Samyang AF 50mm F/1.4 FE, Sony E-Mount

Previously known only as a manufacturer of bright lenses with manual focus, Samyang introduces the 50mm standard autofocus lens with an impressive aperture of f/1.4. Hardly any photographer can do without a good, fast 50mm lens. It can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from portraits and detail shots to street photography and landscape photography. Thanks to its wide aperture of f/1.4, this lens is ideal for wedding photography, which often needs to be done without flash. But the affordable Nifty Fifty is not just suitable for that. The separation of subjects in focus is unparalleled. Crisp results surrounded by buttery smooth bokeh are sure to impress. Combined with fast and precise autofocus, the Samyang 50mm F1.4 AS IF UMC represents a powerful and budget-friendly alternative to the currently available Sony lenses. To achieve the best possible optical performance, the light transmission has been specifically optimized based on the relationship between the lens glass and the position of the sensors in Sony cameras. The high-quality 50mm F1.4 is characteristically compact for Samyang and is designed to be very lightweight despite its solid metal housing. Snap-on filter systems or screw filters can be attached to the 67mm thread, opening up additional possibilities. The interior of this lens consists of 9 glass elements arranged in 8 groups, allowing for a close focusing distance of just 45mm. Three aspherical lenses reduce chromatic aberrations and imaging errors, ensuring high imaging performance. This results in sharp images with crisp contrasts and natural colors. The construction is completed with a multi-layer coating that avoids reflections and ghosting.
