The Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE II is a lightweight and compact short telephoto lens perfect for portraits and low-light situations because it combines cutting-edge optics with sophisticated handling. It accomplishes size and weight reduction in its second generation while enhancing optical and autofocus performance. It uses a series of high-refraction and extra-low dispersion elements to create a glass surface that produces smooth, cream-like bokeh. It has 11 optical elements, divided into 8 groups. The lens has a nine-bladed aperture diaphragm for the same purpose. An STM motor has been added to the autofocus system, which acquires subjects quickly and quietly and can be controlled in a variety of ways with the help of a programmable AF Lock button and focus ring. The entire metal body of the lens has full weather sealing to keep out moisture, dust, and other impurities.
- Prime normal-length lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras but can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 75mm equivalent focal length.
- Fully customizable focus ring and AF Lock buttons provide a new layer of controls, allowing you to tailor the lens exactly for your style of shooting
- Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.
- Internal focus design along with weather sealing ensure dust and moisture resistance.
- The integrated autofocus motor works in conjunction with Sony cameras' focusing systems for quick, accurate, and precise AF control. Manual focus override is also available for refining your focus position.
- Nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
