Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 FE II / Rokinon AF 50mm F1.4 FE II
50mm · f/1.4
Overview
The Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 FE II offers improved optics with good center sharpness and pleasing bokeh, though chromatic aberration can be noticeable. Build quality is upgraded with weather sealing, a customizable switch, and a focus hold button. Autofocus is better than the predecessor but still lags behind Sony GM lenses, with some accuracy issues reported. It suits portrait and everyday photographers seeking a lightweight, affordable f/1.4 lens with modern features, but may not satisfy those needing fast, reliable AF for action.
