The Samyang AF SERIES II 85mm F1.4 for Sony E is the smallest (99.5mm/3.92in length) and lightest (509g/17.95oz weight) among all the large-aperture standard 85mm focal length lenses compatible with the Sony E mount. This lens delivers a 28.9˚ angle of view for full-frame and 19.1˚ for APS-C, as well as a bright maximum aperture of F1.4, as preferred by full-frame camera users.

The optical design of the AF 85mm F1.4 E II (Large-Aperture Standard) lens features 11 elements in 8 groups (4 HR and 1 ED). Combined with Sony's full-frame image sensor, this lens delivers superior sharpness and contrast in all areas of the image. The AF also operates quietly and smoothly when shooting video, thanks to Samyang's Linear STM (Stepping Motor).

The large-diameter aperture of the AF 85mm F1.4 E II provides smooth background blur, effectively separating the subject from the background and adding drama to the scene. The 9 diaphragm blades create smooth and natural bokeh with light splitting.

The AF 85mm F1.4 E II has minimized focus breathing, so there is almost no change in the angle of view when focusing, reducing screen shake when shooting movies with the subject moving forward or backward, or focusing from the front or back.

The lens features a custom switch, which can be set to allow adjustment of the aperture by rotating the focus ring. Using the optional Lens Station, you can set up the mode to suit your own preference. Additionally, the focus-hold button can be assigned to various functions through the Custom Key Settings menu of the camera.

The minimum focal distance of the AF 85mm F1.4 E II is just 0.85m (2.79ft), allowing for unique perspectives and close-up shots of food, portraits, and nature. The lens is also weather-sealed at 4 spots to protect it from light dust, rain, and snow, enabling the capture of stunning images in less than perfect conditions.

In summary, the Samyang AF SERIES II 85mm F1.4 for Sony E is a versatile and high-performance lens that delivers exceptional image quality, fast and quiet autofocus, and a range of advanced features, making it a great choice for both photographers and videographers.
