Rediscover the classic portrait focal length. In the past, 75 mm was considered the ideal portrait focal length, not the commonly used 85 mm today. The advantage: photographers have more flexibility in composition, as the field of view of 32.9° on full-frame and 21.9° on APS-C allows for more space. Additionally, photographers can get closer to the model during a shoot, which is particularly beneficial for creating an atmosphere of intimacy between the photographer and the model, fostering a sense of ease. In short: the 75 mm focal length produces unique images that stand out significantly from typical portraits.
"Tiny but Absolute" - small and absolutely top-notch! Samyang expands its "Tiny" series of compact, lightweight lenses for Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras with the exotic 75 mm portrait focal length. Now, focal lengths of 18 mm, 24 mm, 35 mm, 45 mm, and 75 mm are available. The lens is particularly compact, measuring only 69 mm in length and 65 mm in maximum diameter, and weighs just 230 grams. The filter thread has a diameter of 58 mm, and the lens hood is detachable. For the highest imaging quality, it features 10 elements in 9 groups, including 2 high-refractive glass lenses (HR) and 3 lenses made of extra-low dispersion glass (ED). All glass elements are multi-coated with Samyang's proprietary Ultra Multi Coating (UMC). This coating prevents reflections and chromatic aberrations while ensuring accurate color reproduction. Thanks to the 9 diaphragm blades, highlights in the bokeh appear as beautiful round circles. Combined with the extremely high glass quality of the lenses, this results in a fantastic lens that delivers images that are crystal clear from the center to the extreme corners and are absolutely sharp, even at wide open apertures.
