Sony Playstation Character Encyclopedia

I've had the Sony 85-1.8, the Sony 85-1.4 and now the Batis 1.8 and I like this lens the best of the 3. The sony 1.8 was sharp but flat, no character and the colors were predictable. The sony 1.4's bokeh was smoother than the Batis (not by much) but neither Sony lens can compete with the immediate color rendering from the lenses. The Batis lens is sharp, has the famous Zeiss color and character. It's outstanding!! You won't be sorry if you buy it.

My Sony Bravia is the best, and my PlayStation. The best gaming system with best television how can you go wrong.

I connect these headphones into a Sony Playstation Vita and listen to songs using the Sony Music Unlimited application. This gives me adequate emphasis of bass to help me determine the notes which are sometimes difficult to hear and decipher. When wanting to play along to the music simultaneously using either guitar or bass, I simply plug MDR-7506 through the headphone port on subwoofer/amp combo or DI box. The Playstation Vita is then connected to auxillary port using appropriate auxillary cable. I then have the option of muting the output to the internal speaker depending on whether or not I want my neighbors to hear. MDR-7506 also come with a pouch to carry headphones and cable in. The earpads are soft which make extended listening appropriate. Though, I am fearful these pads may breakdown or tear at a faster rate or higher percentage. This is ok since the earpads themselves can be replaced without buying a complete new product. Another concern is the thin wire connection run independently to the left and right speakers. They could become caught within the sliding adjustment piece that is used to accomodate different head sizes. No worry just something to be aware and cautious of in advance. Overall, the sound is excellent with great clarity and bass. The price was just right for my budget. I wanted to splurge and spend more on this component of my system. However, after testing several other higher priced models, I simply could not justify passing up the quality this unit provided. Legitimacy confirmed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received these not too long ago, set them up to the Sony PlayStation 4 and let me tell ya, the sound quality on these bad boys are top notch.

Sounds great on the PlayStation 4!!

Sony continues their roll-out of incredible glass! These are expensive optics, but you really do get what you pay for in the case of Sony lenses. I can't think of anything bad to say about this 85mm lens: it's unbelievably sharp, with beautiful rendering, bokeh and contrast, lack of chromatic aberration, and feels very well made. Love the clickable aperture ring. If I could make one criticism, it would be that the lens doesn't seem to have a particular 'character' in its rendering, the way some Leica lenses are reputed to have, or the way that the Canon 85mm f1.2 is famous for having. But I actually see this as a positive - this is simply a perfect portrait lens, and doesn't need any 'unique character' or 'wild bokeh.' Its lack of character, if you can call it that, makes it more timeless and versatile.

The character of the images obtained by the Voigtlander 21 is amazing and stand out from the blend quality of the native Sony lenses. Being a manual focus lens, this lens is obviously not ideal for quick action/sports (21mm would not suit that type of photography anyway) but for everything else, it is a joy to use. While being manual, the lens has contacts with the camera transmitting EXIF data - which saves time in post-processing (don't have to add it manually). The click-less aperture makes it ideal to use for video and the wide angle alleviate the need for auto-focus (at f/8.0, the hyperfocal distance is about 2m/6ft meaning that everything from 1m/3ft to infinity is in focus on a Sony a7R4)

lens has nice character on sharp sony sensors. slightly warm rendering. really fun wide angle lens.

This lens is just fantastic in image color, character and sharpness and on the Sony A7R III instant magnification makes focusing very easy. For a moving target I then would zone focus.

The Samyang 45mm is a great value lens with character. With the Sony a7iv it has quick & accurate AF. Great field of view - wider than a 50mm without the distortion of a 35mm. Renders beautiful images with soft bokeh. For best performance, buy the Samyang dock to update the firmware. Lens is even better with current version firmware. Highly recommend.
