Weighing only 164 grams, the Samyang AF 45mm f/1.8 FE is the perfect choice for a Sony photographer who needs light and compact photography equipment and doesn't want to compromise on functions or image quality.
The fixed 45mm focal length of the lens suitable for cinema-sized cameras (24x36mm) makes it an excellent general-purpose lens for documentary and travel photography and for photographing children, animals and other moving objects nearby. The Samyang AF 45mm f/1.8 FE is also suitable for Sony's A6xxx series cameras equipped with APS-C size cells, where the 45mm focal length becomes a short telephoto lens, which is excellent for portrait photography.
A lens for undisturbed shooting The Samyang AF 45mm f/1.8 FE has an accurate and fast, but also silent autofocus motor. Thanks to that and the large aperture, the lens is perfectly suited for situations where the photographer cannot be seen or heard too much, such as wedding and other event photography, where flash lights and camera sounds could disturb the participants.
The round aperture with nine flanges produces a soft and beautiful bokeh effect, which is perfect for portrait photography. Thanks to its short 45cm close focusing distance, it also allows selected details to be highlighted and brings freedom to image composition.
Warm and bright images Despite its compact and light construction, the Samyang AF 45mm f/1.8 FE produces impressive results. The advanced optical structure consists of seven elements, divided into six groups, and two aspherical elements and a lens made of ED glass reduce optical distortions and ensure high sharpness even at high aperture settings.
As with other Samyang AF lenses, the 45mm f/1.8 adds warm tones to images that many users appreciate. The advanced UMC multi-layer coating (Ultra Multi Coating) ensures high contrast and brightness even in the most difficult lighting conditions.
