Haha my heart skipped a beat 😂😂
A few year ago, the management of Samyang replaced by the people from Samsung optics division which was dropped out. (No more samsung camera.) This is why Samyang’s products’ overall quality is getting better and better.
Huh, didn't know that! Great trivia there!
Hello from Kyiv. I am a Sony shooter and own a lot of Sony gear. I recently bought 2 Samyang lenses, 35mm F1.4 and the 85mm F1.4. The 85mm is supreme and you should review that lens because you will be blown away by the performance. The 35mm is a good lens and Samyang are working on software updates to improve the performance so perhaps you may want to revisit this in the future. I agree with your review of the 35mm but as a stills lens with average movement to or from you the lens performs very well. This lens is extremely good in normal use but fast action you will need something else and I would also switch to the A9 for this type of photography. Samyang have promised updates for the 35mm on going but you will need a lens station as their lenses do not update from the Sony body.
Regards Peter
Hello from Sweden!
The 85mm is on it's way and the Review will be up in a short while (fantastic lens). The 35 is a bit slow and underwhelming for sure.
Thanks for the comment man!
Hi, Do you know if Sigma art 35mm 1.4 firmware could be updated through the Sony body?
@@hamiddorosti3588 I believe not but I do not own Sigma lenses. I think you need to buy a Sigma dock as with Samyang and connect this to your computer to download and install. Usually only takes up to 5 minutes for this to be done. The only 3rd party lens I know that can be updated through the Sony camera is the Tamron 28 to 75mm F2.8
Thank you for a review! Genuine & joyful vid, pretty tech quality, and a good review too! I think you'll be successful at RUclips
you've turned a dull review process into something hillarious
When im using my af lenses, this one lives on my camera
I just upgraded from Sony a6000 to a7 iii. Already had the Sony 85mm 1.8, sold my Sigma 18-35mm and replaced it with the Samyang 35mm 1.4, and I only paid $400. I'm a happy camper right now. I also ordered the Godox/Adorama AD400 Pro for $400. I'm mostly set for now, only need an extra battery or two, maybe by the time spring comes around I'll order an ND clip on filter from STC Optics.
Congrats mate. Wish you all the best with your channel. Your videos are really cool
Thank you very much! Glad you're enjoying the videos :D
Hey Peter amazing review. Beautiful shots. Do you happen to know what firmware you were on when shooting this review? Do you still own or use this lens anymore? Thank you .
That was a great intro you have a voice fit for professional performance.
My favourite lens by far!
Hi. Do you never experienced some camera freezing when using this lens? It's happening on my A7 III. :/
You have to try to flash it with the older firmware 02, the new 04 and 03 are making it worse.
Kul med en svensk som gör denna typ av videos, bra kvalité på produktionen. Sub på det!
Ja, det är det inte många av har jag märkt :D!
Tack!
Instämmer helt!
I got this lens about 8 months ago and loved it at first! The lens completely locked up after a few months and isn't recognized by any bodies. After firmware update to V4.0 with the dock it worked for one day... then back to dead. Can't get ahold of Samyang support. Any ideas?? Tried on multiple A7III's and A6500; the dock recognizes the lens and firmware every time, despite not being seen by any bodies (lens never dropped or damaged, contacts are clean; stopped mid-shoot originally).
I borrowed that lens for a few days and was positively surprised; it is a great performer. Unfortunately, will not buy it because a friend of mine had exactly the same problems with you.
At this moment the firmware for this lens is the version 4. It means an incredible change in autofocus performance and video capabilities.
I just realized. Literally just got the lens and I saw version 4 when I updated. It's similar in speed to my tamron 28-75... happy with my purchase!
@@PhilbertWilliams Exactly. I bought it two weeks ago and I'm also very happy with af lens
Thank you for this, I'm waiting for my new a7R II (ok it is not so new anymore lol) and this is lens that I intend to buy. The only concern was the autofocus problem mentioned in video. If this is solved I'm buying it immediately!
@@PhilbertWilliams Hi Phillip, how are you? I am seeing if I buy this lens, what worries me is the auto focus, is it good? I buy the Samyang 35mm 1.4 or the rokinon 35mm 1.8? Greetings!!
