    Great light and affordable lens5.0/5

    Great light and affordable lens 35mm is a perfect focal length. Most Sony 35mm lenses (including third party) are really expensive. They’re usually over $1000. This Samyang 35mm is much much lighter and cheaper than any other alternative. Of course, the image quality isn’t top notch but it’s still fantastic for every day use and for social media posts. Definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to travel light and doesn’t want to spend >$1000 for a lens

    Amazing lens. 5.0/5

    Amazing lens. I love the fixed lenses for video, and this does not disappoint. Images so sharp with the right lighting, though it performs remarkably well in low light as well as bright situations. It has auto focus, but you're better off manual with such a huge focus ring 😀 I can't stress enough the less glass between the sensor and the source, the better the result (in my experience anyway), and between this 35mm 1.8 and my 50mm 1.4 I've been able to produce some fantastic images. I do have a 24-80mm I use quite a bit that does really well for just about anything, great lens, but this fixed 35mm will produce a better image than my other lens set at 35mm. It's all about what you will use them for, some people will have a use, some won't. If you do, don't hesitate, it's a great lens to add to the arsenal.Read full review
