Awww the poor 10-24, you hurt its feelings Omar 😢 - I guess I can't blame you, I really love mine for video use and for my photography but I will agree with you that sometimes it's just TOO wide and it's fun at first and then it gets kinda stale after a while. Shooting everything at 10mm gets boring and while it has a cool effect, it's often overused at times. But I keep forgetting its a zoom and I can zoom in for different compositions. I get what you mean by using the 16mm, now I have the little brother, the 2.8 version and it's more fun being restricted to that focal length, like you said you have to work the scene which in return makes for better photos. I've been questioning mine as well to be honest. Love the dramatic video man.

I own both the 10-24mmF4 and the 16mmF1.4, but I've never had the Rokinon. The 10-24mm is quite beefy and heavy, and I've seen myself not bringing it along when I go hiking for that reason. I did the first time, and never again. I would bring it only if I know I'm gonna need it. But every time I travel for city tourism, it comes with me alongside the 18-55. Especially if I'm doing street photography, possibly with architecture. It fits into a small slingshot bag and it isn't that bulky. And it's the most versatile, which isn't surprising, because it's a zoom lens, duh. But I think I use it mostly at 12, 14 and 20, with 10 and 24 being rare exceptions. The 16mm, on the other hand, is a weird focal length and I personally don't have many uses for it. I actually bought it for low light and astro, and also to have a WR wide angle lens, but I don't really use it enough to justify the purchase. However, it's come in handy for street photography at night (f/1.4) in crowded streets (wide enough, without being excessive) while keeping my ISO low, so it's my lens of choice for street and cityscapes at night. It depends a lot on what kind of photography you do, but I think the zoom is the most versatile and for what I do, I could live only with that lens 98% of the time that I need a wide angle. However, it's good to have one other wide lens with wide maximum aperture for low light. But the choice is very difficult. I think the 16mmF1.4 would be a better choice for street photography, since it's wide but not too much, and it lets in more light, so you can use faster shutter speeds; while the Rokinon would be better for landscapes, astro and architecture in low light, because it's noticeably wider. So, if I had to choose, I'd keep the 10-24 and the 16mm, because I do more street than landscapes or architecture at night. Plus, it's the only one of those three that is weather sealed, I believe.

during the meanwhilst - the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm is easily dismissed against the more expensive native autofocus zoom lenses, but what it does have, apart from price, is incredible compactness and being light, to go along with great image quality. It’s one of those lenses if it broke, I have to get another one, and affordable enough that I can. And given I never seem to need to focus (I shoot at f8 usually, sometimes f5.6, at night f2.8), the lack of autofocus doesn’t bother me.

@garymanning45784 жыл бұрын
No spoiler alert here. Had all three but couldn't keep all three so kept just one. Why? I can't really afford to keep three wide angle lenses. 12m Samyang/Rokinon very sharp, lightweight and compact but awful distance markers didn't correspond to depth of field or infinity. Bought it for landscape and astronomical use and guessed at focussing on a Galaxy Far Far Away. 16mm f1.4 FABULOUSLY sharp quite heavy and limited focal range even though 24mm is my favourite focal range. 10-24mm versatile and sharp at most focal lengths exceptional landscape lens bit duff around 22-24mm. So guess what, I bought the exceptional 16-80 f4 to go with one of the three mentioned above then added a 55-200 and am set. I forgive you for your choice as with your photography style you are absolutely correct. Great vid as ever. I wonder which one I kept?

Great for travel. The 16mm 1.4 is larger but I could never part with it. It has a magical quality about it and allows me perspectives that I simply cannot achieve with any other lens.

