Product Description

Samyang 85mm F1.8 CSC Lens – Sony E-Mount

Compact Telephoto Power for Portraits and Creative Depth

The Samyang 85mm F1.8 CSC is a bright, medium-telephoto prime lens designed for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. Offering an equivalent focal length of 127.5 mm, it’s perfect for portraits, close-ups, and artistic photography where subject separation and soft background blur are key.

Combining high optical precision with a lightweight, all-metal design, this lens delivers beautiful image quality and excellent portability — ideal for photographers who value both performance and control.

Key Features

Medium-Telephoto Perspective

With its 85 mm focal length (127.5 mm equivalent on APS-C), this lens delivers flattering compression and natural background separation — the perfect choice for portrait photography and detailed compositions.

Bright F1.8 Aperture

The fast F1.8 maximum aperture allows for superb low-light performance and creative depth of field control, helping you achieve soft, creamy bokeh and precise subject isolation.

Advanced Optical Design

The optical construction includes nine elements in seven groups, featuring four High Refractive (HR) elements and one Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) element to minimise spherical and chromatic aberrations. The result is sharp, colour-accurate images with beautiful contrast.

Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC)

Samyang’s UMC coating reduces flare and ghosting for higher contrast and improved colour fidelity — even when shooting in strong sunlight or backlit situations.

Manual Focus Precision

With a smooth manual focusing ring, photographers can achieve precise, tactile control for fine-tuned focusing. The non-rotating 62 mm front filter thread makes it easy to use polarising and ND filters without shifting alignment.

High-Quality Aluminium Build

Crafted with a robust aluminium body, the 85 mm F1.8 CSC balances durability and lightweight performance. Weighing just around 400 g, it’s an excellent travel companion for photographers who value portability without compromise.

Smooth 9-Blade Diaphragm

A rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural bokeh and pleasing out-of-focus highlights, ideal for creative portraiture and shallow-depth-of-field effects.
