Samyang 12mm f2 & Sony A6500 | 120fps 

Lars Nielsen Yeah for sure!! 🤙🏼

Cant belive i havent heard of this clear image zoom thing before! Just tested it out and I'm definitely getting the 12mm just because of this function! Thank you!!!

You’re so welcome Paul! Thanks for watching!

Anthony Gosling Thank you Anthony, awwwh man! To be fair I don’t use it much now but will deffo get it out again and shoot some stuff! Enjoy the 12mm again! Haha

Adi Concepcion Thank you and wicked it’s a great lens to play with for sure!

Hey mate! I love this lens. There’s no autofocus though! So up to you on how you want to run it. 12mm is a great wide angle though!

Hi! Thank you so much and no! I didn’t use any NF filter!

Frazer Varney Thank you Fraser. Yeah it’s great!

AndreiC. Eyyyy thank you!

A beautiful part of the world and something we’ll never forget ❤️

If you were to get the 14mm full frame and put it on the A6500 you wouldn’t get t A true 14mm view. The 12mm is a crop lens so you’d get 12mm!

A7M3DGAM3R Hey! Thanks so much. And that’s epic you’re about to have a lot of fun!

I've got the a6500 and this lens. Any tips on picture set ups for cinematic images/videos?

Eben Pajanconi Thank you Eben. And great It’s awesome. So I had mine between f5.6 and f16 depending on light. On the higher side when shooting 120fps due to loss of sharpness! I chose those as I didn’t have any ND filters for it.

Lasse Meinke Hi mate! So the video was edited in a 25fps timeline. I simply slowed down the footage by 25%. All of my 25fps footage (normal speed) was shot in 4k. Unsure on the problem you’re having with playback. Make sure it’s all fully rendered before playing back?

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker yea sorry for my Description. Maybe its easier when i describe it like that: when I record one clip in 120fps and the final Version of this clip should be 24fps, I create a sequence with 24fps. Now the Problem so its only one clip but in this clip i want to switch between slowmo ( 20% at 120fps) and normal speed. For example theres a guy in the clip and im moving toward him with my cam and I want to edit it like the first few seconds its normal speed and then turns into slowmo. My normal speed footage looks choppy then because its a 24fps timeline and 120fps footage. But I see in a lot of videos the drescribed scenery with smooth normal Speed and slowmo. Cheers for your answer Mate!

Thanks! So it was shot in 4k 25fps and 1080 120fps and edited in a 4k project!

@@FilmTyler okay I figured that might have been the case. Thanks!

@@abrouzo No worries!

Thank you so much Andrea!

Hi thanks for watching! So is shot this in 25fps in 4k and 1080p 120fps 🤟 then edited in a 4k project!

Cindy Tong hey! No gimbal used at all and yes most likely!

@@FilmTyler wow u got really steady hand...any tips to avoid shake when taking those walking scene?im heading to iceland and I wan to spend on gimbal as im still starting out...

Cindy Tong haha yeah I suppose I do! The wider the lens the smoother you can get it though. Neck straps always work well!

Hey mate thank you! It wouldn’t be too bad I don’t think as it’s so wide. Wouldn’t really be as noticeable I don’t think. I guess if you’re running and vlogging you would have bad shake! It’s also such a small lens a small handheld fumble would be easy to you in a vlog set up 🤟

@@FilmTyler Thanks for that mate, I agree with it. I am looking at the Sony 16mm f2.8, you lose some sharpness but considering that I would be using it only for vlogging and not for filming, in terms of price and portability is very convenient. Have you ever used it?

Sony 6500 and 6600 both have inbody image stabilization. For other apsc-s you can use in-camera active stabilization (heavy image crop) or catalyst browse in post (low image crop and time consuming since you also gave to deal with FCP, PremierePro or Da Vinci. But, cropped 12mm shouldn't be claustrophobic as opposed to crops of standard 16mm or 18mm lenses. Otherwise, there's the Sony 11mm f1.8 with great autofocus on the one hand and abysmal distortion on the other.

theMackz So due to having no ND filter is just had the lens at f9-11 and then focus to infinity when the subject was far and dialled it back when things were closer. It’s a bit of a guess sometimes though. I had a clip or two that were slightly out of focus that I didn’t use!

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker thanks!

theMackz You’re welcome!

rj hubilla I know! Isn’t it just!

