  • Max

    I hope they finally gash down the normal multi-lobe diaphragm, and not the nut-squalor that was in the old Samyang 85-ke

  • Denis

    outwardly it looks like Sony lenses

    • B. R. P.

      And SigmoTamrons (new).

      • Michael

        And to be absolutely exact on Zeiss

  • zengarden

    Max, not filmed; at best rounded, but this is just Wishlist.
    For example, the shape of its diaphragm does not bother me at all.

    Denis, yeah, as I saw the picture - I thought that they did it for Sony :)

  • Valentine

    By the way, in June a new version from Yongnuo was released from F1.4 to 50mm for Canon cameras. So, at canon, autofocus alternatives on F1.4 are only growing.

  • Alexey de Paris

    This is all very interesting, but I am sure that the price for this Chinese will not be Chinese at all ...

    • Serhiy Todoriuk

      I agree with you, only samyang seems to be like Koreans nevertheless (it's like lying or samsung in electronics :)

      • Arkady Shapoval

        Yes, they even have "Made in Korea" on the case.

    • Jive

      Samyang Optics Company Limited is a South Korean company founded in 1972. She is mainly known as a manufacturer of lenses and all kinds of photographic accessories. All Samyang Optics lenses are manufactured at the company's factory located in Masan, South Korea. The Samyang range includes both zoom lenses and prime lenses. All interchangeable lenses manufactured by Samyang Optics are designed for third-party mounts.

    Canon LENS EF 85mm 1: 1.2 L USM somewhere error

    • Arkady Shapoval

      where?

      • anonym

        Well, the link goes to CANON EF 50MM F / 1.2L USM

  • Pawel

    That's all from the beginning on Kenon, but when will Nikon be gash? And then the price even of a used 85ki 1.8D 15000r .... Not budget (((

    • Michael

      Given that the price of the manual Samyang is slightly cheaper than 85 1.8D, budgeting is not expected. There will likely be competition with the f / 1.4 club

    • Denis

      if they wanted to release a budget one (cheaper than Nikon), then they would have made 1.8 autofocus

    • Valentine

      Yongnuo for Nikon 35mm F2 (EGF 52,5) ​​price 5-5,5 sp., 50mm F1.8 (EGF 75) price 4-4,5 sp., 100mm F2 (EFR 150) price 11,5-12,5, 85 sput. Workers, but inferior to their native and more eminent counterparts. They don't have 40s for Nikon, 85 is not the most successful. In general, there is a choice of relatives and analogues, which is good. For a full frame, I would definitely take a fast 100 or 85. But for the crop, everyone here already estimates - take XNUMX, get by with fifty dollars, work with manuals, etc.

      • Arkady Shapoval

        Another 14 mm :)

  • Vlad

    Samyang will need a brand new design for Sony E mount since they don t take the short cut method Sigma opted for by just porting the DSLR lens with a built in adapter to E mount.

  • Ostap

    I wonder if there is information on the Sony E will be such an 85mm 1.4?

    • Jive

      The manufacturer, in principle, produces optics primarily for the Sony mount.
