Great points you made here. I was really considering this lens because of the price but I found a middle ground of almost "GM quality" from the new Sigma Art 85mm 1.4 DG DN (Ordering mine this week)

Nice, that lens will probably be great, Sigma is good at that almost GM quality lenses

The 85mm f/1.8 is really loved by a lot of Sony shooters because of the price and quality for that price (me included) but I have to agree with your points. The minimum focus is really starting to bother me as I make more CZcams videos and film more weddings and the chromatic aberration is a lot worse compared to my other lenses. Just waiting for the 85mm GM II to come out in a few months and then I can finally retire this guy. Great video man!

Totally fair. When I was first getting into the Sony ecosystem, I wanted the 85mm GM but according to pretty much everyone, it's just not really all that much better than anything else, and apparently it's older than this one. An 85mm GMII would be a very welcome addition I think
