ from Sony. This could be a powerful little combo!
At this point, I'm just buying what Mark tells me to buy, basically. ❤
Can you please make a video on a comparison between Sony 11 mm and sigma 16mm with A6700. Basically while vlogging how will the active stab crops both of them and is it usable. Thank you in advance.
Great! Another lens on my purchase list. Hey Mark, can I come crash in your studio when I get kicked out for buying too much Camera gear? LOL! Another great video bud!
of course!! Bring your cameras
Love my Sigma 56mm / f1.4 lens on my Sony ZVE10. Equivalent to 84mm / f2.1. Gets great bokeh!
an amazing lens!!
Hhello Mark very very intresting your review on the lens. I am in Canada would appreciate to get info. on where to buy it Thanks
Hey Mark. interesting video. Great info. Thanks. Amazon Canada has an 85mm with a red ring, released in 2020. Is it the same lens or a newer version?
It’s the same lens inside, but they have updated the 2020 lens with a new aluminum body. It will perform the same optically.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks for your response. The aluminum body is quite interesting. I may wait until it is available. Are this Yongnuo lenses and the Viltrox version comparable?
Hey mark! i love your videos and i got a ZV-E10 because of you, super happy with it, but i recently have been getting into street photography and i want something better than the kit lens.
Im a college student so im on a really tight budget (preferably under 200£) im hoping to get something on black friday, what do you recommend? thanks a million in advance!
for street photography, you can get the Sigma 30mm 1.4 amzn.to/47sz9mW or the Sony 50mm 1.8 amzn.to/47rmxMC
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks! will both of these work on the zve10?
yes. even though the 50 is a full frame - it will act p as a 50 apsc lens on your zv-e10. the sigma 30 is a regular apsc lens
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you :)
Thanks for the vid. I just bought it for my a6700. Will see if it blows me away. I shot it for under $ 300 from yongnou themselfs with free shipping, as it was currently discounted. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
Great review Mark, thank you very much for sharing! I just subscribe to your channel and I’m checking your affiliate links. Cheers.
Thanks - welcome aboard!!
Thx for the review Mark. Need your honest opinion, price aside, which is better, this or the viltrox 75mm f1.2?
For APS-C I would choose the viltrox - can't beat that 1.2!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thx for the clarity man, after confusing/poisoning me once again with another lens hahaha. Add to cart viltrox then!
Mark please stop doing this,,,, I am not able to buy lens from last 6 month 😅😅
haha - don’t buy them all (don’t be like me). But watch, write them down on a list, and choose the best ones after careful Mark Bennett watching. 🤣
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisI hear Mark is checking it twice.
😂
@markbennettcameracrisis how's this lens for manual focus?
Hey Mark, I currently have the ZV-E10 and am hoping to upgrade to the a6700. Do you think this lens would be a better option for my camera over the Sigma 56mm or Viltrox 72mm lenses? I’m hoping to do more portrait photography this year
On apsc specifically, I would get the Viltrox 75 or the Sigma 56 (but I would leave toward the viltrox)
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you for the great video again! Viltrox 75 is almost twice the price of Yongnuo. Is the difference compared to Sigma (and Yognuo) justifiable? I also have ZV-E10 and am looking for the best price/value portrait lens (I planned to buy Sigma 56). Oh, also, as there is a chance you will read it, thank you for making me buy four lenses already this year, heh. Cheers.
Yeah the Viltrox 75 is a Pro grade lens. If i have the budget, I would get that one for sure!
Thank you! @@MarkBennettCameraCrisis
I’m tempted. Was going to use the Sony 90 mm macro for portraits, but this is a good deal. F1.8 pops better than 2.8. It looks nice.
The 90mm Macro is so SLOW to find focus it is very frustrating, I had it for a while but sold it right away for the same reason... JFYI
The 90mm Macro it is slow to find focus, when u go far and close, but if u set the distance mark in lens and use adequaly you will have no problem, and the optics is SOOOOOOOO nice. I work with it in the film company, and it's amazing.
