SongRaw 85mm F1.2 MS Review | Huge Lens, Huge Performance​

Dustin Abbott






Pros:​

  • Outstanding Optical Performance:Exceptional sharpness, contrast, and overall image quality at various apertures, especially at F1.2.
    • Apochromatic (APO) design minimizes color fringing, delivering vibrant and accurate colors.
  • Competitive Pricing: At $649, it provides a compelling alternative to more expensive options like the Sigma and Nikon 85mm F1.2 lenses, which are priced at $1599 and $2996, respectively.
  • Well-Designed Build:Constructed with an aerospace-grade aluminum body, ensuring durability while maintaining a lightweight feel compared to other high-end 85mm lenses.
    • Improved USB-C firmware update process enhances user-friendliness.
  • Impressive Bokeh: The lens produces beautiful, creamy bokeh due to its large maximum aperture and 13-blade iris, ideal for portrait photography.
  • Enhanced Detail Capture: Excellent performance in microcontrast, allowing fine details to pop even in challenging lighting situations.
  • Good Minimum Focus Distance: With a minimum focus distance of 85cm, the lens allows for creative close-up shots, achieving unique subject isolation.
  • Strong Build Quality: Sealed against moisture and dust, offering reliability in various shooting conditions.

Cons:​

  • Size and Weight: At 1120g, the lens is quite hefty, which can be cumbersome for extended shooting sessions or travel.
  • Autofocus Limitations: While the autofocus is accurate, it lacks the speed and smoothness found in lenses equipped with dual motors, leading to occasional focus issues.
  • Simplicity vs. Control: The absence of an aperture ring may deter photographers who prefer manual control for exposure settings.
  • Focus Noise: Autofocus operations produce a noticeable amount of noise, which may not be ideal for video recording.
  • Vignette: Heavy vignetting at wide apertures may require post-processing corrections to achieve uniform exposure, though this can be a stylistic choice for some photographers.
  • Limited Brand Recognition: As a newer lens brand, SongRaw may face skepticism from some potential users regarding reliability and support compared to established brands.
  • Focus Breathing in Video: Autofocus performance for video, especially during significant focus changes, can result in distracting movements, making it less suited for dynamic video scenarios.
