question

will it work with a nikon d3200?
Asked by: Anonymous
This version of the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 lens has the Canon mount, so would not be compatible with the Nikon D3200. For the Nikon D3200, you would need to go with the Nikon mount 85mm f/1.4 (B&H # SA8514NAE).

question

is this compatible with the Nikon D5200?
Asked by: Anonymous
The lens on this particular link is a version for Canon which is not compatible with Nikon cameras, but they do offer a version for Nikon. Below is a link to the Nikon version of the lens. The lens is a manual focus only type of lens but is compatible with the D5200. It will confirm when the subject is in focus and will also permit the cameras auto meter to work properly. See the link below for the Nikon version:http://bhpho.to/JBeyLE

What exactly does Aspherical mean?

What exactly does Aspherical mean?
Asked by: JIM
Aspherical refers to the non-spherical, mostly flat front element of the Samyang 85mm f/1.4 lens. In technical terms, lenses that use an optical assembly without large spherical pieces of glass are known as such.

Asked by: Anonymous
The Samyang 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical Lens for Canon would be compatible with the Canon 30D, and would be a great option for portraits. As for campaigns, that would really depend on what you are shooting and the aesthetic you are going for. Do keep in mind, that this lens is a manual focus lens.
