ARE SAMYANG ROKINON LENSES GOOD ? 📷 Benjamin Jaworskyj

[@agylub]

I have just fitted the 12mm f2 to my FUJI XT2. It is really excellent and already one of my favourite lenses. Probably the best value lens I have ever bought.

[@markharris5771]

I have the Samyang 14mm and I love it, but I tend to use it mostly with analogue cameras. The look it gives with something like FP4 plus is gorgeous, and even though I use filters at every opportunity I can't remember any occasion I wished I could have got them on this lens.

[@tskcthulhu]

you can keep the lenses, i want that car

[@learnfromben]

Hi Ben, i am a newbie in videography on APSC camera. (i dont want to and dont think to move to full-frame at least for 5/6 years). I want to invest to samyang lenses since they are worth the price and the quality for beginner like me. Recently, i just bought 16mm t2.2 last month and feel that this lens is really sharp and well-built. Im thinking to invest more to another focal lenght such as 35, 50 and 85mm. Which focal length i should / shouldnt buy to build up my video gear. Now i have Samyang16mm, kit lens 18-55mm and Canon 50mm STM in my bag.

[@besogociridze]

rokinon (samyang) 85mm 1.4

[@agustawicaksono]

Hi ben, i shoot using canon t3i. i have Samyang 16mm t2.2 cine lens. i really impress with its sharpness at the widest t-stop. Anyway i am going to buy Samyang 35mm t1.5. Compare to the 16mm do you know how sharp the 35mm is? and for apsc sensor, which Samyang you suggest?

[@daoquang900]

the 12mm, or some other lenses, are for Mirrorless Aps-c cameras, not just Aps-C though!

[@bolaji9626]

do you think olympus prime lenses like the 25mm f1.8, 45mm f1.8 and the 75mm are better than samyang/rokinon lenses

[@Icelandscapes]

I have Fuji Xpros and recently invested in a 16 mm Rokinon, which is about 24 mm on APS-C. It is a good and sharp lens and has a f:2,0 which is great for a lens of this type. But is very big and bulky so I see now that I should have gotten the 14mm instead.

[@globeskate444]

You need to see the 135mm f2 from them. its awesome

[@DDHDTV]

Zach Divine I 2nd that

[@lunapictures7989]

Zach Divine That's a really good idea. It's super sharp and images from it are just stunning.

[@dronespace]

I can confirm that

[@Kry38]

I got the 24mm 1.4 which is awesome for night shots! It's really good value for money!

[@makemarker]

I got the Samyang 10mm 2.8, second hand for the aps-c sensor for peanuts practically. Really sweet lense but also hate the built in hood. Though the curvature of the glass will not really allow a filter. It almost looks like a fisheye.

[@garypentecost833]

I've got the 12mm f2 for my Oly Em5 Mkii and it's sharp as tack any softness on the edges for cropped frame sensor's are cropped out for 4/3d cameras....great lens

[@overnightdelivery]

Same here. The Rokinon 12mm f2 is heavier than a typical m4/3 lens because it's actually APS-C glass. That is actually a good thing because it gets rid of the soft blurry corners on a m43 size sensor without having to crop anything. Worth the extra weight to me for sharp images without soft corners. There is still some vignetting but easily removed in post with a couple of mouse clicks.

[@MrMeter6]

i'm not sure, but i think Samyang and Walimex lenses are nearly the same. I bought a Walimex 35mm 1.4 and its Amazing. for round about 350€ the best Lens i've ever seen.

[@Federico84]

walimex, samyag, rokinon are the same brand

[@priyangshupragyanborah1018]

make a video about Tokina wide angle lenses

[@SatwikBhamidi]

Hey Benjamin, I am an amature photographer and planning to start astrophotography. I have a Canon 6d mark ii as my body. I wanted to purchase a lens but got confused between 24mm f/1.4 and 14mm f/2.8 Samyang lenses. Can you make a video which will compare the two. Thanks in advance.

