Samyang's XP ultra-fast portrait — the 85mm f/1.2 designed for 50MP+ sensors.

The Samyang XP 85mm f/1.2 is the flagship manual-focus portrait prime from Samyang's XP (eXtreme Performance) line for Canon EF mount, representing Samyang's highest optical quality tier. The XP designation indicates a significant step above the standard Samyang 85mm f/1.4 in optical design and build quality.

The lens delivers 85mm at f/1.2 maximum aperture in Samyang's XP premium optical formula with Canon EF mount. Manual focus only, no electronic contacts. The f/1.2 maximum aperture is a notable specification — it is faster than the common f/1.4 class.

The XP 85mm f/1.2 competes directly against Canon's own EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM at a fraction of the price. For studio and portrait photographers who can work with manual focus, it provides f/1.2 subject isolation at significant cost savings. The XP optical formula delivers substantially better wide-open performance than the standard Samyang 85mm f/1.4 MK2.

Test focus ring for smooth, precise operation — at f/1.2 focus accuracy is critical. Check aperture blades for clean operation. Verify front element condition. Test infinity focus accuracy. No electronic contacts means no AF, AE, or EXIF on Canon EF bodies.
