Rediscover the classic portrait focal length
In the past, 75 mm was considered the ideal portrait focal length, not the 85 mm that is common today. The advantage: the photographer has more leeway in image composition because the angle of view of 32.9° on
full format, 21.9° on APS-C leaves more room. The photographer can also get closer to the model during the shoot, which is especially beneficial for the atmosphere of intimacy between photographer and model in elaborate studio productions and creates serenity. In short, the 75mm focal length creates unique images that stand out from the usual portraits.
"Tiny but Absolute!"
Samyang extends the "Tiny" line of compact, lightweight lenses for the mirrorless Sony Alpha cameras to include the exotic portrait focal length of 75mm. Now the
18 mm, 24 mm, 35 mm, 45 mm and 75 mm focal lengths available. The lens is particularly compact, measuring just 69 mm in length and 65 mm in largest diameter, and with a weight of just 230 grams it is a
lightweight. The filter thread has a diameter of 58 mm, and the lens hood is removable.
The highest imaging quality is provided by 10 elements in 9 groups, including 2 high refractive index (HR) glass lenses and 3 ultra-low dispersion (ED) glass lenses. All glass elements are multi-coated with Samyang's proprietary Ultra Multi Coating (UMC). The coating prevents reflections and chromatic aberrations and also ensures an exactly color-true image. Due to the 9 blades of the aperture, highlights in the bokeh appear as beautiful round circles. Combined with the extremely high glass quality of the lenses, the result is a fantastic lens that delivers images that are crystal clear in resolution and absolutely sharp from the center to the far corners, even with the aperture open.
Novelty Custom Switch
New to this lens is the Custom Switch, where you would actually expect the AF/MF switch to be. It can be switched between Mode 1 and Mode 2. The special feature here is that the two switch positions
can be assigned by the user. This is done when the lens is connected to the computer via a Lens Station and the Lens Manager software. Currently, both switch positions can be freely assigned with the modes "manual focus", "manual iris" and "auto focus". Additional modes can be added via a firmware update, which is also installed via the Lens Station and the Lens Manager.
modes can be added as soon as Samyang brings them to market. The Lens Station is generally used to play firmware updates to lenses. You can use it to customize the lens to your individual needs.
Super fast autofocus, whisper quiet
Thanks to a linear stepper motor, autofocus is quiet, fast and accurate. Between 0.12 and 0.20 seconds is all it takes to focus between the outermost positions in the lens, depending on the focus preference
depending on the selected focus preference and direction of movement, making it the perfect companion for use with moving subjects. At just 23.03 dB of noise, the AF 75mm F1.8's focus is as quiet as a whisper. This also makes the lens ideal for filming with autofocus.