[@mx-wc3xd]

Welche guten apsc Objektive gibt es noch

[@mikaelhamberg14]

Have you used a fullframe samyang lens on Sony APS-C camera? Are they to heavy for the camera like Sony A6000? 😊

[@photo-markus]

Yes, I use Samyang 12 mm f/2,8 on Nikon D810 and LOVE IT!

[@mr.pinguin123]

Hi Ben What do you think about the 50mm 1.8 from Canon? :D I'm an amateur and i'd like to photograph portraits :) (I know, my englisch is not realy good)

[@ameliet8245]

Mr.Pinguin President Ah, this lens is so nice!

[@adamec145]

Mr.Pinguin President I would go for the canon 85mm 1.8, it cost a little more but you will get a lot better lens. Anyway, if your are not sure about photography yet, 50mm is the best first prime lens, since it's very cheap, sharp and f is nice.

[@brentonbish]

spend a bit more and get the canon 50mm 1.4

[@hunterrogue8591]

FYI MR .Pinguin President, your English is just fine.

[@NathanElcoate]

Fantastic lenses.

[@jacobsmith7413]

This is probably a dumb question but I've just got a new camera (Olympus OM-D E-M10 II ) and was unsure how to know what lenses will fit my camera and also what lenses/settings could help when trying to do star photography.

[@learnfromben]

just google what mount you have and then you know what lenses work :)

[@giulianocecatto5592]

Hi. Do you never experienced some camera freezing when using samyang 35 1.4 lens? It happens on my A7 III. :/

[@ema30061]

For landscape and milkyway photo which is the best 12 2.8 or 14 2.8 with sony a7??

[@joshelias8472]

Emanuele Buschi they would both work good. All depends how wide you want the shot. Not a big difference with the 12 and 14mm

[@CiaraMoore]

Lovely Content & super informative. Thanks!

[@learnfromben]

cool thanks

[@wholesomegreens2184]

Have you tested the rokinon 20mm 1.8 or the 24mm 1.4? I want to try them.

[@aaronevans3754]

Do they do Micro-Four Thirds Lenses?

[@Federico84]

they do

[@mr.wjohn_3481]

It's sad that the 12mm f2 isn't made for Nikon :o

[@sendhilvigneshwardhanapal4030]

Benjamin thanks for the video.. will you recommend SAMYANG 14 mil f 2.8 for canon 1100 D. ? if not, what is the recommendation for a wide angle lens.?

[@juricek4158]

My dad has samyang fish eye

[@itsetotv3837]

du bist der beste ✌🏼

[@neilcousineau4956]

Great travel hacks. I already knew and practice four of the hacks, but I didn't know about Google Maps off line. Love it. I will be using Google Maps for a trip to Germany this fall. Thanks.

[@yannickchaumont1225]

Maybe I should have watched this video first.😅 I love Samyang lenses and maybe I'll buy the 35mm f/1.2 lens. Cheers.

[@mr.90s81]

Hi, im just about to buy that lense, how does the image quality compare to the sigma 30mm 1.4 dc dn? I dont really care about the af

[@geraldvillanueva8768]

I find it hard to use samyang 35mm 1.2 its so under exposed maybe because of the UMC thingy

[@akissparaskevopoulos]

Nice accent. Thanx for the video.

[@GabbarSingh79]

zam-yang :D

[@mirgankapranjyotiborah2655]

Hi

[@PhilippeOrlando]

Well, I'm sorry, but this amount of lenses they sent you makes you work for them now.

[@learnfromben]

it was a rental for the testing

[@dbajpeyi]

Zumyooung lensses :D

[@saganandroid4175]

WTF dude, are you wearing a dog ?

[@bolaji9626]

do you think olympus prime lenses like the 25mm f1.8, 45mm f1.8 and the 75mm are better than samyang/rokinon lenses
