Great Lens

May 30, 2019

I picked up this lens to use for product photography on models, and it's perfect. You can be taking amazing portraits and with a quick flip of the macro ring you can get nice and up close to your subject. It's good for what i am using it for ( Jewelry), but definitely need studio lighting or full day lighting conditions. I don't feel the image stabilization on the lens really help much wish i was brighter, maybe if the STF was half the strength it is now it would make with lens really something amazing.

Great Portrait and Macro lens for flowers!

Apr 25, 2019

Spring is here and I was looking for a lens to do (pseudo) macro flower photography. (Dislike insects, so not interested in real 1:1 macro photography anyway). I was debating between Sony 90mm and this 100mm. Wanted the STF bokeh, but worried about the loss of light (i.e., you get f2.8 bokeh, but really light transmission is only at f5.6). Having seen the samples of 90mm, decided that it may be too sharp for portrait, and since I already have an... Show More

Next level lens

This is my first Sony G lens, I bought because of the quality and sharpness but still my expectation was low until I got it in my hands. I went nuts, its amazing.

Good for Sony shooters but there is better out there

Aug 2, 2018

I shoot both Sony a9's and Nikon D's. I wanted to see how this compares to my Nikon 105 1.4. Of course at 5.6 the bokeh is about the same. Maybe a bit smoother in the Sony and the edges softer. I then shot the same shot with my 105 at 2.2, 1.8, then 1.4 and the separation and blur was not even in the same playing field. Maybe a GMaster 85 1.4 is a better comparison. I know this lens gives great round bokeh balls but for what it cost and the limit... Show More

Perfect bokeh, near perfect lens

May 12, 2018

I've had this lens for about a year now. I own 200+ lenses and this is the best. The apodizing element not only renders the smoothest bokeh of any commercially produced lens, but also helps in-focus sharpness, which is outstanding. There also is near zero vignetting. The only issue is that there is a touch of axial CA... not that it's obvious given how smooth the bokeh are.

Then I saw her face. Now I'm a believer.

I didn't want this lens. I didn't need this lens. I figured it would be a bit redundant with my (much loved!) 85/1.4 GM. Then I happened to try one for a few minutes at a demo. Game over. This is a wonderful lens; really fun to shoot with! (And, for once, the results right off the card look a lot like the brochure and review shots.... :) ) It's a cheap shot to say I wish it were 20% cheaper and a stop or two faster. The fact is, Sony did a great ... Show More

Expensive but worth it..

Jun 7, 2017

I like carrying 3 full frame cameras with primes.. i love the sigma Art 24 f1.4 and sony 55 f1.8 so the 100 STF really fits in nicely with the 55mm. Everyone talks about the Bokeh but what i love the most is the sharpness and color/contrast.. photos just POP! by far my favorite portrait lens.

Great Bokeh

May 28, 2017

I really love the bokeh this lens creates. That said, I'm returning mine. In order to get that bokeh. You must use it in t-mode. Which reduces the effective f/2.8 to F/5.6. This is in no way a low light, or for that matter, a macro lens. If my work consisted mainly of portrait work. I'd keep it. But as it is, it's of limited use to me. And as such, not worth the high cost of this lens.

Background...GONE!!!

May 14, 2017

So I used this lens for the first time yesterday mounted on my Sony A7RII to take a high school senior's graduation pictures. The bokeh is sick. The talent looks like they were literally dropped in front of the scene. The separation is amazing. This is a specialty lens and not the best choice for low light situations. Be ready with flash, monolights, etc.

BOKEH

THIS LENS IS NOT ONLY GREAT FOR PORTRAIT, IT'S ALSO FANTASTIC FOR ALMOST ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT BOKEH. IT IS ALSO GOOD FOR REGULAR SHORT TELEPHOTO LENS, IT'S SHARP.

I would buy this again!

If you want your subject to be more a part of the background, yet have the background be very smooth, this is the lens for you. Sony GM quality too.
