    85mm · f/1.4

    Overview

    The Walimex pro 85 mm T/1.5 VDSLR (also sold as Samyang/Rokinon) is a budget-friendly manual cine lens praised for its sharpness at T/2.8 and pleasing bokeh. It has a de-clicked aperture and geared rings for follow focus. Weaknesses include plastic build with questionable weather resistance and noticeable focus breathing. It suits videographers on a tight budget who prioritize speed and cinematic flares over autofocus or perfect build.
