Samyang 85mm F1.4 AF Series II Full Frame Telephoto Lens for Sony E – Ultra-Sharp Autofocus, Smooth Bokeh, Weather-Sealed, Quiet Linear STM Motor, Custom Switch, Focus Hold Button

Description

The Samyang 85mm F1.4 AF Series II for Sony E-mount is a second-generation lens crafted for creators who value high image quality, control, and portability. Weighing just 509g and measuring 99.5mm, it’s the most compact large-aperture 85mm lens for Sony full-frame cameras. With its fast F1.4 aperture, this lens excels in low-light environments and provides excellent subject separation. The optical design includes 11 elements in 8 groups—featuring 4 High Refractive and 1 Extra-Low Dispersion element—to deliver sharp, high-contrast images. Samyang’s Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) further improves clarity and reduces flare in backlit scenes. The 9-blade circular aperture creates soft, natural bokeh without using any aspherical elements, resulting in smoother out-of-focus backgrounds and a more organic rendering of light. This makes it particularly well-suited for portraits and artistic compositions. Driven by a Linear STM motor, autofocus is fast, quiet, and accurate—ideal for both photography and video. Focus breathing is kept to a minimum, ensuring consistent composition when racking focus in motion shots. For added control, the lens includes a customizable Focus Hold Button that can be assigned to Eye AF or other camera functions, and a Custom Switch that allows for silent aperture adjustment using the focus ring. These features can be fine-tuned via the optional Samyang Lens Station. Built to perform in real-world conditions, the lens features weather sealing in multiple areas to resist light rain, dust, and snow. Its sturdy yet compact construction makes it a reliable choice for photographers and videographers who shoot on the move. Whether capturing portraits, cinematic scenes, or creative low-light shots, the Samyang 85mm F1.4 AF Series II offers professional-grade performance in a portable, feature-rich package designed for Sony E-mount users.
