Thank you for purchasing this Samyang Optics product.
The Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 FE lens is a high performance single vision
lens designed exclusively for the E-mount of SONY
α
interchangeable-
lens cameras. (This lens cannot be used with an A-mount camera.)
※
FE refers to the full frame E-mount.
The lens is designed exclusively for mirror-less cameras, where the
distance between the DSLR contrast lens and the image sensor is
close, and affords the user excellent performance and results.
This lens allows the user to shoot optimal quality picture and video in
response with the 35mm Full Frame image sensor.
This large-caliber lens gathers as much light as possible and provides
the best image quality among equivalent models.
It minimizes various aberrations, and creates a clear image by using
three high precision aspherical lenses.
The fast and accurate AF (autofocus) function ensures excellent optical
performance.
Its size, comfortable for holding and shooting, provides a firm grip
feeling, enhancing the stability for shooting.
Its simple but refined design as well as metallic material ensures a
luxurious look and excellent durability.
This product is designed in the form of an inner focus lens, meaning the
lens does not come out or rotate according to the focal distance, and is
therefore free from dust and convenient for using a polarizing filter.
Please read this instruction manual and familiarize yourself with the
functions of the lens, the operating method, and cautions for handling
the product correctly prior to use. Also, refer to the instruction manual of
the camera you are using with the lens.
The supported functions of this product may vary according to the
camera model.

In order to maintain the user's safety and prevent damage to the product,
fully familiarize yourself with the following items in order to use the product
correctly.
It is dangerous to look at the sun through the lens directly. It may
seriously impair your vision.
Be careful not to apply an impact when attaching the lens. The lens is a
precision optical product, so dropping or applying an excessive impact
to the lens may cause product failure.
In order to use the lens safely, attach or detach the lens while the
camera is turned off.
Be careful not to touch or contaminate the contact point of the mount. If
an electronic signal is not transmitted between the camera and the lens
smoothly, a malfunction may occur.
Do not wet the lens or touch the lens with a wet hand when using the
lens near water. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
It is recommended to use a strong tripod. If a weak tripod is used, the
tripod may fall down, damaging the camera and the lens.
Do not store the lens without the lens cap in a location with direct
sunlight, such as inside a vehicle. Direct sunlight passing through the
lens may be concentrated, causing a fire.
If the lens is placed in a hot location, damage or distortion may occur,
and a problem in its performance may result.
Store the lens in a dry and well-ventilated location. Avoid direct sunlight
and do not store the lens with naphthalene or moth balls.
Avoid using the lens in a location with drastic temperature changes. In
particular, if you move a lens that has been chilled in a cold location to a
warm location, moisture in the air may be concentrated outside or inside
the lens, causing a failure or mold production. In such a case, keep the
lens in a plastic bag or an exclusive camera bag and take it out when
the temperature of the lens becomes similar to the peripheral
temperature.
Keep the lens out of the reach of children. Failure to do so may cause
an accident or personal injury.
If the lens surface gets dirty, dust it off using a lens blower or a brush
and wipe it with a soft and clean cloth (cleaning tissue, cotton cloth,
etc.).
When dusting or cleaning the lens, do not use an organic solvent such
as thinner, alcohol, or benzene.
When cleaning the lens, put a small amount of ethanol or lens cleaner
on a soft and clean cloth or a cleaning paper and wipe the lens by
circling outwards from its center.
