A desirable telephoto for Canon EF-M-mount mirrorless cameras, the 85mm f/1.8 Lens from Rokinon pairs a sleek form factor with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture for depth of field control and greater versatility in difficult lighting conditions. The optical design features one extra-low dispersion element, which reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing, and one high refractive index element to control spherical aberrations for improved sharpness. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to boost contrast by suppressing lens flare and ghosting. Additionally, the lens has a manual focus design for precise focusing down to 2.1' and a nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth bokeh quality.

Telephoto prime is designed for APS-C-format Canon EF-M-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 136mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also affords extensive control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus techniques.

One extra-low dispersion element is used to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce imagery with a high degree of clarity and color fidelity.

A high refractive index element is used to control spherical aberrations and distortions in order to realize higher sharpness and accurate rendering.

An Ultra Multi-Coating has been applied to all lens elements in order to suppress lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.

This manual focus lens has a non-rotating 62mm front filter mount to better enable the use of polarizing, graduated ND, and other filter types that require precise positioning.

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when using selective focus or shallow depth of field techniques.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this lens compatible with rebel t3?

A: I do not have a rebel t3. If the rebel t3 can take EF lens, then it should work.

Q: 2. Can this lens be used on the 5D Mark iii?

A: Yes, this lens can be used on a Canon 5D Mark III cameras as well as every Canon DSLR with the EOS lens mount.

Q: 3. Does this lens zoom at all or is it set to 85mm?

A: No, this lens does not zoom. This is what is referred to as a Fixed focal or prime lens. Whenever you see a lens listed with a single number designating the focal, it is understood to be a non-zoom. Whenever you see a lens labled with two focals seperated by a dash (i.e. 18-55mm) that would indicate a lens with the zoom feature.

Q: 4. Does this Canon 85 lens work well with Canon R5 body? Will image be cropped or full frame with R5 camera?

A: The EF 85mm f/1.8 USM can work on the Canon EOS R5 by using the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R, BH # CAMAEFRF. The format will stay full frame. https://bhpho.to/300yC91

Q: 5. Hi All, I am little confused :), should I buy 50mm f/1/4 or 85 mm with f/1.8? I have APS-C sensor and looking for something which takes sharp, fast focus, low-light pictures (portrait/wedding/profile/star trails). f/1.4 is tempting, but not sure how much difference it will be.Thanks,

A: I'd personally go for the 85mm f1.8 lens. Its very sharp and lacks any distortion (50mm lens tend to have a slight amount of distortion by comparison to an 85mm) and would be very good for weddings, portraits and star trails etc.

Q: 6. is this compatible for canon 60d camera

My favorite lens! Razor sharp even at f/1.8 with nice bokeh and no CAs! 5

After purchasing a Sony A6000 last year, I was somewhat disappointed by the lack of affordable telephoto lenses for the Sony E mount. I considered buying the Sony 55-210, but many reviewers said that it was quite soft at the longer focal lengths and that the aperture range was restrictive in many lighting conditions. After digging around, I noticed this lens. There dont seem to be many reviews of it on the internet, but the ones I found were positive. Based on these reviews and my experience with the Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 (which is a great budget lens), I decided to purchase the 85mm. After putting it through its paces over the past several weeks, I am very happy with my purchase. The lens is quite sharp and seems to suffer little in the way of distortion or aberration. It can produce very shallow depth of field and nice bokeh. It is quite lightweight and compact for the focal length, and it balances nicely on the A6000. I find the focal length quite fun to shoot. I have had no trouble shooting handheld in daylight conditions (following the reciprocal rule as adjusted for the crop factor). The lens is of course fully manual, but with focus peaking and the focus magnifier on the A6000, I have had no trouble getting well focused shots. In fact, I would say that of the three lenses I now carry (the other two being the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and the Rokinon 12mm f/2.0), this may be my favorite to shoot with. In short, if you are looking for an affordable medium telephoto lens for the Sony A6000 and you are comfortable with a manual prime, I would highly recommend this lens. 5

Could only be improved by including autofocus. 5

This is an excellent lens for the money. While it is fully manual, it is also about half the price of the automatic Fuji 90mm F2, and smaller and lighter as well. For me, small and light counts for a lot. Overall, my lens seems to closely match Rokinon 85mm F1.8 lenses reviewed on the internet in terms of performance. In every way the mechanics are excellent. I do wish there was more resolution in the rotation of the focus ring (more degrees of rotation), but most users will not mind this. Rotation is less than 180 degrees from infinity to 0.65 meters. It replaces my previous Samyang 85mm F1.4 X-mount, which is larger and heavier. I believe it is as good or maybe slightly better than my 85mm F1.4 for landscape use, and might be considerably better than my 85mm F1.4 at very wide apertures. I think it is much sharper than my 85mm F1.4 at or near the closest focus distance. I bought the X-mount version for Fuji cameras. Clarity and image quality are very good. Bokeh is also very good. CA is small, negligible for most purposes at any aperture (just my opinion). This is a completely manual lens. It must be carefully focused manually to get best image quality. Holding focus at F1.8 for portrait use might prove difficult because depth of field is very shallow at this aperture. Note aperture setting is also manual, and there is no image stabilization. It is not weather resistant. There are no electronic contacts to send info to the camera. 5
