Samyang 85mm T1.5 VDSLR AS IF UMC II Pentax K-mount objectief

Solidly built, nice sharp images, and great low-light performance. Nice little prime lens.

I bought it for the Panasonic GH4 6 months ago so didn't want to write a review until I had a good chance to place with it. For the price it's fantastic. I already had the 12mm version so knew what to expect with Samyang lenses - they're completely manual. If you're going to shoot video with it, you're going to need a tripod or at least carry a gorillapod for stabilisation. For this reason I only take it out when I know I'm going to use it. If you're tossing up whether to get this or the photography version (which is a bit cheeper) the big differences I noticed were the focus ring pull range is a lot longer and the aperture ring is smooth rather than indented. Also the markings are on the side of the lens rather than on top which I actually found to be handy.

love this lens, good colour rendition and super sharp. this still is from my Ursa 4.6k plus Samyang.

An excellent lens with excellent build quailty. The lens makes beautiful images. This is now one of my favorite lens. Highly Recommended and you can't beat the price.

This lens is superb - smooth action, decent optics and really nice bokeh. Well worth investing in for indie film makers and those shooting on a budget.
