The high resolution optics of the Rokinon SP 85mm F1.2 prime lens have been specifically designed to meet the extreme capabilities of Canon’s professional cameras. This superior full frame portrait-length lens provides a 28.52° field of view for Canon Full Frame DSLRs or an18.98° field of view with a 136mm equivalent focal length on Canon APS-C models.
A pair of high refractive index elements along with one aspherical element is used to reduce distortions and spherical aberrations to deliver a high degree of clarity and sharpness. Rokinon Ultra Multi-Coating and the removable lens hood are employed to suppress ghosting and flare and provide increased contrast and color fidelity.
The Rokinon SP 85mm F1.2 also sports an exceptionally fast f/1.2 maximum aperture to provide enhanced low light capability, faster shutter speeds and super shallow depth field for selective focus effects. Additionally the smooth, quiet and precise manual focus control provides close focusing as close as 31", and the sleek aluminum alloy housing is both lightweight and durable to benefit handling as well as improved durability.
- Provides exceedingly high quality stills and video with both Canon Full Frame and APS-C (crop sensor) cameras
- Its large F1.2 aperture provides enhanced low light capability, faster shutter speeds and super shallow depth field control.
- Two High Refractive Index lens elements plus a precision aspherical lens element combine to minimize aberrations and increase sharpness.
- Its all metal construction with an ergonomically designed shape and grip deliver a luxurious look, excellent durability and comfortable use.
- For easy use with polarizing and other filters where positioning must be maintained, the filter mount is designed not to rotate when the lens is focused.

Very sharp. Easy to focus precisely due to a long throw. Works great with manual focus assist, like on.a Canon R5. The bokeh is to die for — gorgeous. Just be ready for the extra weight. It’s a heavy lens. If you want to shoot at f/1.2 in bright sunlight, you’ll need an ND filter.

Everyone else has said pretty much everything you need to know about this lens - it's heavy, totally manual, nicely built, takes great photos, yada yada... I agree with all of this. I got it for video, but took it out to photograph a hummingbird that visits to feed then flies off quickly (ingrate). Got some decent images - the quality is really nice, but these birds are easily the most difficult critters I've attempted to photograph. So maybe not the best early test, but I wanted some photos anyway. The shutter speed on these was at 1/3000 of a second! Aperture was set to F1.2 I think & I bumped ISO up to get that shutter speed w/o blowing things completely out. Hope to shoot some video soon. Recommended!

I've owned this lens for a few months now, and I shoot it adapted on my Panasonic Lumix S1 w/ Sigma MC-21.I've encountered a few issues with it, but it's to be expected when adapting a lens that isn't officially listed on Sigma's supported lens. They include, but are not limited to: f1.2 rounds up to 1.3, aperture closes when shooting video (even though on screen it says it doesn't), etc. There are workarounds to these issues, but despite all the faults, it produces wonder photos. Sharpness and contrast is great even wide open, and the bokeh is unbelievably buttery.This lens is not for everyone since it's a manual focus only, but for those who enjoy shooting manual focus, don't hesitate!

This lens really is a amazing. I was saving up originally to buy the 85mm L series, but with some research i found this little gem. There are only a few video reviews online but it was enough for me to give this lens a chance and it really did blow my mind. Sharp, buttery bokeh, smooth manual focusing, it all added up to be an amazing piece of glass.

This is one of the sharpest lens you can get. It is manual focus but if you use EOS R, it is so easy to focus with manual focus assistance +Focus peaking. Eye detection works with this lens as well. Dont be scared because it is manual focus. Also, this lens has very similar optics as Zeiss Milvus or Otus. It is that good. Highly recommened.
