Pros: Weight quality price

Cons: Not very incisive - very slow autofocus

Opinion: Maybe the specimen in my possession has some problems but the autofocus seems to me very slow especially at TA with scars light. Little definition. Blurry of good level, soft and pasty, definitely not sharp and decisive. Right focal length for narrow portraits in the studio or outside. Less convincing indoors..... but I'm not an expert

Pros: Sharpness, AC, price, AF.

Cons: Yellow dominant.

Opinion: Specialized lenses, those that are rarely used unless you work in the field of expertise. Well, an 85 1.4 is a specialized lens and this is better than you can expect for anyone not specialized in the field of use, or wedding, portraiture. Even in that field we are on very high levels. I come from a 105 1.4 sold because ' precisely, it's fine the sharpness and brightness' , but carrying a large 105mm when a super tele 500mm precisely a specialty' not mine did not make sense. Never regret the gearbox, where the Samyang plays the part of the compact, always performing, for yield and autofocus. It often surprises me for the detachment, for the quality of the blurred and the absence of aberrations; probably the GM has that little extra in the blurred where he excels. EXCELLENT.

Pros: Price, yield, autofocus, weight

Cons: Yellow dominant, lack of keys, coating

Opinion: Excellent 85mm, already very sharp all open but that becomes really sharp from f / 2 onwards. The autofocus is great, fast and quiet. it is a light lens, considering the competition, even if a more voluminous hair. The quality/price ratio is at the top, it places it at the top of the market in this respect. Nice blurred. However, it brings with it some flaws: the photos have a yellow dominant, correctable in post. The lens has no key other than the manual focus ring and the painted metal barrel scratches quite easily. The hood is made of very cheap plastic, as is the cap. A bit annoying that Samyang sells separately the dck for updates (which costs 45-50€). Finally, the minimum focusing distance is 90 cm, higher than the competition.

Pros: Weight, Price, Autofocus

Cons: Colour rendering, backlight

Opinion: Budget lens that shows all its flaws when shooting against the light. Its biggest flaw, however, is related to the color rendering really far from the sigma art and sony GM series (which I use to work), the colors too warm and with magenta dominants are correctable in post, but require a waste of time that produces unacceptable slowdowns for my workflow. Definitely recommended for amateurs who do not have great pretensions, lens however light and of good workmanship. For professionals or those who want a higher quality lens I recommend the new sigma art or the Sony GM

Pros: Everything: Sharpness, bokeh, color rendering, no A.C., AF speed, ergonomics, aesthetics, tropicalization

Cons: Don't have it

Opinion: RF version: AMAZING optics. For me the ultimate portrait lens, which I would prefer to the Sony GM or Canon L even if only trivially for the value for money. Sharp to scare already at 1.4, nice soft and pasty bokeh, warm beautiful colors in pure Samyang style, lightning AF even in pursuit and video. The filter diameter 77 is very common so versatile, the dimensions are honest in relation to the opening and the same speech for the weight. Tropicalization works and allows you to bring it into adverse conditions and shoot without fear. In a nutshell, for 500/600 euros it is the perfect optics. It works well and no frills, guarantees everything that an advanced professional/amateur can and will ever REALLY need. PS: Having first owned the Samyang 85 EF, I confirm that this version is actually new and different. It has NOTHING to do with the previous one, MUCH less sharp, super invasive chromatic aberrations and slower AF.
