Fast-Aperture Short-Telephoto Prime. The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Series II’s length and bright maximum aperture make it an ideal lens for portraiture. Its speed also means it’s great for low-light shooting and for depth-of-field control when using selective-focusing techniques. Using a DX camera? This lens will give you a 127.5mm focal length.

Advanced Optics. The seven-group/nine-element design incorporates a hybrid aspherical element that helps to combat color fringing and spherical aberrations, all while retaining sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy at any aperture or focus distance. The Ultra Multi-Coating controls ghosting and flare for a contrasty, color-neutral image.

Manual Focus. The manual-focus design allows for precision adjustments and lets you work with subjects as close as 3.6 feet away, while the internal-focusing system ensures that the lens maintains the same length during operation. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm lets you render smooth bokeh.

High-Quality Build. The 85mm f/1.4 II boasts a durable, weather-sealed, all-metal housing, which means you can use it in inclement weather and unfavorable environments.
