SAMYANG announced they will release the medium prime lens, the “SAMYANG AF 85mm F1.8 P FE.” The lens will be released on August 22, 2025.
A New Addition to the Prima Series
“Prima” means “first” or “important” in Latin, and SAMYANG’s Prima series is designed to be the user’s “first lens,” the first lens they pick up when taking a photo.
The SAMYANG AF 85mm F1.8 P FE is a mid-telephoto lens featuring a bright F1.8 aperture and a compact design weighing just 272g and measuring 71.5mm in length. It is specifically optimized for portrait photography, delivering excellent sharpness at the distances commonly used in portrait photography. The smooth, creamy bokeh beautifully separates the subject from the background, adding depth and professional texture to your photos.
The lightweight design of just 272g provides excellent portability without sacrificing image quality, making it ideal for a wide range of situations, from everyday portraits to creative photography on the go.
The optical design, which pursues delicate expression, allows any tone or texture to be captured with depth and softness.
