The Samyang 85mm f1.4 AF mkII is a full frame lens for Sony E-Mount. I am using the Samyang 85mm f1.4 II on the Sony A7IV for photography and the Sony A7sIII for video. During this review, we are checking out how the Samyang 85mm f1.4 mark 2 performs in a real-world setting at a portrait photoshoot. This Samyang 85mm f1.4 II is a moderately priced lens with a fantastic balance between sharp image quality and character. Watch my review video below to see unedited, SOOC, 100% crops of the photos.
I share examples of the Samyang 85mm f1.4 mkII autofocus accuracy, image quality and sharpness, lens flare, bokeh and chromatic aberration. You can download a sample gallery of high resolution JPGs taken on this 85mm mkii, please find a link for that at the bottom of this blog post.
