Amazon is running a sale on Rokinon/Samyang Lenses for Sony Full Frame E-Mount Cameras. These can also be used on Sony APS-C cameras as well.

Available lenses:The three F1.4 lenses are fast primes and are good for strong bokeh/subject separation. I have the 35/50/85mm, and I'd definitely pick the 85mm out of all of them if I had to choose one (and its the cheapest right now!). I paid like $500+ for mine, so $350 is a steal.

The 35mm has a real close focus distance which can make for some interesting shots.

The 50mm is an older design so the focusing is a little on the slow slide, but still the best value fast 50 lens.

Samyang 85 is for $377 with code BF20 on its site https://samyangus.com/products/85...PnEALw_wcB
Wow, those are some great prices on a few of the lenses. I don't need any right now, but if you want a portrait lens, the 85 1.4 punches way above a $350 price tag.

Got the 85/1.4 a year ago and love it... AF isn't as good as with Sony GM etc lenses, but then again, they don't go for $360 either.

Tempted by the 135, judging from the reviews it's an awesome lens. But I know I wouldn't use it often enough... Confused

I also have the 85/1.4 and it's awesome.

Tempted by the 24/1.8, but not sure I'd use it enough with my Tamron 17-28/2.8...

It really depends on what kind of photography you're interested in.. Get the 85mm for portraiture.

35 & 50mm - street photography
85mm - portrait photography

but A6000 is APSC, so need to apply 1.5x for it. so 85mm (127.5mm) is too far for portrait.

Yep, I have used 50mm for a longlong time but barely used 50mm after I got 85mm.

135mm AF has great reviews... About 1/3 of the price of the GM (which I have and love). It's well worth it, I think.

I have an a6000 and I'm trying to get into photography. Could you explain what this means or educate me a bit, please? 🙏🏼 if you don't mind 🙃
