Questions & Answers

ramon r : Hello. I want to know if this lens is the new version of samyang with red ring and focus confirmation chip or old with yellow ring as in the photo?ARON JANOS P : Hello, mine is the one on the photo with the gold ring.GRITHER, R : The one I bought from Adorama a few months ago was the new version with the red ring and focus confirmation chip. Great, fun lens by the way. Very, very sharp if that is a consideration.
Shopper : Hi, How does this focus confirm chip works on Samyang 85mm f/1.4?JAMES L : I find it works well and is accurate. I shoot with the nikon d7000. If you look through the view finder, on the lower left corner you will see either an arrow pointing right or left, or a dot. As you focus and see an arrow, turn the focus ring in the direction of the arrow, when you get a dot, you are in focus. The more time you spend with manual focus the faster you get at it. I find this lens is a true bargain. This lens has great bokeh, and can have stunningly shallow depth of field. I hope this helps.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?CRAIG M : For astrophotography and portraits
