The manual focus doesnt work. I tried it on two different Sony A7Riis, a A6000 and a A6500 and it was the same problem. IT went to Precision Camera for repair and upon return it worked for one use and then ti stopped working again. A very expensive lens for this kind of problem.

Like some of the other reviewers on here I was suprised by the auto focus noise at first but I soon learned that it wasnt out of the norm form lenses that have a piezo motor. This is a very large piece of glass in here. Also, this issue with the noise and "scratching" was intensely debated and addressed on other forums including dpreview, sonyalpharumors, and fredmiranda. The issue was put to bed with lensrentals dot coms complete teardown of the lens. You dont have to take my word for it just do a search. I was one of the people that was concerned about the lens but since that time my fears have been addressed. Im pretty used to the sound and I barely notice it when Im out streetshooting. Ambient noise pretty much drowns it out. My understanding is that when compared to other 85mm f/1.4 autofocus lenses from Canon / Nikon the sound isnt out of the norm. I love the image quality with this lens. It is once of the nicest lenses in my kit at this time. I shoot with an a7ii right now, so the autofocus is not as fast as with mine as it would be on the a7rii or the a6300. Ive uploaded sample images. The first three are not edited. The last two had some edits in lightroom cc.

This lens is a beast! The images that it produces are amazing! The bokeh is insane. People are constantly asking me what lens and camera do I use when they see my photos. I have it paired with my Sony A7III and it is my go to portrait lens. I am very pleased with my decision to go with the 85. 1.4 G Master despite it’s hefty price tag. Well worth the investment!

Seriously amazed by the quality of this lens and the IQ that it can achieve on an A7RII. Somehow sharper than the 135 f/2L I was using earlier

Too heavy but great bokeh. My copy had little stain on glass. Highly doubt Sony QC

An amazing lens. Besides the size which isnt a big deal, there is nothing bad. And if you get that 1.4 action them use some hss or go old school with a ND filter.

This produces excellent portraits with just the right amount of blur of everything other than the subject.
