the samyang 85mm is also suited to cropped sensors, including aps-c / dx sensors, when used on cropped sensors it gives approximately 127mm focal length equivalent, or 135mm focal length equivalent prime lens on canon cropped sensor dslrs. coupled with the fast f1.4aperture gives an excellent portrait lens for tighter headshots or working from a distance with cropped sensor cameras, or for shooting in various low light conditions. the bokeh (the character of the out-of-focus blur) is a primary concern for professionals choosing an ultra-large aperture lens for shallow depth-of-field photography.

the samyang 85mm f1.4lens design offers excellent bokeh quality of out-of-focus highlights when used near wide open such as at f/1.4and f/2. independent tests and users confirm the samyang’s beautiful bokeh character, surpassing lenses 4 times the price. the lens optical construction comprises of 9lenses divided into 7 optical groups with one aspheric lens element.

the samyang 85mm is designed with internal focusing (if) meaning the lens does not increase in size when focusing. a further positive aspect to internal focusing is that the lens is much less likely to get dust inside, as opposed to external focusing (or zooming) lenses which can suck in dirt during use. the 8 bladed aperture design aids a great bokeh character at near wide open apertures.
