Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 FE II Sony E

A small telephoto, ideal for portraits, animals and travel
The focal length of 85 mm is ideal for subjects that you want to bring in or highlight without getting too close to the subject. The angle of view of 28.9° is also particularly suitable for portraits or small groups, as people appear naturally proportioned in this focal length range. Lenses with focal lengths between 80 and 105 millimetres are therefore also called portrait lenses. The AF 85mm F1.4 also cuts a fine figure as an all-rounder when travelling. A lens like this is predestined for stitching panoramas with very high resolution, and this focal length is also a good introduction to night sky photography, for example for parts of the Milky Way. In the zoo, the lens cuts just as good a figure as on the photo safari, and you will be rewarded with enviable shots.

Develops outstanding performance
For the best possible optical performance of the lens, the light flow has been specially optimised based on the ratio of the lens glass to the position of the sensor of the Sony cameras. Despite the solid metal housing, the high-quality lens is compact in design. Screw filters can be attached to the 77 mm thread, opening up further creative possibilities. The fast and precise autofocus is a great help even with moving subjects.

High-quality optics for sharp images
The inner workings of this lens consist of 11 glass elements arranged in 8 groups. This makes a low closest focusing distance of only 90 cm possible. Four high-refractive (HR) lenses and one extra-low dispersion (ED) lens reduce chromatic aberrations and aberrations, and ensure high imaging performance. This is reflected in sharp images with crisp contrasts and natural colours. The optical design is rounded off with Samyang's proprietary Ultra Multi Coating (UMC), which prevents reflections and ghosting.

Advantages of a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor
A large number of lens errors such as distortion, edge blur or vignetting occur on the outer areas of the image. If you use a lens calculated for full format on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not used. This way you get the maximum quality. Additional post-processing time to correct lens errors is therefore unnecessary. The angle of view with APS-C is 19.1° (crop factor 1.6).

Compact dimensions
Despite its strong performance features, the lens, which is encased in a sturdy aluminium housing, is small and compact: with a weight of only 568 g, a length of just under 10 cm and a diameter of 8.8 cm, it fits easily into almost any photo bag and does not cause back pain or sweating, even on longer trips or tours. Thanks to Samyang's own Weather-Sealing-Protection, it is immune to light rain or snow showers.
