Rediscover the classic portrait focal length
75 mm used to be considered the ideal portrait focal length, not the 85 mm that is common today. The advantage: the photographer has more leeway in image composition because the angle of view of 32.9° on full format, 21.9° on APS-C leaves more room. The photographer can also get closer to the model during the shoot, which is particularly beneficial for the atmosphere of intimacy between photographer and model in elaborate studio productions and creates a sense of calm. In short: The focal length of 75mm creates unique images that clearly stand out from the usual portraits.
"Tiny but Absolute" - small and absolutely top!
With the AF 75mm F1.8 FE, Samyang is expanding the "Tiny" series of compact, lightweight lenses for the mirrorless Sony Alpha cameras with the exotic portrait focal length of 75 mm. The focal lengths 18 mm, 24 mm, 35 mm, 45 mm and 75 mm are now available. At just 69 mm long and 65 mm in diameter, the lens is particularly compact and lightweight, weighing just 230 grams. The filter thread has a diameter of 58 mm and the lens hood is removable. 10 elements in 9 groups, including 2 high refractive glass lenses (HR) and 3 lenses made of glass with extremely low dispersion (ED), ensure the highest image quality. All glass elements are multi-coated with Samyang's own Ultra Multi Coating (UMC). The coating prevents reflections and chromatic aberrations and also ensures a precisely true-color image. Thanks to the 9 blades of the aperture, highlights appear as beautiful round circles in the bokeh. Together with the extremely high glass quality of the lenses, this results in a fantastic lens that delivers images that are crystal clear from the center to the outermost corners and are absolutely sharp, even with the aperture open.
New Custom Switch
New to this lens is the Custom Switch, where you would actually expect the AF/MF switch. It can be switched between Mode 1 and Mode 2. The special feature here is that the two switch positions can be assigned by the user. This is done when the lens is connected to the computer via a Lens Station and the Lens Manager software. Currently, both switch positions can be freely assigned to the modes "manual focus", "manual aperture" and "autofocus". Additional modes can be added via a firmware update, which is also installed via the Lens Station and the Lens Manager, as soon as Samyang launches them on the market. The Lens Station is generally used to install firmware updates on lenses. This allows you to adapt the lens to your individual requirements.
Super-fast autofocus, whisper-quiet
Thanks to a linear stepper motor, the autofocus is quiet, fast and precise. It takes just 0.12 to 0.20 seconds to focus between the outermost positions in the lens, depending on the selected focus preference and direction of movement, making it the perfect companion for use with moving subjects. With a volume of just 23.03 dB, the AF 75mm F1.8's focus is as quiet as a whisper. This also makes the lens ideal for filming with autofocus.
Suitable for portrait, travel, city and details
With its focal length of 75 mm, this lightweight telephoto lens is primarily suitable for portrait photography. However, the Samyang AF 75mm F1.8 FE is also ideal for travel and cityscapes.