Epic man! Great little lens!

Isaac Snowhite For sure! Ya would be a little tricky with it being manual focus but if you have the f stop fairly high you should be able to keep it on infinity and get the shots you want unless you want to shoot closer to the subject!

@@FilmTyler thanks for the answer. the infinity focus point is exactly right on the mark of the lens right ?, or you have to find it by yourself ?

So it’s a great wide angle you just don’t have autofocus so may struggle a little. Plus for inside you’d have to have it wide open and may present more issues with focus unless you have a monitor!

Hi! That’s epic. I hope you love the lens! As for sharpness I don’t have any in camera. And I didn’t add any in post. All natural!

CJ Explores haha weeeheeey! Go for it. You won’t regret that wide angle juiciness. Looking forward to seeing it in action on your channel.

Thank you so much!

The 120fps slow mo was shot in 1080p and the 25fps stuff was shot in 4k!

Katrell Carlton Hey man! So I didn’t use an ND filter. Is just cranked up the F-stop to around f9/11

Hi Jose! How are you? So this lens is designed for APS-C cameras. So it’ll be the full 12mm wide angle you pay for when using with the Sony A6500 🤟

@@FilmTyler I'm doing great. Wanting to move into manuel lenses with my sony a6500. Perfect. I appreciate the fast response man , thank you so much. I'm definitely purchasing the lens !

@@TheGuyJose Good! And no worries at all I hope you enjoy the lens!

Hi!! Sorry this comment was ok my review part for some reason! To answer your question I just focus and then maintain my distance. Or if I want to keep focus I literally just focus in as I move closer! Didn’t always work though but you just try the shot again!

John Kevin haha this is the best! Thank you John you legend.

Hello! Only reason id do that is to maintain my focus. As you can’t always keep the same distance from your subject! Plus I like to keep my hand on it just incase!

@@FilmTyler thank you so much for your reply the whole video is piece of art but would you please try to make another one as cinematic indoor video 😅

@@adhamamin7248 no worries at all and yes! I’ll make one just for you haha

@@FilmTyler thank you so much bro this part called taxes of being talented 😅♥️

Big thumbs up from me waheyyyyyy

Jade Lavinia Rumens Had the best main star of the film by a long long mile haha

Mohamed Bellator You’re welcome! And yes for most of this film I was. Unless filming close ups!

@@FilmTyler Thnx 4 the quick answer 😉

Thank you!

Giridhar Sharma Hi! Thank you. I use Final Cut Pro x to apply my base grade. This footage is slog2 so I used log LUTS from Lutify.me. The link to their site is in my description! Thanks

@@FilmTyler that's great . my a6000 doesn't have slog :'(. Thanks again.

👊

It’s a manual focus lens so yes mate!

@@FilmTyler ok Isn't it difficult to always keep everything in focus when recording videos?

@@gtraveltech it can be without practise but I shoot pretty much everything on my channel in manual focus and always have done. I like to be in control!

Kevin Edgar Thanks Kevin. Have a great Christmas and New year!

Thank you!

Denzel C The focusing was fine for me! If I kept a reasonably high f10+ I could focus on most things when zoomed to infinity. If I was shooting closer then I’d dial it back a bit but nothing super hard!

Tony Ris Yeah! Haha thanks dude!

Thank you!

So you can only shoot 120fps in 1080p. You could upscale but you wouldn't get true 4k viewing because what you've shot isn't 4k! I believe you'll lose a bit of quality as technically you're stretching the image to fit a 4k project! I'd advise against it really. Thanks for watching!

@@FilmTyler Fantastic video! Great work. I have to get one of these lenses for my A6300. Just a question, you said you edited the 4K and 1080p footage in a 4K project. How does this work, if we are not upscaling/stretching the 1080p sized footage to fit the 4K project size? I'm learning, so bare with me :) Thanks!

@@albovell Thanks mate! And yes no worries so because I shot some of it in 4k I just edited in a 4k project. The 120fps you see is still 1080p! 🤟

@@FilmTyler Awesome, thanks for your lightning fast reply, cool :) OK! I was just wondering this, because in Premiere, if I create a 4K project, and import also 1080p footage there, the 1080p footage is of course smaller in pixel dimensions, so it fills only part of the 4K screen dimension. So you either 1) have to resize the 1080p footage larger to fill the whole 4K screen, which looks bad, or 2) create a smaller 1080p project, and downsize the 4K footage in it so it will fit into the smaller 1080p dimension. It seems Final Cut Pro makes this easier. :) Thanks again!

flo asse Hi I haven’t used the 16mm yet! So couldn’t tell you. Depends how wide you want the image!

