Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE II Lens for Sony E Summary

Arriving to coincide with their 50th anniversary is the second generation Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE II Lens for Sony E full-frame . This short telephoto prime lens has been updated inside and out with Samyang’s latest design language, improved optics and tenacious autofocus capabilities, resulting in a lens which is smaller, lighter and faster than the original.

It offers excellent sharpness with high resolution particularly in the centre of the image circle, which is apparent even when shooting wide open at f/1.4. The 9-bladed aperture renders pleasingly smooth and clean bokeh, with a wide maximum aperture perfect for separating your subject from the background.

The AF 85mm f/1.4 FE II is ideal for both stills and video thanks to featuring the latest STM AF technology found in and the exterior includes a custom switch and focus hold button for improved operation. Samyang also weather sealed this lens in order for you to be able to shoot outdoors during wind, rain or snow.

Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE II Lens for Sony E in More Detail

Outstanding Centre Resolution

With 4 HR (High Refractive) and 1 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass element included in the new optical design, the AF 85mm F1.4 FE II provides excellent contrast and resolution, with a centre resolution which is superior to many other telephoto lenses. Samyang’s advanced coating technology also maintains excellent image sharpness even in low lighting conditions and delivers a clearer image with improved Colour Contribution Index (CCI).

Fast, Precise and Quiet Auto Focus Performance

Samyang’s Linear Stepping Motor (STM) provides the efficiency needed for fast, precise, quiet AF and tracking, capitalising on the advantages which Sony E-Mount cameras provide. Compared to the previous AF 85mm F1.4 FE, the latest generation AF 85mm F1.4 FE II lens is optimised for shooting stills as well as video, through the reduction of vibration and noise. Samyang’s Linear STM satisfies both photographers and videographers who demand quieter and more accurate control from the lens focusing groups.

Beautiful Clean Bokeh

The AF 85mm F1.4 FE II is the only FE mount that does not feature any aspherical glass, which often cause onion ring effects in the bokeh. Since the AF 85mm F1.4 FE II has no aspherical glass elements, it has clear and beautiful bokeh with rounded edges.

Enhanced Reliability with Professional Control

To improve your workflow Samyang has included customisable Focus Hold Button and Custom Switch in the AF 85mm F1.4 FE II.

Focus Hold Button

The focus hold button locks focusing distance, although it can also be assigned with other functions, including Eye AF in settings on the camera body.

Custom Switch

The custom switch can be set for silent aperture adjustment by rotating the focus ring. Using the optional , you can set up the mode to suit your own preference*.

(*More features will be added through firmware updates in the future)

0.85m Short Minimum Focal Distance

The minimum focus distance is just 85cm, making the lens perfect for portraits from close up headshots to full-body images, while isolating the subject from background with the wide f/1.4 maximum aperture.

Contemporary Design with Weather Sealing

The AF 85mm F1.4 FE II has been developed and enhanced with a micro-patterned rubber focus ring, which feels great to operate. Extensive weather-sealing in 7 areas protects the lens from light rain, snow and dust.
