Rokinon AF 50mm f/1.4 FE autofocus lens for Sony E mount
Few days ago I reported about the new Rokinon 50mm f/1.4 autofocus (AF) full frame lens for Sony E-mount. The US price of $699 is now confirmed and the lens is currently available for pre-order. Reviews of the same Samyang branded lens can be found here and here.
Lens features, specifications and AF speed video test:
- A standard prime designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless digital cameras, this lens can also be used on APS-C models where it will provide a 75mm equivalent focal length.
- Bright, fast f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and also affords increased control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.
- Three aspherical elements are incorporated in the optical design to control spherical aberrations for increased clarity and resolution from edge to edge.
- An Ultra Multi-Coating has been applied to individual elements in order to reduce flare and ghosting for increased contrast and a neutral color balance.
- The integrated autofocus motor works in conjunction with Sony cameras' focusing systems for quick, accurate, and precise AF control. Manual focus override is also available for refining your focus position.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