I bought one about two weeks ago and unfortunately it was faulty straight out of the box. I wanted to use it with my Sony A7 III. Many times it couldn't find focus on anything, then after 1-2 minutes of trying, it would shut down the camera and restart. There were times when the screen turned green and the Sony froze. I returned it and instead bought a Sigma 35mm f/1.4.
Riktigt bra review! Har själv 50/1.4 samt 14/2.8. Kalas objektiv för prisklassen och för att börja bygga något med. Däremot 50in tror jag är deras första AF objektiv och den är lite för mjuk för jag ska känna mig nöjd många gånger.😅 det mest irriterande med 14mm är om man kör Continues AF, så ligger den väldigt ofta och rycker verkligen aktivt där. Bör fungera för video då om fokuseringen där är lite långsammare av det jag erfarit men med begränsat användande.😊
Tack! Ja alltså jag blev ju sjukt imponerad av denna gluggen när det kommer till bilder som sagt, men videomässigt så var den sådär. Bilden är snygg men AF kass. Får se om jag kan testa 14mm framöver, den är intressant!
So much better with the name - why not earlier? Thought your name is not good, would have changed it instant :D
Haha thanks, i don't know i just stuck with the old one because it was catchy!
Härlig kanal det här Peter! Tack för bra och informativa reviews och klipp! Jag flugfiskar och funderade precis på ett 70-200 f/4 till min A7iii för den typen av film (därför jag hamnade på din kanal).. men det känns lite som att det kanske är mer intressant att invänta ett Tamron f/2.8.
Tack Mikael, kul att du gillar den!
Hmm, den är svår ändå... Men iom att Sonys 70-200 har OSS så är den ju stadig att filma handhållet med till skillnad från en glugg som inte har OSS. Frågan är ju hur skarp och hur bra Tamrons alternativ är och när det kommer!
@@PeterLindgren1 Ja, det har ju faktiskt helt och hållet rätt i! Skillnaden torde vara väldigt stor på 200. Ja vem sa att det här var lätt, å andra sidan är det ju roligt att fundera och researcha. :-) Tack!
guys if you intend to buy a 35mm then the one to look for is Sony 35mm f1.8 it's more expensive but a superior and lighter lens.
tean tan i have both and I actually like better the handle of the samyang....🤷🏻♂️
Tjena Peter!!
Cool kanal du har!
En fråga, objektiv som du köper själv att testa eller ha för dig själv (som du vanligtvis inte får testa från sponsorer), köper du dem endast från inrikes affärer eller har du några bra utrikes (som Amazon etc.) som du gillar att köpa ifrån?
Keep up the good work!
Tjabba! Tack, kul att du gillar kanalen.
Jag köper alltid via inrikes affärer för att få rätt garantier och försäkringar om något skulle hända!
Så hade ju rekommenderat att inte köpa via gråimporter.
I was cracking up this whole video but also loved the review
That's just awesome to hear! Glad i can spread some joy!
as you see Samyang rules. It better than all these high budget Sony lens
Have you tried updating the firmware on your lens? The latest firmware v4 is much better, still not perfect but it something that you can at least rely on.
Do you need to buy special adapter by Samyang to update firmware?
@@GangstasCat Yes, you do unfortunately.
You my friend just got yourself a new subscriber:)
you make amazing videos you should have way more subs. You are going to go very for on the Tube
Thanks man, very appreciated!
Very underated lens only negative is size and weight but it's a very sharp lens
You’re so hilarious!!! Nice review btw! Love it
Great video, I am about to order the Samyang 14mm 2.8, for all reviews I have seen is very good for the price 😁
Thanks man! I'm really interested in that lens and have also only heard good things about it basically. Update me when you got it =D
I was considering that lens myself but I did not buy it because it does not have a filter thread so not good for landscape photography. Something you may want to think about.
