Actinon 35mm f/3.5 Auto Wide

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

Get this lens Crazy sharp lens for $. For realz. Amazing value

Old school photography with superb quality New camera, old ideas, using a fixed focal length lens and your own two feet to take pictures, instead of a wide-medium telephoto. Certainly there are a few places this doesn't work, like in very close quarters where a wide angle would be better (the 35mm on a 24mm sensor is like a 50mm on a 35mm film camera). But then that zoom is always in the bag right? The quality is certainly better than with a [bundled] 28-55mm zoom, the autofocus is much faster and more accurate, and quieter. The macro capability vastly better. The aperature wider and brighter. The lens smaller and lighter (although not as small or light as you might expect). Switching from an economy 55-200mm to a full frame Nikon 70-300mm zoom it was hard to go back to the cheap bundled lenses that offered relatively poor performance. The 35mm offers the same high quality you would expect from Nikon. But if you are a sit back and zoom sort of person this lens won't work for you!Read full review
