Samyang 50mm F1.4 AS UMC
This is a full-frame prime lens for Canon EF, covering 50 mm and a maximum aperture of f/1.4. It weighs 575 g, and was released in 2015. That combination suits portrait and low-light photography.
It is a manual focus standard prime lens designed for full-frame cameras. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and depth-of-field control, making it ideal for portrait photography. The optical design includes one aspherical and one hybrid aspherical element to minimize aberrations and deliver sharp, high-contrast images. Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) is applied to reduce flare and ghosting. The lens features a durable build with a smooth focusing ring for precise manual focus control.
