Samyang 85mm T1.5 VDSLR II Pentax

Samyang 85mm T1.5 VDSLR II for Pentax K

This 85mm cine lens is designed for filmmakers and photographers who want smooth handling, reliable performance, and beautiful image quality. With a stepless aperture range from T1.5 to T22 and fluid manual focusing, it’s built to make precise focus pulls easy during video work.

The geared focus and aperture rings are ready for follow-focus accessories, helping you work faster and more efficiently on set. Clear distance and aperture markings on the side make settings quick to read, even in a busy shooting environment.

Ideal for portraits, reportage, and video

The 85mm focal length is a classic choice for portrait work, offering flattering perspective and plenty of creative flexibility. It also performs well for documentary-style and reportage shooting, where a natural look and strong subject separation are important.

A bright T1.5 maximum aperture gives you excellent low-light capability and attractive background blur, making this lens a strong option for cinematic images and still photography alike.

Built for dependable image quality

The sturdy metal housing gives the lens a solid, premium feel, while the coated glass elements help deliver crisp detail, rich contrast, and balanced color. The included lens hood helps reduce stray light and flare from the side, supporting clean results in challenging lighting conditions.

As a full-frame lens, it can also be used on APS-C cameras, where only the central area of the image circle is captured. This helps reduce the impact of edge softness, distortion, and vignetting in everyday use.
