Samyang AF 45mm F1.8 FE Compact Lens for Sony E-Mount

The Samyang AF 45mm f/1.8 FE (also known as the Rokinon AF 45mm f/1.8 in the USA) is a standard prime lens for full-frame Sony Alpha cameras. It can also be used with Sony's APS-C models where it provides an equivalent focal length of 67.5mm.

The compact, lightweight Samyang AF 45mm f/1.8 FE is comprised of 7 elements in 6 groups, including two aspherical elements and one extra-low dispersion element. It features a rounded 9-blade diaphragm which creates an attractive blur to out-of-focus areas of the image. It's also the latest Samyang lens to feature auto-focusing, incorporating a linear Stepping Motor (STM) for fast, quiet, and accurate AF.

There's an Ultra Multi-layer Coating to help reduce flare and ghosting and it has a minimum focusing distance of 0.45m (1.48ft) and a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.12x. With less distortion than 35mm lenses and a wider angle than 50mm, the AF 45mm F1.8 FE opens up a range of photographic styles and themes.

45mm is the new gold standard when it comes to the field of view, providing the 53-degree angle that most naturally fits the human field of vision

Delivering closer, clearer pictures even at a close focus distance of 45cm

With 9 aperture blades, this lens offers consistent, beautiful bokeh and clearly defined sun stars when the aperture is stopped-down. Whether it’s day or night, those sun stars will add extra panache to any photo
