Capture Perfect Portraits with Samyang 85mm f/1.4 Prime Lens

The Samyang 85 mm f/1.4 prime lens is available for all major digital SLR1 manufacturers, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus and Pentax. Its fixed 85mm focal length is ideal for portrait photography, allowing you to isolate your subject and blur any distractions in the background with the bright f/1.4 aperture. As with early SLR cameras, the Samyang requires manual focusing and aperture adjustment, but the silky smooth action of the focus ring and 1/2EV increments (except when stepping from f/1.4 to f/2.0 and f/16 to f/22) of the aperture ring make finding correct focus and exposure a breeze. Despite these two manual adjustments, the build and optical quality of the lens is outstanding.

Made from a combination of metal and high quality plastics, the lens features 9 glass elements in 7 groups including one aspherical element. With outstanding edge to edge sharpness, beautiful out of focus rendition and true to life colour reproduction the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 prime lens represents excellent value for money.
