Samyang AF 50mm f/1.4 FE Lens for Sony E
The Samyang AF 50mm lens boasts auto focus and delivers the same strengths and benefits that the manual focus version does. It is the first Samyang lens to feature autofocus and it works well with phase and contrast detection sensors allowing for quick, smooth focusing when in operation. The auto-focusing mechanism provides accurate results even when used in less-than-optimal lighting conditions.
Designed specifically to fit on the Sony FE Mount, this lens achieves a larger field of view when used with mirrorless cameras equipped with full-frame sensors while still supporting APS-C format cameras. This ultimately gives you the ability to capture more detail in a shot with a variety of cameras, perfect if you are photographing portraits or nightscapes.
The 50mm lens from Samyang uses 9 glass elements in 8 groups, and this includes three high-quality aspherical lenses. The aspherical lenses ensure that you get superior resolution in the center of your image that also extends to the corners. Chromatic aberrations are reduced to a minimum so you’ll save time correcting later on in post-production.
The Samyang AF 50mm offers a minimum focusing distance of 45cm; this is incredibly useful if you need to photograph subjects that are close to you
The Samyang 50mm lens has a circular aperture with nine rounded blades. This means that those all-important defocused background shots have smooth rounded bokeh which is much more visually appealing than those created by straight blades
Samyang employs a multi-layered anti-reflective coating on the lens and this ensures that the maximum amount of light enters the lens while also keeping lens flare and ghosting under control leading to sharper, brighter images and more accurate color reproduction every time
