It is competitively priced and light-weight. This medium telephoto lens inherits the renowned image quality of Samyang’s manual focus series and also boasts beautiful out of focus bokeh and availability for a variety of cameras.

This manual-focus 85mm F1.8 ED UMC CS lens is a medium telephoto lens, with a similar angle of-view to a 135mm lens when compared to full-frame cameras. The Samyang MF 85mm F1.8 ED UMC CS is designed with 9 lens elements in 7 groups and it delivers high resolution from the centre to the corners of the image. A high-refractive and an extra-low dispersion element, along with Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) help minimise chromatic aberrations and deliver clear, vibrant images. This lens is ideal for portraits, with beautiful bokeh from its floating-element system. Its low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field are especially useful features. Read More »

DPReviewTV: 4k and 6k Photo Modes Explained

By Louis Ferreira | Published: August 14, 2018

DPReviewTV decided to cover 4k and 6k in depth for those that haven’t experimented with them yet. I hope the next generation of m43 cameras are able to perform these captures in RAW since I never shoot JPEG, but this feature could be useful for photographers that do not mind shooting RAW.
