Kase 85mm f/1.4 Reviews
Lovely, puffy bokeh in a small, light, inexpensive and feature rich lens.
After watching YouTube reviews I gave this lens a chance over the Viltrox because the bokeh balls are larger, puffier and because the lens is substantially smaller and lighter. The Viltrox is a little sharper corner to corner, and focuses slightly faster, but that is not what is most important to me when talking about an 85mm f/1.4 that I will use for portrait and bokeh art. What is most important to me is the bokeh, color, size and weight. Now after using this lens for a couple of weeks, I am very happy with my decision. The rendering is just exquisite. The sharpness and focus speeds are more than good enough wide open, and are great stopped down. The smaller size and weight make this lens perfect for my Nikon Zf. It looks so good on the Zf, and I can fit this along with the 35mm and 50mm f/1.8S lenses in my ONA Rockaway Sling. So overall, if sharpness wide open is most important to you, get the Viltrox. Otherwise, get this one instead. This has me looking forward to what else Kase might be developing for the Z mount.
