Review on Samyang SY85M P 85Mm F1 4 Pentax by Charles Collier

This lens is one of the best lenses for portrait photography. Even with the aperture wide open at f/1.4, the shots are very sharp if you can focus properly. This is a manual focus lens, so it will take some time to focus depending on the photographer's experience and knowledge. The build quality of this lens is very solid and the focus ring is very smooth. The aperture ring is a bit stiff. The glass elements are great. The internal focusing system prevents the front elements from protruding, making it easier to use filters. The lens comes with lens hood and rear cap. Overall a very good lens. When it's wide open, purple and green fringes appear at high contrast, which is normal for most large-aperture lenses. MONEY FOR AUTOFOCUS / FAST AUTOFOCUS CAPABILITY? HAS VERY LIMITED USE; FOR PORTRAITS ONLY. As some reviewers have suggested, using Live View and attaching a 3x viewfinder helps a lot in finding sharp focus. A very affordable lens for the price. The Revain service was quick. I will update my rating. later with some pictures. As some reviewers have suggested, using Live View and attaching a 3x viewfinder helps a lot in finding sharp focus.