@@user-fm5cs4ix9k Hi, there is an adaptor, around 30-40$ in eBay, but filters are quite big so more $$$ I have just purchased the Samyang 20mm 1.8F as that one has filter thread and came at very good price, but still have the 14mm in my list 😋😋
@@londonvideographer Cool that someone has designed something for that lens but for me I already have filters and adaptor rings so even though this is available I would need to buy filters just for 1 lens and this would not be practical. For the money this lens is sharp just a pity Samyang did not design something universal to put on the lens that would allow for photographers to use their existing filters
thanks for sharing this prime lens peter!! im curious how it perform in low light :D
My pleasure man! It is actually really good, image quality is still great. I should have included that too but I'll try to cover low light performance in my next lens review!
@@PeterLindgren1 100% waiting for it!! keet it up man, love ur content!
FYI, They fixed those auto focus issues with the most current firmware update.
Then i need to update!
@@PeterLindgren1 yes, there is no in camera update. You'll have to buy the samyang lens station. Firmware fixes the issues but in AF-C noticeable noise. Nothing distracting but it's noticeable. ✌️
Did you install the latest firmware before testing it?
well im considering this, or a 7artisan 35mm f1.4. This looks like a lot of glass for the price, it makes the 7artisan look so tiny lol, but are they the same in sharpness?
Great video. Did you notice any noise when it was focusing? I get like a crackling noise. On my second lens.
guess what, I got it! can you do a real world test with this thing for video? mine actually works great. but I got the rokinon, its supposed to be the same but mine doesn't jitter in video. but I agree manual focusing isn't good. although if you buy the lens station you Can adjust the resistance. and I'm getting the tampon next month :)
Awesome man, glad you're satisfied with it! There are some shortcomings for the price but it's a good lens 👌. Always nice to have an extra tampon 😂
Thanks Peter, have you experienced samyang lens freeze on you sony camera? Thanks!!!
You're welcome! Yes, i actually experienced the 14mm freeze up on me several times when i tested it. Not good!
Thanks for the review very helpful. I'm buying my first Sony A7 camera as soon as the Tamron 17-28mm arrives.
You're welcome! That's awesome, I am waiting eagerly for the 17-28 lens myself so as soon as I get it I'll do a review of it!
@@PeterLindgren1 I've heard it'll be approx £850 fingers crossed. 😁
@@markshirley01 Yeah it's probably gonna land somewhere around there! The 28-75 and the 17-28 will be a killer Gimbal combo for the Sony cameras, that's for sure!
Mark Shirley man you might be waiting to 2020 to get into Sony then. Tamron is slow playing it. It’s sad.
video is nice. But perhaps you can level the audio when you switch to music. I prefer on pitch throughout
this lens doesn't leave my a7iii. i use it for portraits and videos and have no problems. make sure you upgrade the firmware of this lens to the latest to get the best performance.
I had this lens on the latest firmware as of the recording but there might be a new one that has dropped that i haven't tried.
@@PeterLindgren1 the latest version is 4. Just tried it today and video AF is much better.
@@MarkLargo It dropped at june 21st (this video was recorded at the 2nd) so there was no option to update it since it wasn't released. But glad it's working better!
@@PeterLindgren1 I thought the firmware was released in May but I could be wrong. Anyway, it's an awesome lens and needs more positive videos like yours to promote it.
Great review…lots of useful info like heavy weight of the lens may cause holding issue…
great reivew Peter... I laughed at your skit on the weight of the lens... this was my issue & why ive not bought it... im waiting for Sony to do a 35mm F1.8 .. I like samyang & what they are doing right now
Thanks Gilbert, glad you liked it! Haha, i thought it was kinda funny. Yeah, hoping Sony will release something new soon again. But this was a real performer!
HELP! I'm buying Sony A7 III. Should I go with the kit lens or buy the Samyang 35mm f1.8?
Would love to see a comparison between this and the sigma version
Would be cool, unfortunately i can't get my hands on it =(
@@PeterLindgren1 this lens was actually on sale today for Amazon prime day at around $440. I had to pick it up! I can't wait to use this for portraits
What version of the firmware is on this one?
Dette ER et profesjonell objektiv. Samyang er klasseledende på optikk til video, så de vet hva de holder på med :)
Comparing it to similar lenses that are more expensive I can say that it is not a professional lens. The AF is slow and noisy, the focus ring is not precise, so I think it's a great entry level lens but far from a professional one!
