Great video, and thank you for the information! I don’t think as a complete beginner, the ZB is worth the extra cash over the Sony, especially since I’m bundling a mirror less camera and the lens. Maybe once I know my way around things, I can upgrade. What filter did you use?
I got the Sony 85 1.8 due to the not so noticeable sharpness between the 2, but ... as a new wedding photographer with changing weather patterns I regret not getting this cause of the weather sealing. 😓 thanks for the review 🙏🏽
@@DreamDuoFilms awesome! Do update! I heard the sigma 85 1.4 has a significant distortion which is not corrected in video. Would like to hear your take on that.
you really don't need to spend that much for a vlogging lens so if you have a sony APS-C camera, check out the sigma 16mm f1.4 or my personal favorite - samyang 12mm f2 which is also the perfect wide angle and astrophotography lens. Hope this helps
After a few years of being a filmmaker i'm really starting to believe that sharpness doesn't matter at all when it comes to video. sure thing the sigma is sharper, it has always been the sharpest but man, would you ever pause a Hollywood movie to inspect how sharp the image is? of course not :D
2:25 Mountain sillhoutte. No wonder why Zeiss is known for image quality. Amazing video. Just bought Sony A7 M4 , surely this lens will be in my bag.
Just pick this lens up in mint condition for $700 and absolutely love it, it's now the lens that's always on my camera.
I got this Zeiss Batis Sonnar 85mm 1.8 used for US$550 (taxes included) two month ago and I love it, I can recommend this Zeiss Lens.
I had the 85mm f1.8 sony fe. After trying the batis 85mm i was amazed at the difference in colorrendering. It was absolutely massive
I just bought this lens yesterday for 600$ in pristine condition.. and I was blown away buy the performance of this lens.. I highly recommend this

Means what do you think zeisis 85mm is better than sony 85mm
Akhilesh Rupaji A Big Yes :)
Don't worry, the sony is still an amazing lens, there is no reason to switch or regret your purchase ;)
Just got this pristine condition for $450 box and everything included its an amazing lens amazing portraits great bokeh
2:42 great footage brotha! is the "near silent" good enough for using a shotgun mic on top?
Yep, absolutely! Thank you for the wonderful comment! 😊
Very informative video! Thanks a lot😊🙏🏻
so ı just stuck between samyang 85 and zeiss 85?which one has better image quality and sharness?
Nice and useful video! Thank you for sharing!
What mic you using on that camera in this video
RODE wireless GO i think
Am I the only one who prefers old school lens designs? My favorite lens aesthetic is the canon fd line
I have sigma 56 with a6400 and I am looking for another lens, would it be worth buying?
Is this lens is compatible with Sony a7r and a7s?
Can I use it for vlogging ?
it is compatible but it's not a vlogging lens :D too tight of a focal length, you will only see your nostrils with it
I’m really trying to find a fast autofocusing 85mm lens for video. Is this lens good in autofocus for video?
Yeah absolutely, the autofocus is spot on as you can see in the broll sequence. It was all AutoFocus only
@@DreamDuoFilms ok thanks so much! I bought a samyang and the auto focus is horrible on it.
Do u still recommend this lens vs the new sigma 85 1.4 dg dn?
I’m thinking of buying one soon, looks promising
@@DreamDuoFilms awesome! Do update! I heard the sigma 85 1.4 has a significant distortion which is not corrected in video. Would like to hear your take on that.
Great lens bro ... keep going
Thanks, may have persuaded me to get one ;-0)
Do you have a Zeiss lens that you recommend for vloggjng? Thanks !

Hi everyone, I wanted to know if there was a better mount on this lens than the sOny 85mm?? thnx
You can get the Techart adapter to use the lens on Nikon cameras.
awesome lens bro! really amazing the footages
Focus ring is not that smooth, got some resistance to it.
It needs to have some resistance for me to call it smooth, because when it's too smooth it's a nightmare nailing focus on tight subjects ;)
It's always the saturation to pops out to me on German lenses.
I know this is a year old but I would argue the Sigma 85mm crushes the soul of the Zeiss 85mm. 🤓

@@DreamDuoFilms I didn’t mention sharpness. Just messing around.
Of course it does. It is 3 times heavier.
@@terryallen9546haha reason I sold my 85mm GM and bought the Zeiss
@@TheTrifeone My zeiss is hunting focus, tho. I think the blame is my a7. First model.
great video
thanks man
Ziess 85 has optical stabilization? Really?
why samyang...
สวัสดีครับ :D
