The 85mm focal length is classic for portraits on full-frame (flattering perspective, natural subject isolation), and f\/1.4 gives shallow depth of field. Manual focus requires a deliberate shooting style - best suited to portraits, product and deliberate work rather than fast-moving subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes it autofocus?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a manual-focus lens. Focus confirmation via the Canon body's focus-confirm dots may work on chipped variants but there's no AF motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs this a good portrait lens?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes - 85mm on full-frame is a classic portrait focal length. The f\/1.4 aperture delivers very shallow depth-of-field and strong subject-background separation. Manual-focus-only means it's best for deliberate, non-action portrait work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes this lens have image stabilisation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — this lens does not have image stabilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill it work on Canon RF mirrorless bodies?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, via the Canon EF-EOS R adapter. Autofocus and IS are preserved, and the lens functions normally on R, R5, R6, R7, R8, R50 and other RF bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samyang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56880591077751,"sku":"7H0324","price":149.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1521\/5650\/files\/images-coming-soon_a04fc4e4-d9ba-42b6-8fa8-4e0631ac7f3a.jpg?v=1773661559","url":"https:\/\/bassandbligh.com\/products\/used-samyang-85mm-f14-as-if-umc-canon-ef-fit","provider":"Bass \u0026 Bligh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
