Description
Article no.: 30118
This Samyang lens is an 85mm focal-length lens with a wide f/1.4 maximum aperture. It is the MK2 (Mark 2) version and uses a Canon EF mount. The lens is designed as a manual-focus (MF) optic for cameras that accept Canon EF lenses.
The Samyang MF 85mm f/1.4 MK2 Canon EF fits directly on Canon EF-mount cameras. Because it is a manual-focus lens, you set focus using the lens focus ring. Additionally, the bright f/1.4 aperture permits work at wide apertures when needed. The MK2 designation identifies this as the second iteration of this Samyang 85mm f/1.4 model.
