But don't get me wrong, it's not that the build quality is bad, it's just nothing to write home about. Of course, the extreme lightness comes at the moderate cost of just average build quality. On holding this new 75mm lens in my hand, it feels extremely light - vastly lighter than any of the 85 millimeter options for Sony that I've played with. This is a thoughtful addition to the overall package and certainly something that photographers can use in the real-world versus the cloth carrying bags that are often thrown in the box by other lens manufacturers.

In fact, Samyang's new lens is just a bit larger than their 45mm F1.8 option.Īs with previous "tiny but mighty" series lenses, Rokinon is shipping the new 75mm f/1.8 with a soft carrying case. One of the first things I noticed when unboxing Rokinon's new 75mm f/1.8 lens was just how small and compact it is compared to other similar options out there. Samyang, on the other hand, has an extremely useful customizeable switch that currently lets you use the focus ring to adjust the aperture at the click of a switch as well as configuring other functions. Tokina 85 also doesn't have any sort of tactile switches or buttons.
Speaking of firmwre updates, the Samyang can be updated via a dock whereas the Tokina doesn't yet have this option. It's also worth bearing in mind that Samyang's 75mm lens just came out, so it's entirely possible that the autofocus will get faster with a future firmware update. When it comes to autofocus, the Tokina does have an edge, but accuracy wise, both lenses are head to head. The Tokina will give you smoother bokeh and better sharpness near the edges of the frame, but it's heavier and a bit more expensive. Way to go Samyang, you've knocked yet another one out of the park!įor size comparison, top left to bottom right: Rokinon 14mm f/2.2 XP, Rokinon 85mm f/1.2 XP, Rokinon AF 85mm f/1.8 FE, Rokinon AF 45mm f/1.8 FE, Rokinon AF 75mm f/1.8 FE Given that it's completely unique in its 75mm focal length and new customizable switch, we're giving it our coveted kudos award. At its current price point of $399, owning this lens is a no brainer, and we can't recommend it enough. This lens also comes with a customizable switch that lets you toggle between using the focus ring for its traditional purpose (ehem, focusing) or to silently control the aperture. In fact, it's not too far from its big brother, the AF 85mm f/1.4 in terms of image quality. Don't let the size of this lens fool you either - the center sharpness, bokeh, and contrast are all way beyond what you'd expect out of a lens this small. We have no doubt that those looking for big results in an incredibly small package will be thrilled with what it can offer.

The new Samyang / Rokinon 75mm f/1.8 is in a class of its own in terms of size and focal length for full frame Sony e-mount.
