Samyang MF 85mm T1.5 VDSLR II Lens

The Samyang 85mm T1.5 VDSLR MK2 is a cine-style fast short-telephoto prime designed for full-frame cameras (also usable on APS-C / Super35 / MFT formats) and tailored for filmmakers and hybrid shooters. According to the manufacturer, it features a bright T1.5 maximum aperture for exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field.

Optically, it uses 9 elements in 7 groups including an aspherical element. The MK2 series adds upgrades such as a 9-blade iris for smoother bokeh, weather sealing (most mounts), de-clicked aperture ring for smooth iris pulls, and consistent gear positions on focus and aperture rings — making it ideal for cinematic workflows.

Key Features

• Very fast T1.5 maximum aperture for low-light capture and rich subject separation.
• Optical design: 9 elements in 7 groups (including one aspherical element).
• Cine-style features: geared focus & aperture rings, de-clicked aperture ring, side scales for focus/T-stop, and consistent gear-ring placement.
• 9-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh and pleasing out-of-focus rendering.
• Weather sealing on most mount versions for more reliable outdoor use.
• Full-frame coverage (±) with compatibility across multiple mounts including Canon EF, Canon RF, Nikon F, Sony E and MFT.

Best Suitable

• Filmmakers and cinematographers who need a fast cine prime with manual control, geared rings and professional build quality.
• Hybrid photo/video creators who use full-frame or high-end APS-C/MFT systems and want a high-quality short-telephoto lens.
• Portrait, event and cinematic production work where T1.5 aperture and manual control matter.
• Users of Canon EF/RF, Nikon F, Sony E or MFT systems looking for one consistent cine lens across mounts with standardized gear rings.
