Product details
The portrait classic in its second generation. Experience the new AF 85mm F1.4 FE II with numerous improvements, including faster autofocus, more professional features, and enhanced weather resistance. Compatible with all Sony E-Mount mirrorless cameras, both full-frame and APS-C.
Highest quality for outstanding portraits. The high-quality 11 lenses (including 1x ED, 4x HR) deliver top image quality across all areas. 9 aperture blades create perfect bokeh with harmonious out-of-focus areas. Low-light shots are successful thanks to the high brightness of F1.4, making this lens the perfect solution for demanding portrait photography.
Light, quiet, fast. Weighing only 509 g, the lens is lighter than its predecessor (568 g), making it an ideal travel companion. Compact and handy, it can be easily stored in your camera bag. The newly redesigned L-STM autofocus from Samyang is powered by a linear stepping motor and operates faster and quieter than the previous model. This ensures optimal and sharp image quality, even with moving subjects. Whether for photos or videos, the quality meets the highest standards.
Professional features - always up to date. A true advancement compared to the predecessor is the Custom Switch and the Focus Hold Button. The Custom Switch allows for convenient aperture control via the focus ring. The separate Lens Station offers further fine-tuning of the autofocus and updates. This guarantees optimal and contemporary performance. Depending on the camera model, individual settings such as eye autofocus can be programmed and saved using the Focus Hold Button.
For all adventures - the Samyang weather protection. Optimized for shooting in adverse conditions, the weather protection safeguards the lens.
