Lenses / Samyang 85 1.4 vs canon ef 85 1.8 - which one to choose?
« on: May 17, 2012, 03:24:33 PM »
Hello!
I hope someone here could help me with my problem, you see i want a fast 85mm prime to use with my 5D mark II, and am on a budget. I have narrowed it down to the lenses mentioned in the title, and i guess my question ultimately is, is one better than the other optically? And if the samyang one is, is it so much better (especially wide-open) that it is worth not having af? I would come by without af, but it would be nice to have it for some occasions.
I appreciate your help!
Ps. just to clarify, "better optically" to me means quality in color and contrast reproduction and smooth bokeh.
