Samyang 35mm f2.8 Review + Fail In The Rain 

thanks for the beautiful photo examples. showing what this lens is capable of. now im convinced to buy this lens:)

I love my little pancake Samyang! It’s my go to lens when I hope on my motorcycle. I’m not worried about breaking it, it’s form factor is tiny and so lightweight. Honestly it’s stacks pretty well against the Sony Zeiss 35mm just half the price. I definitely recommend!

Hey that's the lens i use all the time. It's my sort of daily carry. So small and compact - very practical.

I love my Samyang/Rokinon 35 f2.8 for sure. I always slap this on when I am out for the day. I have the zeiss 55mm f1.8 and i feel that i keep the 2.8 on 8/10 due to size. If Sony does ever come out with their own 35mm 2.0 or 1.8 I will probably get that. Just hoping they can keep the size down.

I luv it Samyang lens. Really glad to see such like good review.

ok man im gonna need all the video settings for this video wow!...what!

PLEASE make a review of Samyang 45mm 1.8 and compare it to other Samyangs :)

So what was that podcast? :)

i enjoyed your video although it was a bit of a disaster weather wise... ive not tried this lens but its a good option for Full fame Sony a7/9 series .. im still waiting for a 35mm F1.8 ..& cant believe Sony havnt delivered one to us yet ?

Seemed like it wasn't until more than half way through that video that the review actually started. I found myself skimming through a lot smh

The 24mm version is the one I wanted for gimbal work.

I'm mostly here for the rain, cuz it's my thing :)

Very nice lens and Very nice place

Nice vid! Think ill buy one for my a7iii, i like the size. Little hint: you can actuallay pull the peak design anchors directly through the mounting points with a loop of thin string to get rid of that annoying rattle 😄

What happend with that dog? Is she OK? Great video.

I used to own this lens, and I would've kept it if it weren't for the terrible build quality, super noisy autofocus, and that ridiculous lens cap situation. If they were to re-release it with a metal build and a better lens cap, I'd grab it again.

You should see the prices of fuel here in the UK, makes yours look super cheap

Nice vid! What happened to the dog???

Today June 6, we have a small chance that next monday sony could announce a 35 1.8....very small chances but still we keep hopes :), meanwhile, my voigtlander is keeping me in love

nice vid thought, i'd like to know what chair you are on ;D thx

Torn between the Sony 28/2 and the Samyang 35. I’m curious of your take. What do you think? Thanks

Any autofocus noise with video?

I love mine, i don't care that it's made out of plastic. It focusses fast enought for me, af is almost silent and pictures look clean and clear for $250.

More random dogs please, otherwise very enjoyable! Subbed

hi.I have a a7iii.I want to buy samyang 35 mm f/@t u like autofocus(speed).I'm videographer.I work on event and rap @t focus important me?

Great Review!! thanks! what do you think about zeiss 55mm 1.8 ? I buyed recently i have a7lll and I use more for video than photo so I want a good lens for video and I found it have a good af in video also in photos its sharp but compared with my old sigma 50mm 1.4 dg with mc11(af continous and eye af) i saw a big difference and the sigma wins Idont know if the lens have something wrong but dont look like a lens with the price of 900€ but anyway I will keep it because works very well in video and also its tiny .

Hi! Where is that beach?

Petrol are really costly in nz

Was thinking of this lens until u said it fails in the rain ☹️

Hey Chris! What bag is that?

Great video tooo! Ps... iron your shirt... Bahahaha :)

Voigtlander, Nikkor, and several other lens makers have MF lenses with much better build quality and sharpness. This is such a cheap disposable lens. Save your hard earned money!
