The design presentation says 'Auto focus lens'.
Im willing of see tests of this lens. Actually the inversion in cameras and lenses has harmed my economy, but this is an inexpensive option for E-mount, the Sony's native options start at U$500.
They have same glass, but AF lens

If you want portrait lens - Samyang 85mm is amazing (little soft for other stuff)
I know the Samyang, but for some situations an AF lens is important. I have some great manual lens for portrait like the Rokkor 58mm 1.2, but I love the large teles for photos, an 85 or 100 for example.
Thing is, Samyang has 85mm in AF version :-)
Look at the lens
