Meet the new and improved Samyang AF 50mm f/1.4 FE MK2 Lens for Sony E, the lightest large-aperture standard lens compatible with Sony FE mount. The AF 50mm f/1.4 FE MK2 is made with ultra-precision aspherical lenses for exquisite sharpness and soft, beautiful bokeh. The MK2 also features a customisable focus hold button, a custom function switch, and a near-silent AF that's faster and more precise than its predecessor. In addition, the sleek new redesign means the lens weighs just 420g and is less than 90mm long.
Key Features:
Smallest & Lightest Large-Aperture Standard Lens
The AF 50mm f/1.4 FE MK2 is the smallest (88.9mm long) and lightest (420g) among all the large-aperture standard 50mm focal length lenses compatible with the Sony FE mount, so it's even a perfect match to compact Sony mirrorless cameras with a gimbal.
Excellent Resolution in All Areas of the Image
Optimum resolution is achieved through the 6 special glasses (2 U-ASP, 3 HR, and 1 ED) among the optical design of 11 elements in 8 groups. Combined with Sony's full-frame image sensor, this lens delivers superior sharpness and contrast in all areas of the image.
Impressive Background Blur and Bokeh with Bright F1.4 Aperture
The AF 50mm f/1.4 FE MK2 uses a large-diameter aperture to provide smooth background blur. It effectively separates the subject from the background, using a shallow depth of field and adding drama to the scene. Also, it is equipped with UA (Ultra-precision Aspherical) lenses, so you can enjoy the natural and refined bokeh. Using this smooth bokeh, you can freely create photos highlighting your subject!
Advanced Fast and Quiet AF for Stills and Movies
Tracking the subject accurately and quickly, the AF also operates quietly and smoothly when shooting video. Samyang's Linear STM (Stepping Motor) satisfies both photographers and videographers with quieter and more accurate control of the focusing lens groups.
Focus Hold Button & Custom Switch
The lens's Focus Hold Button keeps the lens locked at the desired focusing distance. The Custom Switch can be set to allow adjustment of the aperture silently by rotating the focus ring. Using the optional Lens Station, you can set up the mode to suit your own preference.
Short Minimum Focusing Distance
The minimum focusing distance is just 40cm, so it's versatile and allows a unique perspective close to the subject. This makes it easier to take close-up and dramatic shots of food, portraits, and nature.
Weather-Sealing Design and New Design
The usability of the AF 50mm f/1.4 FE MK2 lens has been developed and enhanced, taking into consideration not only the design but also the user's shooting environment. It has a micro-patterned rubber focus ring, so feels great to operate and weather-sealing also protects the lens from light rain, snow, and dust. The matte finish and the subtle red ring (dependent on viewing angle) give it a modern feel.
