This week I test the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 STM II against it's closest rival, the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 using my Sony A7III to find out which of these options is the best budget, medium telephoto autofocus lens. The Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 STM II is priced at just Β£320 ($399), whilst the Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 costs Β£505 ($599), so both of these lenses are very well priced for anyone shopping for an 85mm prime on a tight budget. But are they any good?
