First Impressions (5/20/2022)
I really enjoy this lens. It has not come off my body since it arrived. 85 is my favorite focal length and I tend to lean towards warm tones in my edits, so this lens is great! The Sigma 85 1.4 is a bit sharper, but is also unjustifiably more expensive & substantially heavier. I do a lot of walking around shooting and I can really feel the difference after a while. It’s easier to use this because it’s light and produces quality images. My lens arrived with the latest firmware and in brand new condition. Amazon was the seller & distributor.
Build: The thing is big! (but surprisingly light!) The actual lens is solid, but the caps & hood feel plastic-y and of lower quality. The lens cap is not very secure and easily pops off.
Buttons & Rings: The AF/MF override switch is conveniently placed. The focus ring is fine. I don’t use it enough to comment more on it as I am primarily an AF shooter.
Image Quality: The image is great with the signature “Samyang/Rokinon” rendering! It runs on the warmer side, which is IMO is welcome for portrait photography. If it does bother you, color correcting can easily be done in post. There is vignetting but it’s not too terrible (also easily correctable in post). CA is well controlled for this focal length & aperture. The BOKEH is beautiful!! Smooth and creamy.
Auto Focus: Focus works great! It’s eye/face AF is sticky with the occasional hunting.
Stabilization: Sadly, it is not an IS lens. I do believe the lens is light enough to be mounted on a gimbal like the DJI Ronin S / SC.
Lightroom: I use a Canon R and Canon EF-EOS R adapter. When imported in lightroom, it registers as the Samyang 85 f1.4 RF.
Value: AMAZING for this price point. You will definitely get your money’s worth.
Will follow up as I become more acquainted with this lens.

I bit the bullet and moved from a APS-C sensor camera to a full from 35MM. I purchased a used Canon EOS 5D Mark III and wanted to get a great portrait lens. I did some research and found some good reviews on this lens and decided to give it a shot. I was shocked at how good it is at the price point. It focuses relatively fast and the lens is sharp. I got my start back in the 80s and 90s as a professional photographer using medium format cameras. I got burnt out and left the business just as it was starting to switch to digital. The sample shot was taken on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III with the Rokinon 85mm F1.4 AF Lens for Canon EF. Exposure is f8 at 1/200th and iso 100. I was really blown away when I zoomed in and saw all the sharp detail.

My new favorite lens. I have to use an adapter to have it work on my Canon EOS R and it worked perfectly. Almost every image came out tack sharp. So happy with it.

funciona perfectamente y resulta que todo lo anterior parece poco útil.
Solo comparable con el 50mm de canon, que es mucho mas barato pero también muy bueno.
En principio lo estoy usando en una canon R para lo que se necesita el adaptador por que es EF.
Aún no lo probé en una canon 80 que al ser aps-c queda como un 105mm aproximadamente
Es rápido, silencioso y da muy buenos resultados.
Para divertirse y tener buenos resultados
