Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 Telephoto Lens

The new AF 85mm F1.4 RF is now an autofocus telephoto lens with Canon RF Mount. This new lens is said to offer beautiful bokeh, excellent image quality, and reliable autofocus. Therefore, it is ideal for portraits and other bokeh where you occasionally want to design with a shallow depth of field. A shallow depth of field blurs the background softly and highlights the importance of the subject.

A weatherproof seal protects the lens from dust, light rain and snow and offers the possibility to take pictures even under imperfect conditions.

The new Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 Canon RF lenses also make no compromises when it comes to image quality: a total of 11 elements in 8 groups, with 4 high-index (HR) optics and a lens with extra-low dispersion (ED), were developed in order to achieve impressive image quality across the entire image area produce. Nine aperture blades create a natural, circular bokeh with a fantastic blur effect that is pleasing to the eye.
