The AF 75mm f/1.8 FE is engineered for high-resolution performance, featuring 10 elements in 9 groups. To ensure edge-to-edge clarity, it utilizes five specialized elements: three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements to minimize chromatic aberration and two High Refractive (HR) elements to keep the lens compact while maintaining high contrast. Samyang’s Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) is applied to reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring clean results even when shooting into the sun or under bright studio lights. A key feature of this lens is the Custom Switch, which allows the user to toggle the focus ring between controlling the focus (Mode 1) and controlling the aperture (Mode 2), with more functions available via firmware updates. The autofocus is driven by a quiet and fast Linear STM (Stepping Motor), making it fully compatible with Sony’s advanced Eye-AF and real-time tracking. Despite its lightweight build, the lens features a 9-blade circular diaphragm that produces smooth, creamy bokeh, making it an exceptional choice for environmental portraits and wedding photography.
