AF 50mm F1.4 FE overview
The Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 FE is a 50mm f/1.4 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, announced by Samyang in May 2016. 39 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust.
New, it sells for A$949 in Australia (Camera Electronic).
Worth comparing it with the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, Sony FE 50mm F1.4 GM and Sony Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA.

The ≈ figures are approximate, at today's exchange rate (ECB reference rates, 2026-11-06), rounded, and leave out shipping, import duty, GST/VAT and card fees.