@@PeterLindgren1 Got to admit I never used this 35, but the 85 + 14mm F/2.8 I use all the time. I think they deliver a lot for the money :)
@@kenspo Oh but i agree that this lens is a really good lens for the price. But again, comparing it to the more expensive lenses does make this feel like an entry level rather than a pro lens! How is that 14 mm? i haven't tried it but i really want to!
@@PeterLindgren1 Fair point :) I love it..My favorite. Always in my bag!
the lack of third party lenses and batterylife were the two reasons to go sony. while it pays of it also bleeds off my wallet, would be more hesitant to buy lenses if they were more expensive. but at a dicount price of 400€ its hard to resit... still gotta find a nice bridge to live under haha
In your opinion, which is the best AF 35mm lens for Sony full frame?
hmmm im gonna look into it dude!
sry been busy my guy
Do it!
No worries man, do your thing :D
@@PeterLindgren1 This or 50 1.8 FE? $400 price difference
@@jimmyhidalgo2680 This
@@jimmyhidalgo2680 This for sure
Lite mera hår på huvudet här ja ☺️
Would you take this lens as the only lens during a wedding shooting?
Where can I change to manual focus?
In camera
Probably my next lens... I have the 85mm 1.4 and it works really well. Continuous Eye AF on A7Rii works well too.
C.J. Cato would you reccomend the a7rii for video and portraits?
This lens and the 85mm are next on my list of lenses to get 👍🏽👍🏽
Please do a video about the best 35mm for the Sony E mount system :)) (like you did with 85mm!)
Unfortunately this (and all other lenses i've tested) was only for rent. But who knows what i'll do in the future!
Changed your channel name I see Peter....Lol
Yep! I got convinced :D
hi looks like u found another one of my favorite channels lol
@@jimmyhidalgo2680 Yes Jimmy you have great taste what can I say! Looks like I need to tell you a few more to check out lol 😂
Paul Feinberg would be appreciated! Sry i havnt been so active on ur channel but i got my phone taken away and i cant always be on my computer and when i am its for stuff i really need to see, do u know any good AE tutorials?
@@jimmyhidalgo2680 Oh man, you should be a good boy Jimmy! LOL......I actually do not see many creators talk about AE. I personally use FCPX because 1. no subscription fee 2. There are so many titles and plugins so I do not have to worry about learning AE. LOL
Firmware version?
Hi sir great fan your channel.. I wanted advice, I own Sony a7iii and 85 1.8.
Option 1 : shud I sell kit lens 28-70 3.5-5.6 and get Tamron 28-75 2.8 instead ?
Option 2 : keep kit lens and buy samyang 45 1.8 or samyang 35 1.4 instead ?
sell the kit and save some money then buy 24mm 1.4 GM youll be love it!
Hola Giuliano como estas? Ahora estoy en la misma duda que tu estabas en ese momento, ahora que ha pasado un año, recomiendas este lente? o mejor me voy por el rokinon 35mm 1.8? Quiero un lente angular con buen boken para los eventos sociales con mi sony a7iii. Saludos!! Y muchas gracias!!!
Would this lens be a good match with sony a6400?
It certainly would be huge but it would give you some good images!
I would probably go for the Batis 40mm F2 instead though!
Can you please make a review of this lens on a sony apsc camera?? Please please
Also batis doesn't fit in my budget
@@sushrutrathod9015 Unfortunately i don't have an APSC camera :(
@@PeterLindgren1 thank you for your guidance sir...
I have a small doubt, which i think you might know the answer to it...
If i pair a weather sealed lens with the sony a6400... Can shoot in rain with the kit?
@@sushrutrathod9015 You're welcome! Well, not in heavy rain but in a drizzle would probably work yes!
yo my man! du blaster youtube fortiden med dine sykt gode videoer... men hvorfor snakker du aldri om 24-105 f4 oss og værbeskyttelse
jeg eier denne linsen og flere prime objektiver (zeiss batis) men jeg bruker nesten bare 24-105 objektivet... hører deg aldri si at 24-105 objektivet er bra for nybegynnere.. hvorfor ikke???
