Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 Lens for Sony FE Mount

Image Sensor size: Full-frame Sony FE and APS-C Sony E sensors
Focal length: 50mm
Maximum aperture: F/1.4
Lens construction: 9 elements in 8 groups (3 Aspherical)

AF 50mm F1.4 FE, Samyang’s first autofocus lens, was developed for usability and for the common user. The lens, which is the most common 50mm standard angle with a bright aperture, delivers a beautiful bokeh, allowing every user to easily produce high quality photos.

The Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 FE is specifically designed to work in harmony with full-frame Sony FE mount mirrorless cameras. The flow of light is devised, based on the uniqueness of the distance from glass to sensor in mirrorless cameras to create optimal performance.

Along with the portability of mirrorless lenses, this new Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 lens is compatible with full-frame sensors to deliver the wideness and sharpness of the image to photographers.

The F1.4 aperture is by far the brightest of full-frame mirrorless lenses, offering a beautiful bokeh effect and the best quality images under various exposure conditions. Also, the 67mm filter diameter brings the maximum amount of light into the lens to create the best work of light in photography.

Based on Samyang Optics’ exceptional optical technology, Ultra Multi Coating and three aspherical lenses have been included among the nine elements in eight groups to minimise aberration and unnecessary light dispersion, delivering high resolution from the centre to the corners of the image.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
