For the manual focus setting: is this focus by wire or physical? I mostly shoot with vintage full manual lenses and I'm used the more physical dynamic. Whenever I use my one focus by wire AF lens the different figuring feel drives me a little batty.
PIDA257CBFBK has a double linear AF motor itself that affords quick, quiet, and smooth focusing performance, and this motor also offers snappy manual focus performance for fine-tuned control with an intuitive physical layout that incorporates a customizable focus hold button and a physical AF/MF. You can easily turn manual focus on the lens and use the ring to have a smooth manual focus performance.

Does it hunt for focus like the 50mm f-1.8?

This lens does not have a body/lens rubber gasket, how can it be dust - and moisture-resistant?
The Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Lens is only resistant to light rain and windy conditions; it is not weather-sealed like Sony's GM line. We always suggest using a rain cover when it is raining, since it is not guaranteed to be 100% dust- and moisture-proof.

What is the difference between the common SEL85F18 and the SEL85F18/2 model here?
I'm not so sure they're the same lens. The model number is different, so there must be some difference between version 1
