Samyang Af 85mm F1.4 Weather Sealed High Speed Auto Focus Lens For Canon Eos R Cameras - Rf Mount

very good product

NICE PRODUCT GOOD BOHKEY. REPLACEMENT OF RF 1.2 85MM.

I have had to buy this lens 3 times to get a copy that is reasonably sharp in all corners. The first one I bought had firmware version 1 so I had to order the Lens Dock and could only find it in Germany.After testing the lens, I ordered another one and thought to return the first if the second was better. It came with the updated firmware but it was worse and produced softer images. I returned the 2nd and ordered yet another one. That also proved to be worse than the first copy though it also have the updated firmware. By this time, the return window had just closed so I couldn't even return the first one and I have to stick with it.When you focus and try to hold focus, the lens slowly just loses the focus so you either take the shot immediately you gain focus of your best bet is Manual Focus using Focus Peaking.I am not doing paid photography so guess for the quality, it is still better than paying 3 times the price for the Canon 85mm F/1.2. The Sigma DG HSM Art is a better option if you don't mind the size and the use of an adapter.The images are reasonably sharp when the focus works right but as the reviews say, the vignetting is VERY BAD. If you are not processing your images in post, you must really love very dark vignetting in every image you take to be able to use this lens wider than F/5.6.

Its amazing, very sharp lens. Matches 90% L series quality. Its second time i am buying the same lens. Samyang stopped producing this lens and delisted from their website due to Canons legal action. Limited stock available in global market. Buy it if you are looking for RF lens, without breaking your bank. Now I have both Samyang RF lenses, 85mm f1.4 & 14mm f2.8.

Probablemente resultado de una unidad defectuosa, pero al ocuparlo con mi cámara la batería instalada era drenada completamente incluso con el equipo apagado. La calidad de imagen era excelente en las condiciones que lo probé antes de devolverlo.

Pictures are little soft in sharpness but when you compare with canon 85mm 1.2 price is around $3500 and this one is not even $1000.Get the job done with the price i paid for.

I really want the Canon RF 85 1.2L but that lens is almost 3k and it's hard to justify for business right now during the pandemic. So I bought this lens and gave it a go and I was surprised how really good it is. It's not as sharp as my RF 50 1.2L but it's also not as expensive. I think it is sharp enough. It's really more for my satisfaction, the clients really can't tell what lens I'm using, they love the images with whatever lenses I use hahaI like how light the lens feels though, which I wish these new RF L lenses from canon would be, instead of heavy lenses. Congratulations to Samyang for a great job making this lens I really think they have a big hit on this one. Light, sharp, affordable and it's an RF mount. I hope they continue to make more focal lengths because I think a lot of people will buy them over canon during this early phase into the RF system.sadly, my copy doesn't work with ibis for my R6. needs the dock to be updated.Samyang I hope would make a 1.2 version with AF!Great lens for the price! Definitely worth buying if you do a lot of portraits and want an RF mount and don't want to have adapters and can't afford the Canon RF 85 1.2L.Instagram @702marcjames

This lens is super sharp and is perfect for portraits. It's also quite light for such a lens so it fits very nicely on my EOS R.

Like many Canon shooters I have a tendency to convince myself that I "have" to have that shiny new L-series glass. "My clients will see the difference!" I say as I push the "Buy Now" button and watch $2300 disappear from my dwindling bank account yet again.No more - this lens has broken my curse. I have been shooting L-series glass for the past ten years for both personal and professional work and I have never seen a third-party lens this good, let alone on the RF mount. I have never owned a Samyang lens but this 85mm is tack sharp, so much so that I actually saw a reduction in sharpness with even my highest quality filters attached - this thing deserves to be left to shoot in the raw. The included lens hood is large and does great at keeping the front element safe without a UV filter in place.The colors run warm and with a green tint, but in a pleasing way. The vignette is strong, but easily corrected and I find myself leaving it in more and more rather than adding a vignette from Lightroom. Build quality is excellent. The lens box was shipped in the flimsiest paper bag which was ripped open during shipping and horribly re-taped by USPS. The lens inside was perfectly fine, in line with comments by others that this thing is hardy. The focus ring has a long throw, but that is absolutely necessary if you decide to focus manually at f/1.4 where you want finer focus adjustments. The autofocus on my EOS R is excellent and the lens keeps up just fine with eye-detect focus in AI Servo mode on portrait subjects walking directly towards the camera, probably one of the hardest focus situations when DOF is so shallow. Maybe 1 in 5 shots under that scenario has focus slightly off and I get the same results with my L-series glass.Honestly, this lens has made me question how much money I could have saved beforehand by not just defaulting to only buying L-series glass. This is an excellent piece of kit with a personality all its own that renders the world tack sharp where it needs to and buttery smooth elsewhere. Embrace that personality and it will give you some excellent images.
