Category: pentax lens
The Rokinon 85mm f/1.4 Manual Focus Lens for Pentax stands out as an exceptionally bright lens, featuring a maximum aperture of f/1.4.

Known for its compact and lightweight design, it is particularly well-suited for portrait photography, providing the optimal focal length paired with a strikingly bright aperture.
Renowned for delivering sharp and clear images, the Rokinon 85mm F1.4 Aspherical Lens has gained popularity among photographers and videographers alike. It excels in creating vibrant and ultra-bright portrait photographs. When compared to competitors such as the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 and the Nikon 85mm f/1.4, the Rokinon 85mm lens holds its own impressively. What's more, it boasts the distinction of being the most affordable lens of its type on the market, priced at under $300. Despite its manual focus feature, with aperture control managed directly on the lens, the value it offers is hard to beat.
Constructed primarily from high-quality glass and aluminum, the build quality of the Rokinon 85mm lens is outstanding. Its focusing mechanism operates smoothly, utilizing an internal focusing (IF) system that ensures the lens size remains constant during adjustments. Additionally, there are minimal chromatic aberrations, and the Bokeh achieved is nearly flawless, making this lens an excellent choice for capturing artistic shots.
Each lens package includes a removable lens hood, lens caps, a protective lens pouch, and an instruction manual, along with a one-year warranty for added peace of mind. The Rokinon 85mm lens is compatible with various mounts, including Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, and Olympus 4/3. For Nikon users seeking an enhanced version, there's a slightly pricier option (Model # 85MAF-N) that integrates a built-in focus confirm chip for improved usability.
