SAMYANG LENS AF 50MM F1.4 FE II FOR SONY

• The smallest and lightest standard lens among all similar focal lengths with F1.4. The AF 50mm F1.4 FE II is the smallest (88.9 mm/3.5 inches) and the lightest (420 g/14.8 oz) among all standard focal length 50mm lenses with a large aperture compatible with the Sony-E mount.

• Excellent resolution in all areas of the image.

• The AF 50mm F1.4 FE II lens (standard large aperture) offers a viewing angle of 45.7˚ for full-frame and 31.1˚ for APS-C, and a bright maximum aperture of F1.4. In particular, optimal resolution is achieved through the optical design of 11 elements in 8 groups (2 ASP, 3 HR, and 1 ED). Combined with Sony's full-frame image sensor, this lens offers superior sharpness and contrast in all areas of the image.

• Fast and silent AF performance

• This new lens is capable of tracking focus on subjects precisely and quickly, and the AF motor also operates quietly and smoothly when recording videos. Samyang's linear STM (stepper motor) satisfies both photographers and videographers with quieter and more precise control of larger and heavier focus lens groups.

• Impressive background blur and bokeh, with a bright F1.4 aperture

• The AF 50mm F1.4 FE II uses a large-diameter aperture to provide smooth background blur. It effectively separates the subject from the background, using a reduced depth of field to capture a unique image where the background is compressed. The 9 aperture blades create a smooth and natural bokeh for spectacular portraits.

• Less breathing for video recording. The AF 50mm F1.4 FE II minimizes its breathing during video recording, resulting in fewer changes in the angle of view when focusing, suppressing unwanted movements on screen. This is effective when recording videos with the subject moving forward or backward, or in situations where the focus shifts forward or backward.

• Enhanced usability with a custom switch

• There is a custom switch that the user can configure to allow aperture adjustment by turning the focus ring. With the optional Lens Station, you can set the mode according to your preferences *.

* More functions will be added through firmware updates in the future.
Shorter minimum focusing distance

• The minimum focusing distance is only 0.40 m (1.31 feet), making it versatile and possible to produce a unique perspective close to the photographed subject. It facilitates taking portraits with very distinct features, still lifes, food photography, etc.

• Weather sealing

The usability of the AF 50mm F1.4 FE II lens has been developed and improved, considering not only the design but also the user's shooting environment. It has a rubber focus ring with micro-patterning, making it pleasant to focus, and the weather sealing also protects the lens from light rain, snow, and dust.
