Thank you Dustin for this video. I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. I am very much looking forward to these lenses and the future accessories and firmware updates Samyang will do. I’ve seen a review recently, they used an anamorphic adapter on the front (not Samyang yet) and this is exactly what I’m looking forward. I primarily shoot video and I agree with you that CA in some ways is part of the “cinematic” vintage film look. There have been some huge movies recently that used lenses that displayed large amounts of CA (one of the recent Batman movies) and if Hollywood can do it, I think it’s fine 😂. These new lenses definitely feel like they have a “feeling” and visual imperfections is exactly what I seek and love.
Quality review! Thank you for putting this together. I was really excited for these but the fringing might be the deal breaker for me. It’s a shame because practically speaking these feel like the best all around lenses I’ve ever seen! I still might pick up the set one day but we shall see.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Cant wait for this review! I'm literally holding up on buying one or the other until you and Christopher Frost review it. Review cant come soon enough!
Thanks for this review Dustin. I am new to photography and I just got myself a A7Cii. I am interested with this lens. Wondering if this lens works fine with Auto mode?
I can't decide which lens to buy, this one or Sony 35mm Zeiss f2,8. Both used and similar price. I have Sony A7 and are beginner. Any help appreciated! :)
The V-AF is definitely a much more flexible video tool. The Sigma is very sharp but is essentially featureless. I really love using the V-AF lenses for video work.
