Description — Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 FE
The Rokinon AF 85mm f/1.4 FE Lens is a full-frame telephoto prime designed exclusively for the Sony E mount. With a maximum aperture of f/1.4, it delivers the kind of light-gathering capability that makes it a strong candidate for portrait, event, and available-light photography. The 85mm focal length is a well-established choice among portrait photographers, offering flattering compression at typical shooting distances.
Both autofocus and manual focus are supported, giving photographers the ability to switch between modes based on the shooting scenario — whether tracking subjects or pulling focus manually for more deliberate work. The 77mm filter thread is a practical standard size, compatible with most polarizers, ND filters, and UV protectors without adapters. At 568g, the lens balances well on full-frame Sony mirrorless bodies without feeling unwieldy.
Note that there is no built-in image stabilization, so handheld shooting in low light will benefit from a camera body with IBIS. This is a straightforward, capable 85mm prime for Sony E-mount shooters.
