This is not good for SONY A7II

I bought this because they told me it was suitable for E-mount. But it’s a completely different lens with a different connector. What should I do with it now?

Mi lente favorita!!!

Compre este lente 85 mm para mi Pentax K-70 y la verdad es que estoy muy conforme con la compra. La nitidez es excepcional y si bien el enfoque es manual con un poco de practica se logran enfoques casi perfectos. Para el caso de Pentax cuenta con la posibilidad de usar en modo Av situando el anillo de diafragma en la posicin A y el dial de la maquina en Av. Tambin se puede usar la funcin Catch Up de la maquina que permite un disparo justo cuando el sujeto se encuentra en foco para ello he usado unas de las funciones de personalizacin U del dial de la cmara para tener asi la opcin de enfoque manual en la funcin Av y la de disparo Catch Up en la funcin U.

question

I have a Nikon D7100 that has a motor built in. Can it autofocus this lens even though it is a manual focus lens?
Asked by: Anonymous
No it cannot. The D7100 requires that the lenses be designed to be focused automatically (aka Autofocus lenses). A lens such as this which is designated as a manual focus only lens cannot be autofocused even if the camera has an autofocus engine in it. That is one of the reasons this lens is as affordable as it is.

question

Hi, I just ordered this lens upon seeing it but I can't find info about this anywhere other than B&H photo, not even on the Samyang site. Just wanted to make sure this is an actual product that will ship in 7-14 days like your website says. :)Thank you, Ali
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes. The Samyang 85mm f/1.4 is a manual aperture/manual focus lens, designed to fit on the X-mount Fuji cameras. It is estimated to ship in 7-14 days, and you will receive a shipping confirmation and tracking number once it does.

question

Is the focusing machine action on this lens silent for use in video capture? (when using auto-focus)
Asked by: Anonymous
Unfortunately, this lens is manual focus only, which would be very ideal for shooting video since it does not produce any sound.

question

Is the UMC version? What's the difference between Samyang version and Rokinon version?
Asked by: Anonymous
Both the Samyang and Rokinon 85mm lenses will have a UMC coating. In terms of specs, build, and price, there is relatively no difference between the two models.
