Samyang Announces AF 85mm Canon EF & AF 24mm Sony E-Mount Lenses

Two new Samyang lenses are now available for Sony and Canon shooters. Samyang, Rokinon—whichever brand name you prefer to call it—has introduced two new lenses that include a AF 24mm F2.8 full frame for Sony E-mount and a AF 85mm F1.4 EF for Canon EF mount. The new AF 85mm F1.4 EF lens is an all-metal construction, ergonomically designed for Canon full frame sensors. Optically, it's constructed from nine elements in seven groups with 1 Hybrid aspherical lens. It's nine blade aperture offers a pretty good looking bokeh and exceptional center resolution. When using a APS-C sensor, the lens is a 136mm equivalent telephoto. The company also added its Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) to reduce ghosting and lens flare. What's nice about the portrait-friendly lens is its compact size and weight. It comes in at 2.8" (7.2cm) in length and under 17 oz (485g), which is exceptionally small. The lens features weather sealing to protect against dust and moisture. Street price is around $749 (USD) and will include a reversible lens hood, lens caps, and a soft pouch case. Read More...
