Samyang 85mm T1.5 POV Woodland Photography Video
I took the Samyang 85mm T1.5 Cine lens out for some POV woodland photography on a Sony A7iii.
I was in the woods recceing a new spot for my Coffee in the Woods Series, and thought I’d take the 85mm T1.5 along for shits and giggles. It’s the Sony FE mount, so I stuck it on one of my old A7iii’s and decided that I’d only shoot wide open at T1.4, the optical equivalent of f1.4, apparently.
For clarity, it’s this one….. Samyang 85mm T1.5 Cine Lens Sony FE mount
Currently on Amazon for just £297 (November 8th 2023), an absolute bargain for this bokeh monster!
It’s a great lens, I use it a lot for video, it’s honestly one of my favorites, but I don’t attempt much photography with it, so this was nice to do.
As far as woodland photography goes I’m pretty useless, and I didn’t put too much effort into it, just fired off a few from the hip, like Rambo.
It was fun, and I liked a few of the shots, I’ll leave a couple below… hopefully, it helps someone out who may be on the fence about buying it.
Cheers
