Samyang MF 85mm f/1.4 MK2

The MK2 version of Samyang's 85mm f/1.4 manual focus lens introduces weather sealing and a de-click function for the aperture ring, catering to both stills photographers and videographers. It features a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture and a 9-blade diaphragm for pleasing out-of-focus highlights. The optical design includes a hybrid aspherical element to control aberrations, producing sharp images even at wider apertures on high-resolution sensors. Check the manual focus ring for smooth, consistent resistance across the entire range, as stiff spots can indicate internal wear. The de-click switch should operate firmly between positions. SDS ensures the weather seals at the mount are intact and that the internal optics are free from haze or fungal growth, which is particularly important for manual lenses used in varying outdoor conditions.
