Review Summary

This lens is a worthy replacement for my old 50mm. I like the extra 5mm it gives as well the its excellent auto focus, image quality, color accuracy, low light performance, and sharpness throughout its entire focal range. The only flaw is its more-than-usual vignetting, which is annoying but easily corrected. For the price, it?s a no-brainer and goes well with my Samyang 35mm, 85mm, and 100mm macro.

This is the little engine that could. It is a lower-priced budget lens that is holding its own against lenses costing 3 times as much. I was very much surprised by the sharpness and quality of this lens. Also, it is small, compact, and very light, and at 45mm it is perfect for street scenes or portrait photography. If you are looking for a great budget prime lens, this one is DEFINITELY worth a strong look.

Lens is great for the price I can’t think of anything that can compare. The lens station was pretty straight forward. All in all this is a surprising lens.

I am actually quite surprised at the photos this lens gets for the price. I definitely recommend it if you have a budget or just need it for hobbyist reasons. You could do pro photography in a pinch with this too.

Excellent compact prime lens. As a zoom person, I have hardly any appreciation for primes. But traveling light with large zoom attached to camera stored in holster makes luggage too bulky. Decided to get the lightest compact prime to serve mainly as a body cap for transportation. Didn’t expect much performance of this 45/1.8. Was I wrong… Picture quality with A9 far exceeded my expectations. Especially fully opened in comparison with similar lenses. Now I found the niche work for the lens. Stays on the camera body most of time, unless I need bulky zooms for my standard work. The only minor complaint is clumsy lens hood design.

Clearer, wider the new standard in lens design
Tiny But Premium
With less distortion than 35mm lenses and a wider angle than 50mm, the AF 45mm F1.8 FE opens up a range of photographic styles and themes. This lens will deliver the high contrast and dimensionality typical of specialized lenses while retaining spectacular resolution thanks to an outstanding optical design. Photographers can take advantage of the bright F1.8 aperture, delivering blurry backgrounds, and the 9 aperture blades that produce striking sunstar effects, adding creativity to every picture. In addition, the lens is compact (2.2" / 5.61cm) and light (5.71 oz / 162g) so it is highly portable.
The Samyang AF 45mm F1.8 FE has been designed to provide the most suitable angle of view to imitate the natural human field of vision (53 degrees), and its design sets a new standard in lens craftsmanship. Freed from the design limitations of lenses for reflex cameras, and embracing the strengths of optical designs for mirrorless cameras, Samyang brings you a new breed of standard lens.
A new era in lens design
A lens made especially for mirrorless cameras
Invented in 1888, the Double Gauss lens design is still used today, but it is not ideal for mirrorless cameras, which is why Samyang has developed a new kind of lens that smoothes over many of the weaknesses of mirrorless cameras through cutting edge lens technology, while enhancing the high resolution offered by mirrorless cameras. So try the Samyang AF 45mm F1.8 FE to experience the incredible resolution for which specialized prime lenses are known, and take advantage of the high pixel count of your mirrorless camera with its innovative lens design.
Delivering closer, clearer pictures even at a close focus distance of 45cm
With a minimum focus distance of 45cm, the Samyang AF 45mm F1.8 FE offers you a feeling of intimacy which is crucial to taking close up pictures of babies and pets. At only 162g, the AF 45mm F1.8 FE is so light you can carry it with you anywhere and everywhere.
Achieve beautiful blurry backgrounds with a bright F1.8 aperture
The bright aperture of the F1.8 allows many different expressions of photographic depth. A shallow depth of field provides the beautiful blurry background that highlights a subject and emphasizes its liveliness, while also providing a range of perspectives when portraying a variety of subjects like babies, pets, and food.
Weighing only 162g, it's a perfect lens for small, light, mirrorless cameras
This light, compact lens complements the strengths of mirrorless cameras. With 40 years of excellence in lens design, Samyang has created an optic that will give the photographer clear resolution without weighing them down. It's a lens so light that it will fit in the palm of your hand, and so quiet that you can enjoy it in any situation.
The iris mechanism uses 9 aperture blades to create brightly defined sunstars
With 9 aperture blades, this lens offers consistent, beautiful bokeh, and clearly defined sunstars when the aperture is stopped-down. Whether it's day or night, those sunstars will add extra panache to any photo.
Fast, precise and quiet auto focusing
Never miss another unforgettable moment with this fast, smooth autofocus with zero vibrations. With its Linear Activator Step Motor technology, you can experience consistent, internal autofocusing, which is fast and stable.
