    Telephoto

    Telephoto lenses offer optical zoom that allows photography from a distance. Lenses with a focal length of 80-135mm on full frame, 50-75mm on crop frame, and 120-180mm on medium format are ideal for portrait photography as they allow photography from a medium distance and flatter the subject's features. Larger focal lengths are used for wildlife photography, sports events, and generally for all subjects that require a greater distance.

Description

The Samyang 85mm F1.8 ED UMC CS is a prime lens for cameras with a crop-frame sensor and a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount. The F1.8 aperture creates background blur, while sharpness in the focused area makes it suitable for portrait, still-life, landscape and everyday photography. The floating focus design and special ED and HR lenses help correct chromatic aberration and control reflections and flare through the UMC coating.

It is the distance that the light rays need to travel to reach the focal point, that is, the lens sensor.
The smaller the focal distance, the larger the angle of view for the photograph and therefore the lens can capture more of what is in front of us.

    This review is about the mount: Sony E

    I bought this lens having my sony a6000. It is mainly for crop sensor (85mm is equivalent to 127.5mm on full frame cameras, which is close to 135mm) cameras as I saw from foreign reviews, that's why I ended up with this one wanting a lens for portraits. I admit that manual focus, although it "soured" me at first, in practice it was very easy to get used to and familiarize myself with it. Of course, the focus peaking of the camera and the amazing focus ring of the lens, which is "tight enough", also help with this. The lens is incredibly sharp even from f1.8 and its bokeh is "creamy". Of course, it is ideal for photos with good lighting, but at night you will definitely need to stabilize the camera somewhere because there is no oss and due to the 127.5mm which is essentially a telephoto lens, it will be difficult to take crispy photos. In conclusion, I recommend the lens without reservation if you don't have a problem with manual focus - aperture and if you mainly want it for photos with good lighting. It is also very lightweight as it is made of plastic, without this making it inferior in terms of quality. It is quite sturdy.

    Incredible lens. I bought it in MFT (m4/3) version, so its 85mm is equivalent to 170mm.
    Great construction, clearly heavier than the plastic ones on the market, but its image quality is worth it.
    Excellent solution for close-ups and details in low light situations. The manual focus is super smooth.
    As for the lack of stabilizer, if you have the internal IBIS and Electronic activated on your Lumix (yes, for those who haven't noticed, newer models have 2 internal stabilizers - a mechanical IBIS and an electronic one), you won't see any difference compared to DualIS with a stabilized lens in video!
    I loved this lens, although to capture someone's entire face, you have to be at least 2 meters away (because of the 170mm).
