Description

Bring your creative vision to life with the Samyang 85 mm F1.4 AF FE lens, designed specifically for Sony E-mount full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras. With a versatile focal length, ultra-fast aperture, and precision- engineered optics, this lens is ideal for photographers and filmmakers seeking professional-quality portraits, rich background blur, and impressive low-light performance. The optical layout consists of 11 elements in 8 groups, including 4 High Refractive (HR) elements and 1 Extra-low Dispersion (ED) element, carefully arranged to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion while maximizing image clarity and contrast. Combined with Samyang's Ultra Multi- Coating (UMC), the result is images that are crisp, vibrant, and full of detail—even in high-contrast lighting. At the heart of its performance is a Dual Linear Sonic Motor (DLSM) that provides fast, smooth, and near-silent autofocus operation. Whether you're capturing stills or video, the AF system ensures pinpoint focus without disrupting your scene. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm creates naturally circular bokeh, enhancing portraits with beautiful depth and separation. The lens is housed in a compact and lightweight body, constructed from durable materials and finished with weather sealing to protect against dust and light rain. The non-rotating 77 mm front filter mount allows for convenient use of ND or specialty filters, while the integrated AF/MF switch ensures quick and intuitive manual focus adjustments when creative control is required. Included in the box are essential accessories like a lens hood, front and rear caps, a carrying pouch, and a user manual, providing full protection and portability. Whether you're working on location or shooting in the studio, the Samyang 85 mm F1.4 AF for Sony E is a must-have lens that combines style, performance, and reliability in one elegant package.

  • Excellent value for the money. Very budget friendly
Style: Sony FE
Picked this up as “semi disposable” 85mm prime for my Sony A7iii. I was blown away with how the pictures come out! Zero chromatic abbreviation. Focus’s super quick and has a decent weight to it but not too heavy. Doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles on the outside but the insides are high quality as I had no issues capturing portraits or sports when using the Samyang. Shot a flag football game and all the photos came out great, nothing out of focus due to the lens. Worth every penny & I will be buying more samyang lenses in the future!! ... show more

  • Exceeded expectations
Style: Sony FE
I will list the cons first, because everyone wants to know the trade-off they will make getting this lens vs the expensive Sony one. 1) Flare. This is something every 85mm on the market struggles with, but this one's is unique and green, not pleasing. Just use the hood and avoid shooting into the sun and problem solved. If you notice the center of your photo has a green hue, you pointed too close to the sun. 2 Minor CA in extreme contrast situations. Two clicks in post and it's gone, but it's worth noting. 3 Slight front focus, but not annoyingly so. Could be corrected with the dock, but I don't have one yet. Not really a problem unless you are used to lenses that back focus a little. 4 No fancy features of the super expensive one, but it's a quarter of the price. Pros are numerous, even shooting it on an a6000. Beautiful photos with little effort, can even photograph friendly wildlife. Focus is as fast as any Sony lens I have, but again it's on an a6000. It is a little heavy and bigger than the camera body, but that's the trade off for very fast glass on a cheap camera. No image stabilization, but with glass this fast and modern high ISO performance, not an issue at all. So far, I'm very pleased with the lens and would have gladly paid at least a hundred more bucks for this quality! I've recommended this lens to a couple of others already and they too have been pleased with the results. If my opinion on this beautiful piece of kit changes, I'll update this review then. ... show more

  • New favorite prime lens. Amazing price!
Style: Sony FE
There is something special about the images this lens produces. Spent 5 months traveling around the world and 80% of my favorite shots were on this lens. It was also the cheapest lens I brought. Once you get used to the 85mm focal length, this thing is a beast.

  • Great lens - some focusing issues!
Style: Sony FE
This lens does a beautiful job! Taking off one star because it started having focusing issues for me, but it has wonderful bokeh and its crisp for the price range! I’ve had it for four years now and it just started giving me issues.

  • Bang for buck
Style: Sony FE
I'm more of a hobbyist rather than a professional but I've done a handful of weddings and this lens never failed me. I use the a7iii and riii . It's isnt the quickest to focus, but neither is the g-master. Sharpness is excellent at 1.4. I did not use it for video so I can't talk on that part. The photos straight out of the camera come with a warmer color and the bokeh that it creates has a uniqueness to it. I later found the g-master on a steal of a price used and bought it just because of the value but honestly the upgrade was incremental outside of bragging rights to say you have a gm lens. I had this lens for 3 years without any issues ... show more

  • Wonderful lens, especially for blurring background.
Style: Sony FE
Just started in the Sony system. This is my second "for Sony" lens that I use on the A9. It focuses very well. It arrived with firmware 4.0 on it already which helped. Can't say enough about how the background gets blurred using this lens. Just amazing. I've added a few photos to help show it. Someone on youtube said that this lens actually is more like a 1.6 lens instead of 1.4, and he made this claim by saying he compared it to two other lenses. Not a very scientific way to go about this so I can't accept his conclusions (he's considered a "Sony Artisan" so that might explain it). I'd love to hear from anyone who has more information on this. Regardless, it is amazing. Glad I purchased it. ... show more

  • Crazy good!
Style: Sony FE
This lens is amazing, especially for the price. The glass is beautiful, the colors are fantastic, and it's way more compact than a 70-200... and faster!! Wrap that up with performance on par with the GM (5 times the price) and quieter than it too!! What's not to like... well, except that I bought it for my wife's A7iii and not my Canon. Really, I was eyeing this lens long before the big price drop and it does not disappoint. ... show more
