Coming from you Christopher frostThis practical video completely checks how Make 85 mm F/1.8 Pro II Performs in real -world situations. Immediately, the frost notes that the quality of the build feel decent, with plastic body and metal mount, as well as weather-sealing for durability. The lens provides an aperture ring with different clicks, which is likely to reduce contingency adjustment, and includes a convenient USB-C port for easy firmware updates. Autofocus is silent and reliable, handling the subject well, although it may feel a bit slow in single-shot mode compared to constant autofocuses.
Frost found remarkable sharpness, especially at f/1.8 at the center. The performance of the corner was solid, although naturally soft wider open, but still effective given the budget value of the lens. When tested on APS-C, the sharpness is outstanding, suggesting that this lens can perform excellent for tight pictures or wide subjects. If you shoot the video, you will appreciate its minimum focus breathing, a good bonus in a lens at this price point.
