Product Overview
Samyang 85mm F1.8 ED UMC CS is a manual-focus short telephoto prime lens for Canon EF-M-mount, Fujifilm X-mount, and Sony E-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Samyang in 2018, it has 9 elements in 7 groups.
Manual focus may be limiting to some, but purists will find it much more engaging. There are also fewer things to go wrong on the long run. Unfortunately, Samyang has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
A telephoto prime lens, the Samyang 85mm F1.8 ED UMC CS is well suited for portrait photography.
