Where creativity meets technology, the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Series II Lens for Sony E stands out as a high-quality, professional-grade lens designed for the discerning photographer. This innovative lens, renowned for its expressive portraiture capabilities, has been updated to enhance usability and product design, making it a reliable and durable choice for both professionals and enthusiasts.
The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Series II Lens inherits the original optical design that has been loved by many, while introducing new features such as the 'De-click function' and weather-sealing. These additions aim to enhance the user experience, making it easier to capture life's most precious moments.
One of the standout features of this lens is its 'De-click function', a feature designed specifically for video filming. By switching the silver ring from "Click" to "Free", you can adjust the aperture smoothly and continuously, maintaining the same brightness even when changing the aperture. This feature allows for more detailed brightness adjustments between F stops, similar to cine lenses, making it an ideal choice for videographers.
The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Series II Lens also boasts a smooth bokeh performance, thanks to its 9-rounded aperture blades. This feature effectively separates the subject from the background, making the subject more eye-catching and enhancing the overall image quality. When the aperture is stopped-down, the 9 aperture blades provide clearly defined sunstars, adding an artistic touch to your photos.
The lens features a total of 9 elements in 7 groups, including 1 Hybrid Aspherical glass to minimize spherical and distortion aberration for sharp, detailed image quality. This lens captures the intricate emotions of subjects in the most beautiful way, making it ideal for top-quality portraiture and still images.
Designed with the outdoor photographer in mind, the Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Series II Lens features weather-resistant construction. Environmental seals are located at the lens mount area to prevent infiltration of moisture and/or raindrops, providing an additional layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions.
The lens also features a new micro-patterned rubber focus ring to minimize contamination and increase grip, along with an updated product design with new components and fonts to convey a sophisticated and modern look. This lens is not just a tool, but a companion that will help you capture unforgettable images of your loved ones with vivid colors and smooth out-focus quality.
