Overall a great lens but got some downside: I purchased the lens because the fast aperture for videos with an nd filter. The lens have a great performance in the middle of the image from around f2~f2.8 but to have great results you need to stop down around f3-f4. At f1.4 (the reason I got it) the lens had a crazy amount of chromatic aberration where the clip was unusable. My copy had a small flow where the lens hood have been hit before, wasn’t broken only deformed, but for sure the package was open before.
AttilaThe Samyang 85mm T1.5 Lens produces a slightly telephoto angle-of-view on full-frame sensors. It features a very fast maximum aperture of T1.5 and an 8 blade iris, for shallow depth of field with attractive bokeh. The focus and aperture control rings are outfitted with industry standard gearing, which provides an interface for working with a traditional follow focus. The aperture control ring has also been "declicked", which facilitates smooth iris pulls.
The 85mm has a minimum focus distance of 3.38'. Internal focusing minimizes the effects of lens breathing, which insures a more consistent angle-of-view when adjusting focus. The lens is composed of 9 elements in 7 groups, including one aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations. In addition, multi-coated elements help improve light transmission.
