Very good image quality for the price but with a catch

Samyang (or Rokinon) has the autofocus and manual version of the 85mm for RF. Note: This is a MANUAL focus version of the lens which explains the massive difference in price. RF options for 85mm lens are rather limited. Except for the canon native lens, there is literally only 2 other 85mm lens that are available. As of time of this review, you could not find RF lens on Samyang website anymore as they are no longer supported by Canon (or something else happened but you get the point). If you are open to EF version and adapting it to a RF, then there are more options available. The image coming out of this camera is great! Colours looks good and very sharp for me. Not much of a vignetting and distortion I can tell, and I could literally use the photo as it is without lens correction. I pair this with my EOS RP and it works without any issue. Challenge is of course nailing the manual focus, which is made easier using the focus peaking feature. I am using it as hobby so I am totally good with it. Overall, I love this lens!

No Electronic features. Fully manual lens

Amazing deal and great quality lens for the price point! This is perfect for hobbiests!
