    I just bought the DG DN before the Samyang was released. I don't regret. Although it appears to have a "lesser image quality", It's extremely sharp even shooting at 1.4 in low light with high ISO, so nothing to complain about.
    And I'm very sure having a stupid switch for ONE ring instead of a distinct aperture ring with indications on it (it doesn't roll until the infinite, if you aim for 2.8 you get 2.8) is way more handy.

    i love adjusting the colour mix in lightroom, and when theres a halo effect like the one the samyang produces it can be really annoying because it makes the colour mix look weird and unnatural :/ but the higher quality that the samyang produces is ideal, i can’t decide!!

      @fueledgti Год назад +1

      How is your Mark 1. Mine has been horrific. Terrible in accurate autofocus and the top half of the lens has much less bokeh then the bottom half. This might just be faulty but it’s worth mentioning. Apparently the mkii improves in all these aspects

    My old Nikon D800 bag consisted of Sigma 35 1.4, Nikon 85 1.8g, Tamron 24 70 2.8, and 70 to 200 2.8 USD. I found that this is all I need for everything I did. Now that I am transitioning to my A7R2, I finally scored a Tokina 85 1.8 for $250, and a Tamron 70 to 180 2.8 for $700. Two more lenses to go. A 35 1.4 and a 24 to 70 2.8 Zoom.

    Please tell me which one should I buy?
    Samyang 35mm f/1.4 D OR OR Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN
    video is my priority while choosing a lens auto focus and focus breathing is my first priority. I can afford sigma 35mm 1.4 dndn as well as samyang 35mm 1.4 II but can not afford sony gm 35mm
    my priority is samyang because in india samyang is little bit cheaper so i spend rest amount for other accessory

    Those reviews are stupid AF, sorry to say that. You pinpoint some detailed/maybe crucial differences, such as plastic vs metal, halo vs less halo around bokeh balls, and then you give points to both lenses :)))

    • @TomCalton
      @TomCalton  Год назад +11

      The hilarious thing is, if I marked one lens down for being plastic rather than metal, or had taken a point away just for haloing on the bokeh balls, I'd have ten times the amount of people in the comments jumping down my throat telling me my scoring is "dumb AF". It's something I can NEVER please everyone with. And so, I don't try to please everyone. The scores are based on my own opinion and experience. Don't agree with that? That is absolutely fine! Make your own scores up. Hell, why not make your own review videos? But calling my reviews dumb because my personal opinion doesn't align with your own, that's what's dumb AF. Sorry to say that...

      ​@@TomCalton Look, I appreciate your detailed response and respect your opinion. I just have different. For me it seems like you are trying to please everyone. You do have opinion and in fact the things that you point out in the vid are all valid. Then, the score is just like you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I mean, alright, that's your thing, you character, it's fine. I just preffer plain truth. Metal build is always better than the plastik, maybe weights more, but it just feels better, more premium and also is more robust. Same thing with haloing, it's simply better not to have that. I personally hate excessive fringing in out of focus areas.

    • @TomCalton
      @TomCalton  Год назад +4

      That's exactly my point. Your opinion differs to mine. And that's absolutely fine. But what's not ok is for you to call my reviews dumb purely because my own opinions don't match with yours. And to then accuse me of deliberately trying to please everyone when you don't know me at all is just plain weird. If I wanted to please everyone I wouldn't point out the failures of the lenses I test, which I do regularly and also get slated for A LOT in the comments. Ultimately mate, these videos are here to help you make your own informed decisions based on the evidence I provide and my own experience. My word isn't gospel and you should always come to your own conclusion based on your own personal preferences and shooting style. But do us all a favour and keep the finger pointing and baseless accusations out of the discussion. It's boring.
