Rediscover the classic portrait focal length. In the past, 75 mm was considered the ideal portrait focal length, not the commonly used 85 mm today. The advantage: the photographer has more flexibility in composition, as the field of view of 32.9° on full-frame and 21.9° on APS-C offers more space. Additionally, the photographer can get closer to the model during the shoot, which is particularly beneficial for creating an intimate atmosphere between the photographer and the model, fostering a sense of calm. In short: the 75 mm focal length produces unique images that stand out significantly from typical portraits.
"Tiny but Absolute" - small and absolutely top-notch! Samyang expands its "Tiny" series of compact, lightweight lenses for Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras with the exotic 75 mm portrait focal length. Now, focal lengths of 18 mm, 24 mm, 35 mm, 45 mm, and 75 mm are available. The lens is particularly compact with a length of only 69 mm and a maximum diameter of 65 mm, weighing just 230 grams. The filter thread has a diameter of 58 mm, and the lens hood is removable. For the highest image quality, it features 10 elements in 9 groups, including 2 high-refractive glass elements (HR) and 3 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements. All glass elements are multi-coated with Samyang's proprietary Ultra Multi Coating (UMC). This coating prevents reflections and chromatic aberrations while ensuring accurate color reproduction. The 9 diaphragm blades create beautiful round circles in the bokeh for highlights. Combined with the extremely high glass quality of the lenses, this results in a fantastic lens that delivers images that are crystal clear from the center to the very corners and are absolutely sharp, even at wide open aperture.
New Custom Switch feature. A new addition to this lens is the Custom Switch, which is typically used for AF.
