Super sharp lens, well build and great pics it's a must have. I bought the canon version to use on my Sony A7ii using the Sigma MC11 although can use any cheap adapted as there and no electronic connections. I bought this version just in case I go back to canon and offers more flexibility. I'd recommend doing the same rather than getting the emount version. Don't worry about focussing...must be harder with canon but with Sony with focus peaking and focus zoom it's quick and simple. Hit focus every time.

If you want a really sharp image at f1.4 you need to spend a lot more money, but this lens is excellent value. Attached was taken at f1.4 1/800 at ISO 100 on Sony a7ii using focus peaking

With its manual focus, this lens is ideally suited for video and film making as you can pull focus very smoothly and accurately. (Even the best autofocus systems hunt and they cannot give you the same manual control as a dedicated manual lens can.) The f1.4 aperture gives luscious out-of-focus backgrounds while still giving sharp enough subject imaging with just a hint of dreamy softness. Stopped down a little more and it is tack sharp. There is no noticeable distortion with this lens and of course its 85mm focal length is perfect for just the right amount of image compression and presence for close ups and head shots you need for filming and portraiture.

Excellent lens for your money. Very sharp and mine has the focus confirmation chip which works well enough. It encourage me with my manual focusing skill as I have not manually focused a camera since the 80's. It is not easy as the camera had the prism that indicates when it is in focus and new dslr does not have this facility which makes accurate focusing very difficult and the focus confirmation chip does the job of confirming when you have the fous right (technically same job as the prism in old cameras)
