Description

Overview

Based on Samyang’s original and highly popular Full Frame MF 85mm F1.4, the MK2 models offer a sleek, comfortable ergonomic design along with a host of new and useful features.

The MK2 Samyang lenses include weather sealing, an aperture de-click switch for smooth and silent operation during video recording, a rubberized micro-pattern focusing grip, and a nine-blade circular aperture that enhances bokeh. Additionally, Samyang modified the focusing control action to provide a smoother, perfectly damped long throw, allowing for precise follow focus during video shooting.

The MK2 85mm F1.4 incorporates a nine-element design in seven groups, featuring a Hybrid Aspherical element and UMC anti-reflective coatings. These features maximize image quality and contrast, even at wide-open apertures. Its fast F1.4 maximum aperture ensures excellent low-light performance and precise selective focus with smooth bokeh.

Filter users will appreciate the IF (Internal Focus) design, which prevents changes in length and eliminates front element rotation. This design enables easy use of polarizers and other filters that require precise positioning. This 85mm portrait prime provides a 28.3° angle of view for full-frame cameras and delivers a telephoto view of approximately 17.7° for Canon APS-C sensor model cameras.

Finally, the lens comes equipped with a removable and reversible lens hood, as well as a soft lens pouch for added convenience.
