Samyang AF 85mm f/1.8 P Overview
Well-suited for creators seeking portrait-length performance in a sleek, travel-friendly form, the AF 85mm f/1.8 P FE Lens from Samyang is designed for Sony E-mount full-frame camera systems. This lens expands upon Samyang's "Prima Series" of lenses, which are distinguished by their performance, portability, and modern design. Its focal length provides a detailed, isolated perspective that's ideal for portrait and event photography. Its bright f/1.8 aperture allows this lens to perform well during everyday shooting and in dimmer lighting conditions. Smooth and accurate autofocus is provided via the lens's linear stepping motor, which works to reduce noise and minimize focus breathing, so both still and video capture are reliable and efficient.
Micro-pattern rubber provides a textured grip for better user control and improved durability.