@@Pontcher It is sharp and good "When" you get it in focus... But in my opinion, and I did beauty work for over 20 years, it was frustrating to use and I sold it.. I can see if you are on a tripod and do not move at all it might work well. But for anything else it was not for me..
I love my 90mm macro lens. Autofocus is not an issue for me in photography specially portraits with good light (specially when you use focus limiter).
I actually want to get one 85 1.8 to make my gear lighter/compact, but it's hard for me to replace this macro lens as most of the time it the only one attached to my cam.
Reason- with this we always have the option to go close or use it as a macro lens.
I am new to photography and I have the Viltrox 75mm. Would you add the 85 mm lens to my kit
Just got mine and it's a killer lens. Loving the images I'm taking.
great to hear!!
I bought this to use with my sony zv-e10. But it has some errors that say cannot use with RAW or RAW + JPEG. It can only be use in JPEG only. Am i right or something wrong? I'm still learning apsc btw.
you cannot use the zoom rocker with raw - which is probably the error your seeing. This its a prime lens - so you don't use it like a zoom lens
you should do a review on their 50 and 35 !
I’ve got it for Canon RF and it’s my favorite and cheapest lens at the same time and I have the ef 85 1.4 L.
I noticed they had that out for a while!!
I want to buy 85mm lens but my cam sony zv e10 doesnt have IBIS / internal stabilizer. Is it okey to use 85mm lens non oss? Thanks for your advice
For photos - you will be ok - just make sure to keep your shutter speed higher enough. Do a shutter speed is 1/200 at least.
I can't remember, if you had the Viltrox 85mm 1.8 in one of your videos, but which one would you rather pick: Viltrox or Yongnuo?
Because of Black Friday I'm eyeing the S5II and wish there were these cheap and great lens options :D
I actually haven’t reviewed that Viltrox, but they make great lenses and that 85 has been reviewed well. Go with whichever one you can find cheaper!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks for the quick respond man! Now I have to go to make you stupidly rich 😁
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisI think he’s thinking about the apsc review you did, about your new favorite lens for photo🎉
When you started the video I thought you might be talking about my favorite high value 85mm f1.8, the LUMIX. I’m curious how this compares. I use the less common L mount system so the lens you’re fearing isn’t an option for me (sigma fp L camera)
that Lumix 85 is a good lens
Hey Mark. I know there's a price difference between this lens and the Viltrox 75mm that you raved about. Which would you say is better? I'm using an A6700.
I would get the Viltrox because on APSC - you get that 1.2 instead of the 1.8.
thanks@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis
Hey Mark. I wound up getting the Yongnuo because I’m considering buying a full frame next year and there were only 2 left on Amazon when your video aired. I got it Friday evening and it really is a great lens for the price. It wound up being on sale here in the US for around $295. Thanks for letting us know about it because I would have never tried a lens like this. The price would have actually been a deterrent for me as I would have assumed it was that price for a reason.
For everyone else looking for an 85mm, if you see this in stock, buy it. It’s definitely worth it.
What is the central resolution and corner resolution in lines per millimeter? Can you actually measure this as it was done by popular photography magazine? If so how, since I used to be able to do this to compare individual lenses in any make or model?
That is above my pay-grade 😂
Can I use this lens on my canon r50
there's one thing that these lens will not have and that's 3D pop, but then again very expensive sony lens don't have it and people still love the results so... amazing lens, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Sonys GM line of lenses was literally invented because of Zeiss and most GM lenses were made by zeiss manufacturing standards, that sony legally stole from zeiss when they were under the partnership contract, which expired in 2019. thats why you wont see any more zeiss lenses for sony and probably for any camera ever again. all sonys fault. anyway, that said, most sony GM lenses have the ''3d pop'' or whatever you want to call that look, including all of the ZA lenses and even some cheaper lenses like the 2016 version of the 50mm 1.8 and the newest version of the 35mm 1.8.
I am impressed and it seems more and more lenses of quality at very affordable prices are coming out of China will put the highly hyped and priced Japanese products to shame....I will henceforth buy and use Chinese made lenses...everyone reviewed give credit to the makers....
4th☝🏻🤓 Got a Zv-E10 a week ago thanks to your channel. Really enjoying it so far.
