Rokinon has refused to fix major flaw in this lens for years

Huge flaw of this lens is that Rokinon stubbornly refuses to fix a gigantic bug, easy to address but they don't care, after getting nagged for years. This lens will not communicate the focal length over to your camera, even though it's an AF/active-mount lens. So for SteadyShot to work, and for EXIF data to populate correctly (for loading lens profiles, etc.), you have to spend wasteful/priceless minutes potentially missing your shot, digging into the menus to manually set it, and then (remember to) switch back to automatic when you swap out the lens.

Rokinon 85mm 1.4

The lens has been working perfectly along side my Sony a7iv. I use it 90% of the time and creates amazing pictures at a very affordable price. Would recommend over 1st party Lens and use the extra money towards a flash, tripod or another lens.

A must buy

This lens is a game changer when it comes to 85mm. It performs just as if not slightly better than the canon equivalent and at a much lower price point.

My go to 85MM lens

This lens pretty much lives on my camera. I love the image look of Rokinon lenses and I hope they make more RF lenses for EOS R cameras.

Great 3rd party Lens

Exceptional Len super sharp and beautiful bokeh. Mine would hunt for focus occasionally but that?s been addressed with a firmware update ( I just haven?t done it yet). But Adorama has a great price and super fast shipping pick one up, you won?t regret it.

Great optics at a great price

I love the metal construction yet it being lightweight. The AF is fast and quiet and the 14mm only has slight vignetting and barrel distortion. The center is sharp wide open; stopping down to f/4 resolves these issues. I have it paired with my EOS R5 on a DJI RS2. The weight is so clutch during a wedding?I go with the R5 and this 14mm. Using 4K crop mode (5.1K oversampled), I get a 22.4mm FOV, no overheating (23.98 and 29.97fps), and no backache from doing gimbal work for 10 hours. My only ?gripe? is that I wish it were faster (f/1.8 or even f/2.0 would?ve been nice).

Great for Night Photography

I shopped around and researched for months for a wide angle full frame lens. I love astrophotography and haven't been able to fully dive into it without a wide angle lens. I decided on this one because it was within my budget, had great reviews, and could deliver what I was trying to achieve. I've had it for about a month or so now, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's quiet, fast, and very sharp. The first night I went out after getting this lens, I was literally SQUEALING with happiness because I couldn't believe what this lens was allowing me to do!! I'm so excited to keep learning and using this to get the shots I want

Seriously excellent. Samyang/Rokinon pricing is unreal

I own quite a few Samyang/Rokinon lenses at this point, and I've been consistently impressed with each and every single one. The autofocus on this is snappy, immediately tracking onto the eye. Not quite as quiet as the 1.8/35, but that's okay. Samyang has absolutely nailed their lens designs and coatings. Bokeh on any 1.4/85 is going to be special, and this lens is no exception. A very affordable lens for what it is. Surprisingly light, weather sealed and excellent image quality.

Wonderful product, wonderful price

If you're looking at getting into serious portraiture, I highly recommend this lens. Its minimum focus distance leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not enough of a drawback for me. All lenses have to make compromises somewhere, and I still adore this lens. Autofocus is quick and accurate. No complaints, here.

85mm AF Finally!

Love this lens! I had the MF version forever and I'm very glad there's an AF available now. It can be a little slow to focus during movement photos (even with increased shutter speed), but that's my only feedback. Aside from that it's a high quality lens that offers stunning results.

