A versatile normal-length lens, this lens mixes a fast, bright design with autofocus to present an ideal all-around optic.

A standard prime designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless digital cameras, this lens can also be used on APS-C models where it will provide a 75mm equivalent focal length.
Bright, fast f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.
Three aspherical elements are incorporated in the optical design to control spherical aberrations for increased clarity and resolution from edge to edge.
An Ultra Multi-Coating has been applied to individual elements in order to reduce flare and ghosting for increased contrast and a neutral color balance.

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

Is it sharper than Canon 1.4?
Asked by: Thales
We are not aware of any specific tasting comparing this lens to the Canon 50mm F/1.4/ However, this Samyang lens is designed for use with Sony E-Mount Cameras. It would be a much better choice than the Canon 50mm F/1.4 as that lens would require an adapter to work on a E-Mount camera.

question

how to do up the new fireware for this lens?
Asked by: Gary
There is a seperate lens “station” that docks the lens and allows to attach to computer for firmware upgrades. The dock needs to be purchased seperately.
