A unique short telephoto with distinct classic appeal, the Sony E-mount Velvet 85mm f/1.8 from Lensbaby produces a mid-20th century-inspired image quality that is well-suited to portraiture. Characterized by a smooth, glowing aesthetic, this lens's softness can be controlled by stopping down in order to produce a range of effects from soft and dreamy to sharper and crunchier at smaller apertures. A 12-blade diaphragm also contributes to the lens's aesthetic, and helps to produce a smooth bokeh quality to suit shallow depth of field imagery. Additionally, the manual focus design affords a working distance of 9.5" with a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:2 to benefit working with close-up subjects.
- Short telephoto portrait-length lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however it can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.
- Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture affords greater control over depth of field for working with shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques, and also benefits working in low-light conditions.
- Inspired by classic portrait lenses from the mid-20th century, this lens is designed to produce an ethereal glowing quality with soft, smooth tonality that is well-suited to portraiture.
- Softness can be controlled by stopping-down the lens: when stopped-down to f/16, the image exhibits a smooth quality with greater central sharpness.
- A working distance of 9.5" along with a 1:2 reproduction ratio suits working with close-up subjects.
- Manual focus design with a smooth, dampened focusing movement is complemented by engraved focus distance indicators.
- A 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth bokeh quality that is ideal for selective focus imagery.

Unusual, unique look for cheap.
In most ways, this is simply an inexpensive Chinese quartz watch. As a watch collector, it's simply not the kind of thing I would be interested in. But, it is unusual in good ways.
It's all stainless and the case is 39mm while the lug width is 20mm which is pretty normal for a dress watch. It's powered by a Japanese quartz movement giving three hands with day/date. As one can expect at this price, the crystal is mineral glass. The bracelet is a solid link type with a butterfly clasp. I really don't like butterfly clasps but that's just me, it works okay. It has 30m water resistance. Crown is push-pull. Pretty standard stuff.
Then, the uniqueness drops on you! The crystal is faceted on the outside and the light really plays on it, especially with the sunray blue dial behind that! The dial is a combination of Roman numerals in gold on the even numbers and faux diamonds at the odd hour positions. It rides the edge of gaudy without going over IMO. The bezel has scallops which also reflect light as it moves. The case is all polish. The bracelet is just as unique. It is a little loose - jingly jangly as some pretty famous brands are. The bracelet is a combination of stainless and gold tone. The individual links are very well articulated and one row of the inner sections of the bracelet actually scalloped with a curve upwards at the ends - the opposite of what you'd expect but somehow it works and the unique touches all come together.
I'm not saying this is a great watch for watch collectors. But, if you're looking for a cheap dress watch that won't look like anyone else's and still has decent specs this is worth a look!

Great watch, looks good
I was worried about the watch looking too bulky and thick. It looks just right on my wrist and I have a 7 inch wrist. 10/10 watch, looks epic and was just what I wanted. Not too thick, not too thin, fits my needs perfectly.

good watch, great price, mediocre band
Accurate? Great price? it's a Casio!
Not the best looker, but darn easy to read. This is a stepping stone to an "easy reader" watch, with clear numbers on a high contrast background. Easy to set, this model is a good choice for traveling back and forth across time zones.
The big drawback (and likely the reason I was able to buy this watch as a return) is the watchband, which has 3 faults. The hasp is old school and it can be hard to open and close except when it opens unexpectedly. The corners of the links are not rounded, so they can bite into your wrist. And adjusting the size of the band is a PITA. All in all, I'm on the lookout for a replacement band.
[I have absurdly large wrists, but still needed to remove two links. Use a super small bladed screwdriver on the band and a paperclip for the springbar at the hasp. Open the band at the hasp, find and press down on bits of spring steel until you can slide them out of the watchband, remove links, reassemble the band. I'm reasonably handy but took 10+ minutes for the task.]
