Cheaper alternative

If you can live with manual focus this is definitely worth a look at half the price of the Canon (auto focus) equivalent.

Very good value for money. Rokinon 1.4/85 manual focus and manual aperture lens for full frame Sony E mount. Sharp lens wide open at f/1.4, no complaints.

Good for astrophotography

I purchased this lens to fill a gap between my 135mm and 50mm lenses for astrophotography. I have used this lens on numerous occasions now and I am very pleased with the results. I pair this lens with a Canon T6i for wider images than I get using a 135mm, but more detail than I get using a 50mm. I step it up to f/2.8 and get round stars to the edges.

Another Great Rokinon Lens for Astrophotography

This is the third Rokinon UMC lens I own for astrophotography having already purchased the 24mm f1.4 and the 135mm f2 from B&H. Although I cant comment on how they perform for street, landscape or portrait photography, they make excellent lenses for astro work at a friendly price tag. Users used to auto focus will be disappointed as these lenses do not offer AF, but their corner to corner sharpness along with very low coma make them almost perfect on unforgiving star images. Stop them down at least one stop and they really shine as is typical of any lens with this wide an aperture. B&H has always excelled as my go to source for everything photographic.

I've heard a lot of good reviews with Rokinon's design and performance. The moment I started testing with this new lens, I knew it had such valuable quality. It's more affordable and yet carries such a strong character

just another bad one?

By Sterling
Rated 3 out of 5

3 stars because my usage of the lens could be on the extreme end. It may work for other applications. My one and only use for the lens was astrophotography. I therefore gave it THE TEST - stars. I tested the lens with a Canon 6D (full-frame) and a Canon 7D-II (APS-C). I will comment on the 7D-II results since a cropped sensor should hide some of a lens' imperfections. The test: using LiveView, I centered a moderately bright star and used 10X for focusing. I took a center photo, then adjusted such that I could take photos of the same star in each corner of the FoV. The results: I used FastRawViewer to inspect the photos. The center star photo was fairly sharp and the star was round. The corner star photos had significant distortion of the star. For all photos, all mid to fairly bright stars displayed significant purple/magenta fringing. I repeated this test on a few different stars. The results were the same. While I could reduce the fringing effect with some manual adjustments using DxO PhotoLab 6, it would be problematic if working on a batch of photos for stacking. The lens may work well/okay for daylight imaging. I did not test that. Of course, it could be the notoriously poor QC for Samyang/Rokinon lenses and I got a bad one. I did not bother getting a replacement, and just returned the lens for refund. Buyer Beware.

An amazing lens for the price

This lens comes with no electronics at all, and it is as manual as it gets. But what you do get is some nice sharp glass. The lens feels well made and the focus throw is long and perfectly dampened. This lens is pretty good in the center wide open, but it really shines at f2.8. Excellent value for money.

Hi, I'm from France, where this lens is still not available.It's why I want to buy one from your shop, but I have some concerns.Should I pay any VAT or custom fees or maybe taxes to deliver this lens in France ?Thanks a lot for helping me.Valry
Asked by: Anonymous
B&H does not apply any tax on orders shipped outside NY State. In the USA we do not have any VAT type taxes to add to your order either. International orders are generally subject to local import duties and taxes. There is a feature in the cart called the landed cost calculator, where you can choose to have the taxes/import duties calculated and collected by B&H beforehand. Once you entered in your country of destination in the shipping calculator, two options would pop-up: Pay Now, or Pay on Delivery. If you click on Pay Now, and then choose a shipping option, the Duties and Tax would be calculated.

Do you recommend this lens for e-commerce photography?
Asked by: Stéphanie
As with other kinds of photography, this lens might or might not be well-suited for e-commerce based on the kind of product imagery you are looking to create. Due to the APS-C crop factor of the Fujifilm X-series bodies, this lens has an equivalent focal length of 127.5mm, which makes it a great lens for tight/narrow shots, but tough to work with in smaller studios. Its wide aperture makes it great for shots utilizing a very shallow depth of field, so it also works great for outdoor/lifestyle e-commerce.

What the version with AE chip can do vs without chip, on my Canon EOS RP, regarding focus and exposure ?
Asked by: Oldrin
The AE (Automatic Exposure) chip in the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC Lens for Canon EF with AE Chip is designed to relay focus confirmation to the viewfinder in the camera, enable the use of auto-exposure modes, and transfers EXIF data between the lens and camera.

question

Just how 'manual' is this lens? Is it a throwback to the days when you had to fully open the aperture, focus, then close the aperture, then shoot the picture? Will the lens at least automatically stop down to aperture I set when I trip the shutter?
Asked by: Ronald
Yes the lens will close down to the aperture that you set. I find this lens to be a great choice I love it.

question

if this lens does not have electronic components does that mean if you put it on a Sony a7/a7r body it shouldnt have a apsc crop? I'm a little confused about what dpreview's article saying how rokinon has 2 new lens for the Sony FE mount. And this was linked to this lens.
Asked by: Anonymous
The image will not be cropped on an a7 or a7R; though this has nothing to do with the lack of electronics. The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 lens for Sony E mount is a full frame lens, so its image circle will cover the entire sensor of a full frame E mount camera.
