Great lens--performs well in low light. The only slight knock is that there can be some VERY slight CA in high contrast situations. SOOC images are incredibly sharp--jpegs need no sharpening at all. RAW files are only sharpened after being resized. Thing is built like a tank.

There is absolutely nothing not to like about this lens. Yes, it's a tad on the heavy side, but I hold my hand left hand under it while shooting and it's perfect fit. Smooth is the word that comes to mind when I think about bokeh with this lens. The out of focus area just seems to blend into and away from the subject. Maybe I'm not saying it right, but my shots are beautiful. If ever there was a lens that could make an amateur portrait photographer look like a pro, this is it. On my Alpha 550 85mm translates into 125mm and for me, I think that's ideal for shooting faces.
The lens is a bit expensive, but if you spend as much time behind the viewfinder as I do, then you'll get your money's worth. This lens focuses fast, holds the focus, gives you colors that are true and photos that are sharp. If you can afford it, I can't recommend this lens highly enough, Sony & Zeiss have come up with a lens most people only dream about owning.

This lens is phenomenal. I was a bit hesitant about purchasing it simply due to price tag, but with a daughter on the way and with the sale of some other equipment, I was able to make it happen. This lens is amazing. My daughter is 3 months old now and I have taken 100s of professional quality photos.
Pros:
- Razor sharp.
- Fantastic colors.
- Amazing bokeh.
Cons:
- Heavy (which I consider a pro, due to the excellent build quality)
I highly recommend this lens. I also have the zeiss 16-80mm, and the sony 100mm 2.8. While both are great lenses, the 85mm zeiss rarely leaves my camera anymore.

Sony's Zeiss Planar 85mm/1.4 is among the sharpest lenses I've ever seen. I've long been a fan of Zeiss medium format glass - particularly the Zeiss lenses for the Contax 645. Not only is this lens incredibly sharp, but somehow even captures a "medium format" look and feel.
Also recommended are Sony's Zeiss 24-70mm f2.8 Sony 24 -70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T Zoom Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Cameras and Zeiss 135/1.8 lenses Sony SAL-135F18Z 135mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T Telephoto Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera in an growing line-up of amazing Sony flagship lenses.

I am astonished by this lens, as well as its sibling the 135mm f/1.8 lens Sony SAL-135F18Z 135mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T Telephoto Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera. Each lens is razor sharp at its widest aperture. A discussion of this lens, as well as of the Minolta 85mm f1.4 lens, may be found at the Photozone site. Compared to the Minolta lens, this lens is sharper and exhibits less vignetting, although it does exhibit slightly more chromatic aberration but to no serious extent.
