중고 Rokinon 85mm f1.4 Canon EF용 렌즈

Shot this at a birthday party in near-darkness and the f/1.4 pulled in more light than I expected from a used lens. The bokeh on the birthday candles is buttery smooth, and focus ring turns with just the right amount of resistance. For the price, it’s a steal if you don’t mind going manual.

I was a little nervous buying used, but the aperture ring feels smooth and precise. The manual focus took a few tries to get right, but the bokeh from this f/1.4 lens is exactly the creamy look I wanted for portraits.

Wide open at f/1.4, this used lens gives that dreamy background blur I was hoping for, even on cloudy days. It’s definitely solidly built and feels like it’ll last.
