Overview

The Samyang MF 85mm F1.2 offers outstanding optical quality with well-controlled chromatic aberrations and smooth bokeh from its 9-blade diaphragm. Weaknesses include heavy vignetting wide open and a hefty weight of 1050g. Build is premium, with an all-metal body and a rubberized focus ring that is smooth and precise, though it attracts dust. It suits manual-focus enthusiasts seeking top-tier optics for portrait or studio work, especially on mirrorless cameras.
