AstrHori 85mm f/1.8 II

Unboxing and field test of the AstrHori 85mm f/1.8 II lens. Evaluated portrait bokeh rendering, center-to-corner sharpness, and color rendition. Shot across both indoor studio strobe setups and outdoor natural light environments, using matched framing and focal planes for systematic comparison. Wide open at f/1.8, center sharpness is solid, bokeh roll-off remains smooth with well-controlled optical vignetting, and color reproduction leans neutral with generous post-processing headroom—making it a dependable budget-friendly prime for portrait work.