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker do you think there is a hudge difference between 12 and 16mm for the wide ? I am not sure 🤔 but I am beginner, that’s why I told you.

flo asse Yes their would be a fair bit of a difference between the two. If you have a look at my video and compare to a 16mm video you’ll be able to see! Benefit of the 16 is that you get f1.4 so better in low light by a little.

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker thanks I will see your video !

Garcia Barnes Thank you bro! I use PP1. And shoot slog 2, S.Gamut Cine!

@@FilmTyler your welcome..

Fishing Ontario Yo! This was all shot at f4 and higher as I had no ND filter for it!

@@FilmTyler thanks bro! Looks amazing btw.

Fishing Ontario Legend thank you!

Zahin Azhari Hi mate, I used 30% of the suicide squad lut from lutify! Then made adjustments in final cut!

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker thanks for the info mate!

You're welcome man! @@starx68

JustJofranz Epic! Thanks

Josh H. Hi Josh. So this was shot in 120fps and slowed down by 25% so you’re seeing the results of what it was shot in. You can’t playback in 120fps or view the raw files on the A6500 unfortunately. Well I’m pretty sure anyways as I’ve tried.

Tyler Palmer Filmmaker, ah gotcha! No joke I was scratching my head seeing all these videos with 120fps in the tittle and feeling like I was completely out of the loop (feeling confirmed lol). So that’s what everybody means. I like your style my dude, be well! Cheers

Josh H. Yeah! Maybe we could title it differently then. Thanks for the feedback dude. And thank you! You too. Take care.

Muhammad huzaifi Hey! I didn’t use one in this. I just had the f stop between f5 - f10. It was an overcast day so didn’t need one. I don’t have one for this lens yet either!

@@FilmTyler oh nice...thank you bro.. love your artwork. keep it up.. love from Malaysia

Steadfast Studios Hi! So I use the focus ring on the actual lens. This is a manual focus lens

@@FilmTyler thank you for your response

slog 2, S.Gamut Cine. Then flicked between 25 and 120fps 👊

@@FilmTyler appreciate u! Fucking love the video

@@Itsjonathan2 Thanks so much mate!

peris kinos Yo! I’m actually not too sure. I think it’s too wide and you get a lot of vignette

12*1.5 = 18mm

Thanks man!

matse wunderlich Thanks so much Matse!

Virgyl Sowah Haha sick isn’t it!

DEMONITO Hey! No it’s a manual focus lens.

@@FilmTyler Thank you sir

Jasper Koekoek I don’t have too much trouble keeping the focus. Especially when the f-stop is super high. Only thing for me is that the slow mo isn’t as sharp and sometimes gives the illusion of a slight focus problem. But that’s down to the camera itself.

@@FilmTyler thanks I am looking for a lens for my a6500 but they are all really expensive

Jasper Koekoek Yeah this is a great affordable lens and give great results!

Eyyy thank you bro!

Александр Стоюхин Thank you

milk mug 🙌

120fps was captured in 1080p and the 25fps was captured in 4k then edited in a 4k timeline 🤟

freeley Thank you! It sure is!

Yo! So I didn’t have any IBIS on when using the A6500. Don’t really like how it makes the footage look to be honest. I think it’s just a combo of how wide it is mixed with the slow mo! And thanks!

Robert Alexander Hunter Haha cheers mate it’s those palladium boots they are dope! Hope you’re good man

@@FilmTyler yeah man thanks always good to see you uploading man

Robert Alexander Hunter Appreciate that bro. Proper legend

Thank you!

Raffi Panular I haven’t yet used the tokina 11-16mm but I’m sure it’s great. Both good lenses. If the 11-16 is as sharp then I’d imagine it being the better option if it’s the same price as this 12mm

@@FilmTyler ok thanks tyler

Qippy's Channel Do it man it’s super affordable!

@@FilmTyler done man! Picked mine earlier today :) ..managed to get a clean second hand one for around $230-ish
