There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When paired with my A7C, this was a nicely balanced and very capable lens. Images were crisp and I found the subject isolation very pleasing at 1.8. Low light performance, including focusing, was simply stellar. I would say this lens is very hard to beat as a compliment to a mid range zoom such as the kit lens or a Tampon 28-75.
Now for the bad...
Honestly, the sharpness of this lens has become a burr under my skin as I can no longer be totally happy with the images from a zoom. Dammitt!!!! Even the wonderfully sharp 28-60 leaves a little to be desired, but this is the limitation of these zooms. I recently picked up the Tamron 28-200 and found it very disappointing in its resolution at 28mm. I think it will be going back today as a result. So, I think I will now be picking up another Samyang prime. Probably the 75 or 85.
So, be warned.... This may be the lens that converts you to a prime lens shooter.
If you're looking for a sharp excellent focusing,feature packed wide angle prime this is it. There isn't anything else even close in the price range. Ofcourse I'm sure the Sony 24mm f1.4GM is superior but for my budget and the fact that I'm just a hobbyist I'll save $900.
My other considerations were the Sony 24mm 1.4 FE and Sony 20mm 1.8 FE. Both 3x and 2x more expensive then this lens.
I am still testing its focusing speed and tracking capabilities. Seems fine so far.
Pros:
Lens feels higher quality then the 18mm 2.8 Samyang
Images are sharp and colors are warm
Fast focus on still images (videos TBD)
Small and light weight
Cons:
Lens hood although better quality then 18mm lens still a little flimsy, specially when put on reverse
Custom 1 and Custom 2 button behavior changes in A and S modes

Yeah the build quality leaves something to be desired but it's easily forgiven when you consider the price. The lens does suffer from some chromatic aberration but it's nothing severe and can be easily corrected in post. The focus motor is fast and accurate, though first party Sony lenses are of course faster. Excellent value overall. The only negative is that it suffers from quite prominent LoCA.

On the Sony ZV-E10 when you press the blurry background button with this lens... WOW, I love it!
I'm just a beginning learning to use the different length prime lenses and these Samyang (Rokinon same thing) lenses are just amazing value and offer such incredible value.
I was originally looking at the amazing Viltrox 1.8 line of lenses also, the Samyang's equivelants being a touch more expensive but the Samyang lenses have one thing up on the Viltrox in that they're all "weather sealed" and the Viltrox lens are not (I nearly bought the Viltrox, but glad I got the Samyang value).
