The Samyang 85mm f1.4 AF FE II is a lightweight and compact short telephoto lens ideal for portraits and low-light scenarios. In its second generation, it manages to reduce both size and weight while improving optical and autofocus performance. Featuring 11 optical elements arranged into 8 groups, it utilizes a series of high-refraction and extra-low dispersion elements to achieve a glass surface that delivers smooth, creamlike bokeh. For this same purpose, the lens is equipped with a nine-bladed aperture diaphragm.
The autofocus system has been reworked with an STM motor that acquires subjects quickly and quietly and can be controlled in several ways thanks to its customizable AF Lock button and focus ring. The body of the lens, made entirely out of metal, sports full weather sealing to keep out moisture, dust, and other contaminants.
