Optimal angle of view - beautiful portraits
The 85 mm lens from SAMYANG is an ideal focal length that focuses on the essentials. On a full-frame camera, its picture angle of 29° provides optimum concentration on the picture element. If the 85/1.4 is attached to an APS-C camera, the angle of view is 19°, which corresponds approximately to the image impression of a 135 mm lens. The same 85 mm on a 4/3 camera even has the image effect of a 170 mm full-frame camera, again at 1.4 aperture. This very practical aperture of 1.4 never changes, which not only provides an extremely bright viewfinder, but also the possibility of cropping through the smallest depth of field. The lens is very well corrected and impresses with its very good and distortion-free imaging performance. The very compact design provides comfortable handling with a balanced center of gravity.
Excellent speed
The high speed of this SAMYANG lens allows the use of short exposure times or lower ASA values. This considerably reduces image noise on digital cameras. The large initial aperture with shallow depth of field optimizes the position of the focal plane in the viewfinder. A practical side benefit of the high light intensity is the highlighting/framing of the subject in front of a blurred foreground or background.
High-quality optics and mechanics
The lens is equipped with internal focusing and offers a close focusing distance of 100 cm. With 9 lenses in 7 groups, it is very elaborately constructed, designed for optimum performance even at open aperture. When focusing, lens elements are shifted internally: the overall length of the optics therefore does not change and the 72mm filter thread does not rotate when focusing. The iris diaphragm has 8 blades and an almost circular aperture image. The gradient into the blur is reproduced harmoniously with fine bokeh. Of course, all lens surfaces are multi-coated to increase the contrast of the images and avoid reflections. Everything is rounded off by precise mechanics, clearly locking aperture values and production in a high-quality metal mount.
Advantages of a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor
Save time in post-processing. A large number of lens errors such as distortion, edge blur or vignetting occur on the outer areas of the image. If you use a lens calculated for full format on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not used. This results in maximum quality. Additional post-processing time to correct lens errors is therefore not required.
