Good comparison and presentation .. this is the FL prime that is beckoning me for my old 5D IV set up. I have good Canon and Zeiss wide angle prime lenses and this one I should get. Canon it will be for the colours, just looks more right. Cheers, nice one.
Thanks for the awesome video, as a R5C owner I wonder if the Samyang 85mm lens would suffer from video specific functions grayed out in the settings manual? I have an older sigma lens that has this issue, can't adjust focus speed etc... Would be great to know before I pull the trigger on this one :)
Hi, the general benefit to the 1.4 is that you can take photos in darker situations as well as the great look for portraits of the really blurry background. The sweet spot for the 1.4 would be using it at 1.8 or 2. Generally with lenses 1 or 2 stops up from wide open is the sharper spot. Hope that helps. Best of luck on your journey!
Thanks so much for putting this together; it was super helpful 😊
Great to hear it helped 😃
Great video!! I’ve been deciding if I buy the Samyang and with your video you’ve taken my doubts!!
Thank you!!
Great to hear! Thanks heaps for watching 😊
Did you buy the samyang ?
I had originally purchased the Samyang, used it for a while then decided to buy the canon version. I then sold the Samyang.
@@videographerstuff539 thanks for your reply, but i was asking duartesalgueiro1492 because he said 3 weeks ago that he was deciding....😅

Thanks! Yeah she is a beauty, and paired with the mark 4 you’d be a very happy human!

Hey there! I wish I could check for you but I sold it a little while back. I can’t remember if anything was greyed out in the menus. Sorry about that!
I've had that Samyang for years. Takes beautiful portraits.
Yeah, it’s a great lens for sure!
Sir I'm going to begin my career in photography and I'm from India and think to purchase new camera as canon rp with samyang 85mm 1.8 or 1.4

What body did you use? And is the lens EF or RF?
Both lenses are the EF version and I used the canon adapter to use on the canon r5c.
I have the RF 85 and love it
Oh nice! Had you tried the ef version prior? Don’t know if the rf is any better/faster at auto focus? Love to know :)
@@videographerstuff539 I never got the chance to try the EF. But the RF version autofocus works extremely well.
I can imagine it’s really good! Cheers
Thanks :)
You’re welcome!
Se ti avvicini troppo è normale che non mette a fuoco!!!
Minimum focus distance is ok. Great focal length
