Verdict
Pick the Laowa 105mm if you need the longer focal length and softer STF rendering at a lower price. The Sony 85mm f/1.8 stays the better choice if you prioritize a brighter aperture, lighter weight, and native autofocus compatibility. Opt for the Sony if shallow depth of field and faster focusing are critical; go for the Laowa if budget and unique bokeh effects matter more.