The best value/performance 85mm lens on the market

I have owned about four 85mm lenses over the years including a Carl Zeiss 85mm f/4 which was a joy to carry around due to its tiny size as well as the Sony Carl Zeiss 85mm f1.4 with Sony A mount. This Rokinon 85mm has sharpness that equals the CZ 85mm f4 (made to be used with Leica rangefinders). The price of the CZ is about the same as the Rokinon however the CZ was manual focus and the Rokinon has autofocus. This Rokinon is sharp centrally at f/1.4, a little soft in the corners. By f/2.8 it is truly sharp everywhere you look. For portraits the slight softness in the corners is of no significance. I find little to no chromatic aberration in this lens. Besides being sturdily built one of the features that really stands out is the light weight of this lens compared to the competitors. It is bulky in volume but no more so than others. Lastly I find the autofocus is quite fast and quiet. I do not shoot cinema so I cant comment whether the focus is quiet enough for a camera mounted microphone. For the money this is the second best value lens I have ever purchased. The number one is a Rokinon 35mm f2.8. That lens is made of plastic and weighs 3 ounces. It is VERY inexpensive. The sharpness of that tiny 35mm Rokinon lens falls just a bit short of my Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens and weighs about one-sixth of the Sigma. Bottom line, if you want a great 85mm lens and not just a great inexpensive 85mm lens then you should strongly consider this Rokinon.

Tremendous image quality at a very good price point

I had read so many reviews for this lens that were extremely favorable and for an 85mm f1.4 the price is so good you can't go wrong. I did a test for sharpness at the center at aperture f1.4. I compared it to a Sony Carl Zeiss 85mm f1.4 for Sony A mount that I purchased about 8 years ago for about $1,600. There was no competition, the Rokinon blew away that Sony Carl Zeiss lens. The corner sharpness is good at f1.4 but outstanding when you get to f2.8. The autofocus is fast and quiet and accurate. When I do my tests for sharpness I take a picture of the books in a bookcase. I also have my business card taped onto the shelves at a distance of 10 feet. That business card is tack sharp in the center at f1.4. I have since sold the Sony CZ lens!! I am a professional fine art photographer.

FEATURED REVIEWS

A No Brainer!

By Alphonso J.

Read the reviews both positive and negative, weighed my options as I'm sure you are since you're reading this. Was going use this for portraits mainly, so "IS" wasn't a necessity (using a tripod). After taking a few "test shots" I have to say I'm amazed on the quality of the glass and clarity. Edges and center are sharp, Boken even in low light was really good. I am a "Red Ring" Canon lens fan-boy and with 98% of my lens being L-Series. I've no regrets to adding this to my stable of glass.

Take your photography to new heights with the Rokinon 85mm F1.4 AF lens for Nikon F-mount cameras, a quintessential tool for portrait and low-light photography. Engineered to deliver superior imaging with Nikon's most advanced full-frame sensors, this lens also excels on APS-C sensor models, providing a high-speed 127.5mm equivalent focal length that's ideal for telephoto shots.

The lens's optical construction features a Hybrid Aspherical element, which reduces aberrations and allows for a more compact design, ensuring your images are sharp and clear. With two Linear Ultrasonic Motors (LSMs), the autofocus system is both fast and quiet, adjusting a single inner lens group to achieve precise focus with minimal effort. The inclusion of an AF/MF switch enhances usability, allowing photographers to swiftly toggle between autofocus and manual focus settings.

Durability and reliability are at the forefront of the Rokinon 85mm F1.4 AF's design, boasting weather sealing and an all-metal construction that can withstand challenging shooting environments. The ergonomic design, size, and grip are tailored for comfortable handling during extended shooting sessions.

The lens's f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and provides extensive control over depth of field, enabling photographers to isolate subjects with ease and create images with a dreamy, selective focus effect. The rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality, making the out-of-focus areas of your photographs as stunning as the sharply rendered subjects.

Additional features include Internal Focus, which maintains the lens's length during focusing and prevents the front element from rotating, facilitating the use of polarizers and graduated filters. The lens combats chromatic aberration effectively, ensuring all colors focus precisely at the same point for reduced color fringing and heightened sharpness.

The Rokinon 85mm F1.4 AF lens is equipped with advanced coatings that minimize flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and light transmission for impeccable image quality. The non-rotating filter mount adds convenience for filter aficionados.

Included with the lens are a reversible lens hood, lens caps, and a soft pouch case, providing everything you need to protect and transport your lens. Whether capturing intimate portraits or exploring the subtleties of low-light scenes, the Rokinon 85mm F1.4 AF lens for Nikon F-mount is an indispensable asset for both professional and passionate photographers alike.
