    SAMYANG Announces Mk2 Versions of Legendary Manual Focus Lenses for full frame DSLRs: NEW MF 14mm F2.8 Mk2 and MF 85mm F1.4 Mk2

    May 25th 2020, Seoul, South Korea - Samyang Optics Co., Ltd., a leading global optics manufacturer, announces the long-awaited renewal of two classic and respected manual focus lenses for full Frame DSLRs: The new MF 14mm F2.8 Mk2 and MF 85mm F1.4 Mk2 lenses will be available in 6 different mounts as follows: Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon M and MFT.

    The new Samyang MF 85mm F1.4 Mk2 represents the evolution of a highly cherished lens design, loved by photographers for its beautiful bokeh. The new MF 85mm F1.4 Mk2 is ideal for capturing highest quality portraiture and still images with its vivid colour rendition and smooth out-focus bokeh quality.

    What’s New? - Main Features

    De-click Aperture Option

    The MF 85mm F1.4 Mk2 features a de-clicked aperture option which allows infinitely fine adjustment between F-stops. By rotating the silver ring from 'Click' to 'Free', you can adjust the aperture smoothly and precisely, to ensure exactly the right amount of light is captured.

    9 Aperture Blades

    The 9-rounded aperture blades help to achieve excellent bokeh performance, with smooth and creamy out of focus backgrounds. The 9 aperture blades also provide clearly defined 'sunstars' when the aperture is stopped-down.

    9 Elements in 7 Groups (1 Hybrid ASP) with UMC

    The new MF 85mm F1.4 Mk2 features a total of 9 elements in 7 groups. Samyang's optical design uses a Hybrid Aspherical lens element, to minimise spherical aberration and distortion, for pin-sharp image quality.

    Usability / Weather Sealing

    Environmental seals are located around the lens mount area to prevent infiltration of moisture and/or rain drops. This feature provides an additional layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions.

    Any difference in the MTF?
    I suppose it is really a Mark III.....

    @DrDave

    You can look for original MTF.

    First version of Samyang 85mm is amazing lens as had been specially designed for portraits and not at tack sharp lens.

    I think Samsung 85mm, some Zeiss glass and latest branded FF lenses are among best of all 85mm lenses.
