Product details

Experience the enhanced user-friendliness and product design of the updated MF 85mm F1.4 MK2. The 85mm lens from Samyang, featuring manual focus, is popular for its expressive portraits. The original optical design has been retained while adding the de-click function and weather resistance to improve usability when capturing the moments of your life. The 85mm from Samyang is one of the most popular lenses in the product line due to its exceptional image quality and expressive characteristics.

The new MF 85mm F1.4 MK2 offers improved usability with the de-click function and weather protection. The round bokeh and outstanding optical system ensure unforgettable images of your loved ones. With its vibrant colors and smooth sharpness, it is ideal for high-quality portrait and still photography.

When it comes to video recording, it is essential to capture the subject with consistent brightness, even when changing the aperture. Here is the new feature for filming with the MF 85mm. Switch the silver ring from "Click" to "Free," and your aperture will no longer click at each stop, as is common with cine lenses. With this de-click feature, you can adjust the brightness smoothly and continuously, with much more detail between the f-stops.

Regarding bokeh, you will achieve excellent bokeh results with the 9 rounded aperture blades. The space between the subject and the background is effectively separated, making the subject stand out more. The 9 aperture blades create well-defined sun stars when the aperture is stopped down.

Measured against Sony mirrorless, 43 MP, KB: The 1.4/85 belongs to Samyang's MF line and unfortunately cannot match the performance of the AF 1.8/35 mm. At f/1.4, resolution and contrast fall short of expectations. The edge fall-off - especially of the contrast - is very high. Stopping down improves the readings in the centre of the image significantly...
