Lens Review: Samyang MF 85mm F1.4 RF

The Samyang MF 85mm F1.4 RF is a manual focus telephoto prime lens designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras. With a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, it excels in low-light conditions and provides a shallow depth of field, making it ideal for portrait photography. The optical design comprises 9 elements in 7 groups, delivering sharp and high-contrast images. The lens includes an aperture ring for precise exposure control. While it offers excellent image quality, it lacks weather sealing, so caution is advised when shooting in adverse conditions.
