My experience using the EF 85mm II F/1.2 so far At first, I was shooting mostly at f/1.2 and did have some issues with the sharpness of the images, especially when trying to capture a full body photo.

Advice on the EF 85mm II F/1.2 First time using this lens and I did have some issues with nailing the focus, it was an event where there were moving subjects though.

85mm Best Portrait Length? Hello, very new photographer here so pardon my ignorance. I recently purchased a Sony a6600 and was wondering about the best prime focal length for portraits. I keep reading it’s 85mm, but since my camera isn’t full frame, is this still the case? Do I need a 85mm or is something like 50mm going to get the same effect? Thanks, submitted by …

Sony 85mm F1.8 in 2023 Is the Sony 85mm F1.8 still worth it in 2023 ? Found a deal for it at $350 and was looking to add a budget 85mm since I don’t shoot it often when I have a 24-70 or a 70-200 .

Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8 vs Sigma 85mm DGDN Art f1.4 I’m considering purchasing a new (to me) 85mm portrait lens for my Sony a7iv. I have two options: a used Sigma 85mm DG DN Art f1.4 lens priced at $900 and a used Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8 lens priced at $650. I’ve heard that the Sony lens performs just as well as the Sigma. I’ll be using the lens for portrait and video work as a hobbyist, occasional…

Nikon 24-85mm 3.5-4.5 G lens has something rattling inside and gets stuck to then cause the lens not to zoom in or out. Then I shake it loose and I am then able to move it. It almost sounds like a loose screw inside. It’s never been dropped. Anyone know how to much it would be to get it fixed? Nikon wouldn’t give a price without sending it in, same for a local authorized dealer. Just want to see if repairing is worth it. Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/gadgetgearnerd
