Review on Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 Weather Sealed Lens - Canon EOS R RF Mount (SYIO85AF-RF): High-Speed Auto Focus Lens for Clear and Crisp Photography by Rosemary Veliz

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A must buy if you like being disappointed.

I have checked and read many reviews on this lens and am sure they will be well compensated for their positive feedback. Despite being one of the cheapest RF mount options out there, this poor autofocus lens isn't even worth $100. It struggles to focus on anything and unless you're in a 100% well-lit environment, you can totally forget about it. Also, the minimum focusing distance is not at all as advertised and I had to step back a few times to focus on subjects, then I was able to get closer and focus continued. one positive? A few photos I was actually able to take with the focus locked were sharp, but unless you intend to use it purely as a manual focus lens it's not worth it.

Pros
  • Consistent Test Results
Cons
  • Reliability