Great to hear!!
How does it compare to the Fuji 90mm f2
Is it available in Nikon F mount?
Until Sigma brings out a 85/90 1.4 of that size in their Contemporary line up specifically for APS-C, this lens might be a good option.
Fights against the Samyang 75 1.8 for me. Unfortunately very difficult to find in Europe. I'll keep an eye on it
Ali Express
his is great ! Thanks for the review! Perhaps you sold me this 85 mm lens! I'll buy it!
I use Yongnuo 16 mm f1.8 - I’m very pleased! it costs less than a lens from Sigma, and the quality is excellent! at the same time smaller and lighter! The last ten videos on my channel were shot on Yongnuo
I'll have to check it out!!
Have you had any problems with it jumping out of AF when shooting stills? I have to unmount and remount lens to get it to work again. Unsure if this is something that can be fixed with a software update or not.
I haven't had that/ Are you up to date on the latest firmware?
I tried updating firmware but my MacBook isn’t recognizing it when I connect via USB. I’ve contacted Yongnuo but no response yet.
I have finally bought a little dougie!! Thank you mate 😊👊🏼
congrats!,
I live in Germany and it looks like its hard to find exactly this model. I only find the one with the red strip and one without it, but still with YNlens print on it. Is it very new?
Yes, looks like the metal one is sold out everywhere. The one with the red ring is the same lens, but isn’t in a metal body. but it will perform the same optically.
Perhaps I need to check this out, could make a really great macro on my APSC Sony a6600, the sharpest lens I have ever seen is my Sigma 56mm man that's so sharp.
the 56 is so great and so sharp
Hey Mark! Just started watching your stuff! Tell me where ya from in Canada? (province). Luv to meet up someday and talk with a Canadian creator like me.
I bought this lens because this video. Your convincing power is sure legit! 😄
It’s a great lens for the price. Let me know how you like it!!
Bro plz review 7artisans 25mm cine lens with canon R10
How is the AF in low light? 3rd party lenses tend to have more issues vs native in this case and all reviewers do the test in well light conditions.
This is a good point - I will do a yeah to head of budget 85 and include lowlight focusing
Have you tried their 16mm? Great vid mark!
Not yet!
Mark, what lens is the 85mm equivalent for a Canon rebel T6?
Around a 55 or 56. (55 X 1.6 = 88)
I do love an 85 , my fave is the Samyang 85mm F1.4 mk I beautiful vintage look to it . Have you tried the Meike 85mm F1.8 its hundred bucks cheaper than the Yongnuo ?
Haven't tried the Mike yet - trying to get one in
I have all the Samyang primes. The new 135 1.8 is wonderful.
Love how there are plenty well performing budget friendly options from third party lens makers for E mount. One thing not shown here are the bokeh characteristics when stopped down to f2.8 - f4 onwards. Bokeh balls turns from nice and round into octagonal shaped while Sony remains rounder. At this price point, can't really have it all.
yes, the blades become more visible stopped down.
Shitty. I was wondering for change from Nikon Z 85 1.8s because cats eye bokeh....
For the price of $235 here in Philippines, I guess it's not that bad
Wonder if there's different versions of this lens...i see some for sale but on the side says YNlens....has a different logo
That’s the version (The YN) without the metal build. Optically it should perform the same
What about their 50mm full frame lens for Sony?
This channel is criminally underrated
right?? 🤣
Although many would have guessed, it took 3 minutes to say exactly what lens the video is about! Perhaps it's intentional, like a tease. But - as in that old-fashioned journalistic lesson, get the key facts in the first paragraph! Despite that, still useful and entertaining, so thanks. 💜
how do you compare this to the viltrox 85mm f1.8 II?
I actually haven't reviewed that one - I will try and get it in
Hey Mark, can you make a comparison with Viltrox 85mm 1.8f FE
I will try to get one in
It has 'good chromatic aberration'?
Viltrox 85mm 1.8 and Yongnuo 85mm 1.8 comparison?
HI...What about video? Eye AF during video? greets and thanks for this man!
