Amazon - https://amzn.to/3K9VUW0 Brightin Star Storefront - https://amzn.to/41UDui0 Brightin Star Store - https://shorturl.at/gdecY (not affiliate) Pitched as an affordable fast prime, the Brightin Star AF 85mm F1.8, has a premium metal body, 11 aperture blades, a fast STM motor, click-less aperture control and promises high optical performance with Hoya lenses. It's a much more affordable prime lens v OEM makers. Currently it's available on E and Z mount. My review covers all the important areas, unboxing, optical tests, AF demonstration, and many image samples including portrait, action shots, and ln location pictures. All designed to help you see if this lens is going to suit your needs. I talk about what I like and areas that could be improved, as my review ethos is to be as neutral as possible.