I haven't tried it out yet and that is the main reason as to why I haven't recommended it or made a review of it! I will see if I can get my hands on it and do a review though!
Jeg hadde elsket å sett deg bli oversket over den optiske kvaliteten
It is kind of too big, it is the most frequent issue i have with the lenses for the Sony system
What did you recommend?
this looks appealing for astrophotography
So, you choose this over the batis 40 f2?. Because I remember your revoew of tje batis was kind of negative. I got batis 85 and I was maybe thinking to trade my samyang for the batis 40, just to make a zeiss 40, 85 combo. Gracias!
Gustavo tengo la 25mm f2 la 40 mm f2 y 85mm f1.8 y te puedo decir que la que mas uso es la 40mm es de lo mejor que tienes en Sony dos lentes en una y la verdad son todas muy buenas Vendi mi 24-105mm f4 y solo tengo las primes y no me arrepiento
How do you change your channel name?
Great review looks like a great lens
It's actually really easy, I'll send a link to you on Facebook!
Hey! Bro i have tamron 28-75mm and i want my second lens which lens do you prefer for video? Please do suggest..!
20mm 1.4 sigma
you're in the same condition like me. Im going to grab 1635 f4 first very soon. and maybe the next one is prime lens for low light condition.
I guess 1635 and 2875 is a perfect cover for all range? imo
I would not go for the Sigma 20mm as said above if your main focus is video. The Tamron 28-75 is gonna be the most versatile lens that you can get for sure. I would combine it together with a lens that has OSS to make sure that you can shoot handheld footage that looks good. As Sebastian says, the 16-35 f4 is fantastic as a video lens!
Yup!! That's it I'm going for 16-35 f4 and thank you so much Sebastianus and Peter i was so confused before but i known now.
@@arunmeheta106 You won't be disappointed, it's a truly great lens for video. All the top down shots of my reviews are shot with that using Autofocus!
Found it for $300 used!
Awesome! Samyang lens.
I saw you look through the back of the lens with the cap on! Rookie mistake Peter 😂 Great review, interesting lens, shame it sucks for filming, looks solid for everyday photos though. I over-use the Zeiss 35mm f2.8, it's so small I take it everywhere with me, razor sharp too! You can pick it up used for a similar price. Good call on the name change, remember to get that watermark changed too.
Haha I wasnt looking through the lens, I was showing the front to the camera! Thanks, it's a solid lens for the price.
I personally don't like the 35mm focal length so I'll stick to the wider or narrower!
Done and done!
@@PeterLindgren1 I've become very fond of the 35mm focal length to the point that I found myself shooting fashion, portraits, landscapes, travel, everything with it. 28mm is too wide for portraits, and 50mm too narrow for cityscapes. The 35mm ended up becoming my goto lens for almost everything. It's interesting testing yourself, using the same prime for a month for example to shoot everything, it really makes you become really creative.
@@PhillipSkraba Awesome, i'm going to use the 24mm GM for the coming 3 weeks now, so that's exciting!
ill go with sigma 35mm art then
Haven't tried it but I do think that the sigma will be a better choice than this one. However, this is really sharp at f1.4 and works really good for photos!
Hi man, i was searching a 35mm lens with image stabilazation because i have the Original A7 and when i filtered image stabilzation this came up and i am not used to samyang having image stabilzation.
does it have it or not?
GroeppieZX I no, and There are not any 35 mm with ibis, maybe jump to a7ii
Is this good in astrophotography?
Did you update the firmware of the lens?
Didn't want to buy the lens station since the lens was a loaner so nope.
Is the auto focus good enough for a talking head video?
what firmware did you test this lens with?
V04, the latest that they got on their website
Yeap. Good enough for a sub. Very good english (says the swede) :)
almost got this lens, went for the 24 1.4 GM instead. I can always make it a 36mm on crop mode or my a6300 anyway. kind of like two lenses in one
Oh, the GM is just in a completely different league in every way! Good choice there, I might just go for it myself 🤔.
Hörde svenska . Direkt sub.
