Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 Sony E-mount

A small telephoto ideal for portraits, wildlife, and travel.

The 85mm focal length is ideal for subjects you want to bring in or highlight without getting too close. The 28.9° angle of view is also particularly well suited for portraits or small groups, as people appear naturally proportioned at this focal length range. Lenses with focal lengths between 80 and 105 millimeters are therefore also called portrait lenses. The AF 85mm F1.4 also cuts a good figure as an all-rounder when traveling. A lens like this is predestined for stitching panoramas with very high resolution, and this focal length also provides 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.

Designed for best performance

For the best possible optical performance of the lens, the light flow has been specially optimized based on the ratio of the lens glass to the position of the sensor of the Sony cameras. At the same time, the high-quality processed lens has a compact design despite its solid metal housing. 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. 4 high refractive index (HR) lenses and one extra low dispersion (ED) lens reduce chromatic aberration and aberrations, and provide high imaging performance. This is reflected in sharp images with crisp contrasts and natural colors. Rounding out the optical design is Samyang's proprietary Ultra Multi Coating (UMC), which eliminates reflections and ghosting.

Advantages of a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor

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

Compact dimensions

Despite its strong performance features, the lens, which is housed in a sturdy aluminum body, is small and compact: weighing only 568 g, with a length of just under 10 cm and a diameter of 8.8 cm, it fits easily into almost any camera bag and will not cause back pain or sweat even on longer trips or tours. Thanks to Samyang's proprietary Weather-Sealing-Protection, it is immune to light rain or snow showers.

Lensstation

Stay in the know

A Lens Station is used to keep the electronics in interchangeable lenses up to date. You put it on a lens like a camera, then connect it to a PC or Mac via USB. Now the computer can access the lens directly with special software.

With Lens Station, you get the most out of your Samyang autofocus lenses. Update the firmware, make individual adjustments to the autofocus or adjust the sensitivity of the focus ring during manual focusing.

Please download the "Lens Manager" software to use the Lens Station, see the bottom of the page. The software is available in German, English, Spanish and French, among other languages.
