Manual 85 mm portrait lens

This Rokinon 85MC is a fixed 85 mm f/1.4 lens for Canon EF DSLR cameras. Its manual-focus design and nine-element construction with aspherical surfaces produce sharp, low-flare images. The wide maximum aperture gives shallow depth of field for subject separation. Weighing 1.93 units and measuring 2.8 inches long, it is compact for its speed.

Suited to photographers who control focus themselves

Shooters who rely on autofocus will find no motor or electronic contacts here, so continuous AF and focus-confirmation aids are unavailable. Videographers who need silent, internally driven focus pulls should also look elsewhere. The 72 mm filter thread and 3.3 ft minimum focus distance suit deliberate, tripod-or-handheld portrait work.

Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture

The f/1.4 opening gathers substantially more light than slower f/1.8 or f/2 alternatives, enabling faster shutter speeds or lower ISO in dim conditions. Stopped down to f/16 the diaphragm covers a wide exposure range without neutral-density filters. This single spec decides whether the lens matches the low-light and depth-of-field needs of the shoot.

Questions about this item

Is the 85mm f/1.4 the only version available for Canon EF?

Yes, the Rokinon 85MC is a single fixed focal-length lens at 85 mm with a maximum aperture of f/1.4 and a minimum of f/16, offered in one Canon EF mount version.

What does the f/1.4 aperture actually deliver on a full-frame or APS-C body?

At f/1.4 the lens gathers the most light for shallow depth of field and low-light portraits; stopping down to f/16 increases depth of field for sharper backgrounds when needed.

How does the Canon EF mount limit or enable use on current cameras?

The native Canon EF mount fits full-frame and APS-C DSLRs directly without adapters; on mirrorless bodies an EF-to-RF or EF-to-E adapter is required for electronic communication.