The eye af works yes, but it s not a usual focal length for video
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis So many cine lenses go up to 150 and above?! A complete set of Arri Master primes would be great, but one problem: I don't want to sell my organs 🙂. Right now I got the Firin 20, the inexpensive Sony 50 1,8 and want to slowly build up prime lenses, that also work well with the a7s3 when I'm doing video work. I'm a ''hybrid one man show''- shooter, so all lenses need to work in both applications. Mainly doing fotos, and with my trusted D850, but for video or when I just want a small bag I take the Sony - sometimes with Ronin RS3 and Sennheiser MKE600 or for interviews and such Sennheiser wireless with tascam 4 channel DR70...
This seems like a very good choice for the 85 range. Thanks again
indeed a steal . . many Thanks Master to your honest review
Imho DxO test way to few lenses - e.g. where's the test of the Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN for L Mount and Sony? They only have a test for the old HSM DSLR version..
yes - the don’t have a complete catalog for sure, but hearing this lens tested so well (and better than the two 85 from Sony) that was enough for me to want to check it out
Tbf, both Sony 85GM and 85 1.8 are over 6 years old at this point, which are overdue for a major update.
they need updates for sure
Could you make a comparison video with the viltrox 85mm?
Greetings from Germany.
I will try
It looks like Sony SEL 50mm f1.8 oss lens for APSC series. Just bigger. The result seems similar though :P
it does look like that!!
About to get my 1st Lens for my Sony ZVE10, from India So this one($680 equivalent) or the Sigma 56mm 1.4($435.)
if the sigma is cheaper - get that
Is this lens available for Sony and Nikon only?
yes
Damn! Had to buy this one. Your review and the Cyber Monday price made it a “no brainer”. The wife would like to have a chat with you however! 😳
don’t give her my email!!
How can you say that it has the highest rating at Dxo?
I said it's in their top 5 and it has the Highest ranking for sharpness ever. Rated number one for sharpness. Thought it was very clear.
Hey Mark, loved this video! I'll be picking up a Lumix 85 mm pretty soon for my camera.
Are you still working on that ultimate Wireless Lav comparison? Your video made me get the Hollyland Lark Max, and I've been absolutely loving it.
Great lens and it's on sale at the moment.
the max has my favourite sound quality
Its more affordable than the Viltroxx 75mm 1.2 and you highly recommend it for portraits.
Do we have a new king or is the Yongnuo just the prince we didnt know about? 👀
For apsc I would still choose the viltrox. you get that 1.2 and that can’t be beat
I HAVE heard of them! B&H Photo in NYC sells their lenses
Das perfekte objektiv für mft und Macro?
How does it perform on a 61mp sensor?
It did great on my 33mp A7IV but DXO MArk did all their tests on the A7RIV - so it performs great at high mp
100mm /105 mm is the best for portraits and my favorite focal length. I really wish there was more e mount options in that range. Besides the sigma 105 f1.4. There not much else
so whats the lens?
The extremally sharp yongnuo 85mm 1.8 for full frame e mount and z mount .
its a shame there is no 85mm for apsc. ive tried looking and simply cant find one
the viltrox 75 1.2 is one of my favourite lenses in history. try that one
Is this going to retire your Sigma 56mm f1.4 lens for street photography? I recently used the 85mm Sony lens (on my a6700) you held up at a Jefferson Starship concert at Yaamava Casino in San Bernardino, where it only snows in the mountains. It was not wide enough nor long enough. Wish there was a medium middle of the road zoom, about 50 to 100mm at f1.8. And this is where I get off on the A7CR as the magic camera. If I had that FF body, I could have gotten the whole scene and been able to zoom in via cropping. After what you said about the A7CR, I realized it is the Magic Camera. Nothing like it, except the A7R5.
For street apsc - I’m mostly using the viktrox 75 right now
Tucked waiting 3 minutes to find out what fkn brand you are reviewing. Which took for-fkn-ever for you to get to. Brutal review.
Wow already says unavailable. I assume it’s already sold out. Hopefully it come back soon. I want one for sure.
yongnuo says there will be more in 2 weeks.
