Samyang's original MF 85mm f/1.4 — the stills version that spawned cinema and AF variants.
The Samyang 85mm f/1.4 AS IF UMC is the original stills version of Samyang's hugely popular portrait prime. Available for virtually every mount, it provides f/1.4 at 85mm with UMC coating at a fraction of first-party prices.
Optically good — same formula used in the VDSLR, DS, and later AF versions. Sharp from f/2 with pleasant bokeh at f/1.4. UMC coating for flare control. Manual focus with smooth ring. AS IF (Aspherical Internal Focus) design.
Available for Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Sony E, Pentax K, MFT, and more. 72mm filter thread. Approximately 540g. No electronic contacts on most versions — fully manual. Full-frame coverage. Also sold as Rokinon and Bower.
Available used very cheaply — one of the most popular budget portrait primes. The AF version (ID 1160/687) adds autofocus. For manual focus portrait enthusiasts — focus peaking on mirrorless makes MF at f/1.4 practical.
