LENS MOUNT. SUNT E - SAMYANG AF 50MM F1.4 FE II
Photography week
|August 11, 2022
A quality lens that performs brilliantly
www.samyanglens.com £599/$699
The original edition of the T Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 FE II (badged Rokinon in the US) was Samyang's first-ever autofocus lens, launched in celebration of the company's 50th year in the business. Five years down the road, the Mark II features a new and improved autofocus system, which is faster and more consistently accurate. It's only one third of an f/stop slower than the highly acclaimed Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 G Master lens, but barely more than half the weight and only half the price to buy.
