The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Lens is a manual focus, manual aperture, telephoto prime lens that is compatible with full-frame and APS-C format Sony NEX mirrorless digital cameras. On APS-C format cameras, it provides a 35mm format focal length equivalency of 127.5mm, making it ideal for portraiture and other telephoto applications.

Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is highly effective in low-light situations and provides shallow depth-of-field focus control. An aspherical lens element aids in the reduction of aberrations, while the UMC multi-layer coating minimizes flare and ghosting, contributing to overall sharp imaging.

The lens offers a minimum focus distance of 3.3 feet (1.0 m), and its 72mm filter thread diameter is accompanied by a removable bayonet-type lens hood that deflects unwanted light and protects the lens from damage.

Rokinon's 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical Lens is renowned for its razor-sharp and crystal-clear performance, making it a popular choice for portrait photography. It is widely used for shooting ultra-bright and vivid portrait pictures, and it stacks up impressively against the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 and the Nikon 85mm f/1.4, all while being the least expensive lens of its kind on the market.

The lens is constructed with a combination of glass and aluminum components, resulting in a high-quality build. Its focusing mechanism is silky smooth, thanks to the internal focusing (IF) system, which ensures the physical size of the lens remains constant during focusing. Chromatic aberrations are minimal, and the Bokeh quality is nearly perfect.

Included with the lens are a removable lens hood, lens caps, a lens pouch, an instruction manual, and a one-year warranty. The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical Lens is available in various mounts, including Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, and Olympus 4/3. There is also a slightly more expensive version (Model # 85MAF-N) for Nikon that features a built-in focus confirm chip.

In terms of technical specifications, the lens has an aperture range of f/1.4 to f/21, is composed of 14 elements in 7 groups, has an angle of view of 28.3 degrees, and a minimum focusing distance of 3.3 feet (1.0 m). The filter size is 72mm.

The exceptional performance and value of the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical Lens make it a highly attractive option for photographers and videographers seeking a high-quality, yet affordable, telephoto prime lens for their Sony NEX mirrorless camera system.
