Previously known only as a manufacturer of bright lenses with manual focus, Samyang introduces the 50 mm standard autofocus lens with an impressive aperture of f/1.4. Hardly any photographer can do without a good, fast 50 mm lens. It can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from portraits, detail shots, street photography to landscape photography. Thanks to the wide aperture of f/1.4, this lens is ideal for wedding photography, which often has to be done without flash. But the affordable Nifty Fifty is not just suitable for that. The isolation of subjects in focus is unparalleled. Crisp results surrounded by buttery smooth bokeh are sure to impress. Combined with fast and accurate autofocus, the Samyang 50 mm F1.4 AS IF UMC offers a powerful and budget-friendly alternative to the currently available Sony lenses. For optimal optical performance, the light flow has been specifically optimized based on the relationship of the lens glass to the position of the sensors in Sony cameras. The well-crafted 50 mm F1.4 is characteristically compact for Samyang and is designed to be very lightweight despite its solid metal housing. Slip-on filter systems or screw filters can be attached to the 67 mm thread, opening up further possibilities. The interior of this lens consists of 9 glass elements arranged in 8 groups, allowing for a close focusing distance of just 45 mm. Three aspherical lenses reduce chromatic aberrations and imaging errors, ensuring high imaging performance. This results in sharp images with vibrant contrasts and natural colors. The construction is completed with a multi-layer coating that avoids reflections and ghosting.
