Open Box: Used Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Auto Focus Lens for Sony E-Mount undefined

 AF 85mm F1.4 FE   The AF 85mm F1.4 FE is inspired by the optical vision of the MF 85mm F1.4 AS IF UMC, which has been loved for its beautiful out-of-focus images since its launch in 2008: however, this new lens develops the original's existing strengths with a much more advanced optical design, newly optimized for mirrorless cameras. This lens of great value and charm with high resolution encapsulates Rokinon's universally respected 40-year optical technology in your photographs.  Optical performance, and photographs with emotional punch  Delivering sharpness with beautiful bokeh  The AF 85mm F1.4 FE cherishes Rokinon's world class optical technology while envisioning a new leap forward, with its quick and accurate autofocus performance and excellent resolution.  Its complex optical construction is comprised of 11 glass elements, among which are special High Refractive (HR) glass, which successfully allow both a compact size and high image resolution. The achromatic design, incorporating Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass, effectively corrects chromatic aberrations and minimizes peripheral softness, creating lively images in vivid colors.  Exceptional rendering even at the brightest apertures  The AF 85mm F1.4 FE's optical design minimizes optical aberrations, while maximizing the image quality from corner to corner. Its detailed rendering results in exceptional image quality, even on the latest high-resolution full-frame cameras; and its bright maximum aperture means you can enjoy this excellent performance even when shooting indoors or in darker conditions.  Exceptional bokeh  The lens's attractive bokeh, created through precise lens polishing, adds a great feeling of depth and space in your photographs. Also, its aperture mechanism comprises 9 precisely-controlled iris blades, providing natural, circular, out-of-focus highlights at all apertures. With this smooth bokeh, achieved through various optical technologies, you can create images full of character in your portrait or subject photography.  Expressing a visual feeling of depth  The short telephoto focal length, combined with the wide maximum aperture of f/1.4, enables photographers to achieve a dramatically shallow depth-of-field, setting your pictures apart from those taken with other lenses. This optic offers great creative freedom: it yields images with depth, while maintaining an appropriate distance from the subject; it separates subject and background naturally, providing an impressive visual feeling of depth.  Controlling chromatic aberration with ED glass  The AF 85mm F1.4 FE features a total of 11 glass elements; the ED (Extra Low Dispersion) elements have been incorporated into its precise achromatic design. This design corrects chromatic aberrations, and creates quality results, with peripheral softness also being well-controlled.  Designing a complex optical system with High Refractive elements  Four HR (High Refractive) elements, made of special materials with an outstanding refractive index, improve optical performance and enable a compact optical design. The AF 85mm F1.4 FE was designed from the ground-up with this technology, to lessen its users' burden with a shorter length and smaller size.  Fast and efficient autofocus with DLSM Technology  DLSM (Dual Linear Sonic Motor) works with ultrasonic vibrations, which cannot be heard by human ears, to successfully give a silent autofocus performance. The accurate high frequency signals, controlled with Rokinon's own protocols, precisely operate the DLSM. Specialists in optics, mechanical engineering, and electronics, have researched cooperatively to give these powerful results for a short telephoto lens. The introduction of DLSM technology on an 85mm lens means you can comfortably and silently capture the subjects you want, with quick efficiency.  Weather sealing design for protection from adverse conditions  The aluminum body, designed with precision by mechanical engineering specialists, has only three spaces in its basic design. Weather sealing covers even these small spaces to effectively protect the lens from dust and rain. This protective design enables users to capture the moment outdoors in any environment, providing the dependability you need to keep shooting.  Outstanding contrast with Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) technology  Rokinon's Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) technology is applied through a thorough cleaning process, followed by Ion-Beam Sputtering (IBS), which controls the spread of reflections while still enabling a high transmittance of light. This UMC technology reduces unwanted reflections and provides crystal clear image quality, minimizing flare and ghosting effects in high contrast environments, such as backlit pictures and nightscapes.  Its compact and lightweight design elevates it to the best in its class for an 85mm F1.4 lens  The AF 85mm F1.4 FE is a medium-telephoto lens with a very bright aperture. Thanks to its compact optical design and aluminum construction, it can be contained within a small and lightweight body, enabling photographers to carry and handle a lens of this type with ease.

Used Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Auto Focus Lens for Sony E-Mount undefined

Great lens 1.4 looks great AF is fast on SONY A7IV

Great Budget Lens

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 has refused to fix major flaw in this lens for years

It's a awesome, light telephoto lens that I can basically take anywhere for my street photos!

Great for street photography

The best lens!!! Adorama customer service rocks!!

100% satisfied

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.

Rokinon 85mm 1.4

Quit working three weeks after purchased.

Worked great for three weeks

im returning it because it was hare to get focus . i got 1 good one from every 5

bad focus

Quick AF and sharp. Anytime I swap lenses I find myself wanting to put this back on the camera. Very pleased

Solid product

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.

A must buy

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.

My go to 85MM lens

Great 14mm lens with a beautiful look.  I am falling in love with Rokinon lenses and I hope they make more RF mounts for EOS R cameras.

Great lens for the price

It?s a really good lens! Its price worths a lot.
The best one at this price

Really good option

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 3rd party Lens

Great wide angle lens with low distortion and great value!  I wish I purchased it sooner than I did!

Great 14MM

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 optics at a great price

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

Great for Night Photography

super sharp and fast focus. great choice for the price.

sharp lens

great lens for the price. sharp and fast focus

good for the price

One great lens. The Bokeh on it is amazing.

Bokeh Monster

Sharp and fast! Great autofocus and good build quality. Weather sealed too!

Great lens!

Love the sharpness, color and ability to take in the whole landscape. quick autofocus, fantastic in low light. I used focus peaking for manual focus of Milkyway. Was a great first night out with it. I would highly recommend.

Love this lens

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.

Seriously excellent. Samyang/Rokinon pricing is unreal

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.

Wonderful product, wonderful price

Love it my pics  are now clearer and I can instantly focus where I want with out disturbing the camera

Good lens for the money, improves my RE photos

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.

85mm AF Finally!

The Best lens!!!

I don't have to spend $1,500.00 for an original nikkor 85mm f1.4 or f1.2 af when I can get the same quality with rikonon 85mm f1.4 af at quarter price lesser.

Comparable quality with oem nikkor

Really great quality lens! Love the bokeh on it. Perfect for weddings!

10/10 recommend!!!

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.

The best value/performance 85mm lens on the market

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.
