FAQs:
Is the Samyang AF 85mm f1.8 Prima Lens weather-sealed?
The lens includes weather sealing and meets Samyang’s IP5-level internal standards for dust resistance. While not fully waterproof, it offers good protection in everyday outdoor conditions. This protection adds confidence when shooting on location, especially during portrait sessions in changing weather conditions.
Can I use the Samyang AF 85mm f1.8 Prima Lens on APS-C FE-mount cameras?
This lens is fully compatible with APS-C Sony FE-mount bodies, offering a 128mm equivalent field of view. This compatibility makes it even better suited for tighter headshots or subject isolation, giving APS-C users access to flattering telephoto rendering and soft background blur.
How does the lens handle background blur and bokeh?
Thanks to its 9-blade aperture and f1.8 maximum opening, the lens produces smooth, creamy bokeh with gentle separation between subject and background. This is especially valuable in portraits, where you want depth and subject emphasis without distracting highlight artefacts.
What makes the Samyang AF 85mm f1.8 Prima Lens different from previous compact 85mm lenses?
The AF 85mm f1.8 P FE is part of the Prima Series and introduces updated optics, a lighter, stronger build, and improved handling. It also features a USB-C port for firmware updates and a refined lens hood design, giving it a clear edge in portability and modern usability for hybrid shooters.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
