The Samyang 85mm is a CINEMATIC beast!

The Rokinon 85mm T1.5 also known as the Samyang 85mm T1.5, is my wedding 'cheat lens' because it is so easy to achieve cinematic footage. I've been filming weddings with it since 2020 and it has skyrocketed my production value.

I just found this lens in local store, used one, sold more than half the original price. That's why I'm here.

[@unsuitableakv2701]

My uni gave me this for some videos, I also shot some photos on it and holy this thing is amzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing

[@anilanoor4995]

I just bought this lense ❤️

[@starta]

Might have to scoop this lens up. Where’s the best place to grab it??

[@RaphealPersaud]

Amazon link in the description!

Do you think it would look as good on an APSC Camera?; being that the equivalent would be about 130mm. By the 1.5 Rule would a 55mm look about the same? Just throwing thoughts out there. Or maybe is it just that this lens has that sweet spot not entirely due to the Focal length.

[@RaphealPersaud]

If you used a 50mm on a apsc body, you'd basically get the compression of a 50mm zoomed in. The 'look' that we want comes from the focal length itself.

How are you adjusting the focus for moving subjects? Using a focus puller?

[@RaphealPersaud]

I just use my hands. I definitely miss focus sometimes on moving subjects but it does add to the 'feel' of the footage.

[@Jeff-zc6rr]

I've had this lens for about 6 years but hardly ever use it. I was using a GH5 with the nocticron. Almost sold it for about $190 several years ago. But i still don't really like the lens.

[@ronwilli684]

Id take it from you for that amount if you still selling

[@RaphealPersaud]

To be honest, my style has evolved in the past 2 years and I've moved away from this lens as my go to. Not because it's bad but because it didn't support the style I was going for. I still use it for interview work though.
