Samyang MF 85mm F/1.4 MK2 Lens

The Samyang MF 85mm F/1.4 MK2 is a full-frame compatible short-telephoto prime lens designed especially for portrait use and creative shallow depth-of-field. According to the reference, it features an optical construction of 9 elements in 7 groups with one Hybrid Aspherical element. The lens also comes with weather-sealing at the mount for outdoor use (note: Nikon F variant excludes weather-sealing). It offers a maximum aperture of f/1.4 which is well-suited for low-light and portrait work. Available for Sony E and Fujifilm X (and other mounts) the MK2 version offers updated build quality, coating, and performance.