I guess the thing is that although most photography KZbin channels act like they were catering to the needs of professionals the overwhelming part of the audience are hobbyists. And hobbyists - most of the time - are on a budget. So they are always looking for "The Best Camera" in all situations (which) doesn't exist and since there is tribalism and since there are insecurities and since there is status and so on there is a huge potential for conflict. I'm a photographer for 25 years now. I shoot semi professional for almost five years. And I don't think there is one perfect camera. The A7III might be close as a perfect all rounder but it's expensive with the lenses und you can't take it in dangerous situations and it's to big to put in in a pocket and so on... there will be no perfect camera since money and physics will always be factors too. What are doing professionals? They are using specific cameras for specific tasks. I myself am using Fuji for most of my professional work (which is mostly journalism and event photography). Why? Because it's relatively cheap, because there are two card slots and because it's good enough. On the other hand, by now I shoot film when I do street photography (because people who disapprove of being photographed seem to be less angered when you tell them it only was film). And I'm saving for a Sigma Quattro H for landscapes. Way? Because the sensor is out of this world and because the really bad high ISO and the terrible AF and the even worse writing speeds and the horrible handling don't affect me at all when I'm shooting landscapes on a tripod. Als long as people think they can The One Best Camera there will always be bitching about other peoples choices. People should realize that in life you use specific tools for specific tasks. A Porsche might be a great car but I would'n't transport a piano in one...

I have the 10-24 and 16/1.4 here to compare and I'm seeing all the same things you are. The 16 is glorious for photos. It makes damn near anything look so dramatic and beautiful and it is SO bright. But when recording video, the autofocus is incredibly loud - make sure you're using an external mic if you want to capture audio! And even then I can sometimes still hear the lens focus. It also seems to hunt a lot more than the 10-24 but I'm not sure if that's just because I can hear/feel the 16mm focusing. With the 10-24, the autofocus is dead silent but the internal mic in my XS10 pics up what I assume is the OIS noise. A constant mechanical-sounding hum that isn't there with the 16mm. UGH why do they have to be so expensive - they're both so good!

I am shooting some interior of my house so I can rent it and the 16mm is just not wide enough I feel like. I'm also moving to Colorado next year and I think the super wide 10-24 would be a legit lens for landscape and nature and the fact it has IS I can shoot either in my small rig cage and or use it on the gimble. I could easily just rent the lens for about $50 for 2 day weekend but currently my only rental shop in HI isn't renting now because of a state wide lock down for COVID.

The Rokinon 12 is un-heard of value. One annoying issue I had was that none of the manual focus Rokinons I have (2 different lenses)(..and also with other legacy lenses on a voigtlander adapter) is that the manual focus scale is not accurate because I've heard they make the mount a little short to make sure you can achieve infinity focus. Because the depth of field is pretty deep at 12mm, I eventually found my solution for this lens. Enter my Brother label maker with black label tape and white ink. By trial and error I made a label with distances marked that fits and looks perfect. The distance between 12' and infinity on the lens ring is less than 1/4". The lens now works fantastic for pre-focusing by estimating. Then lift camera and shoot. It is faster and more reliable than auto-focus in many situations. The only issue that remains with my little Rokinon 12 for my Sony a6500 is that it flares pretty badly, but I can usually be aware and work around that.

All the other options either have no OIS (IBIS+OIS works better than IBIS alone, especially with video), suffer from glare/flare (like the Samyang 12mm F2, I love it, but 50% of the time there is some light source that washes out all contrast!), 10-24 and Viltrox 13mm suffer from wharpy/wobbly corners and are really huge and heavy, the 14mm F2.8 has slow/loud focusing. What else is there??

I agree with your selection. I for one have wanted the 10-24 for a long time but because I have an adapter for my Nikon glass and have a ridiculously sharp Tokins 11-16mm, I never bought it.

There are wants, needs, and use. If you find that the two that will stay will be of more use, then you've made "your" right choice.

hi. i am a beginner. can you suggest me that if i wanted to shoot indoor normal fitness videos , then what focal length should i need ? and which lens would be more suitable for me ?

You dumped the lens that I'm about to buy, lol. It's a video/vlogging beast from what I hear. The other two lenses don't have OIS and my X-T3 doesn't have stabilization. The WR version is lighter too, so not as much of an anchor to carry.

rokinon is known for being good for astrophotography. i haven't tried to shoot starry skies with my 16mm 1.4 but the rokinon does a great job.

I get your choice, love my little Rokinon - and was undecided between the 10-24 vs 16. I do a lot of starscape photogrpahy.

Hello from Vancouver! :) Great review. Trying to decide 12mm Rokinon vs 10-24mm for my hiking adventures :) After some time, do you have any regrets for decision?

Do you have a video coming out on the new xt200 ?

Hi Omar! I’m thinking whether getting a X-T2 or a X-T30. What do you think? Can you make a video on that? Thanks!!!!

Great job done. Missing the Zeiss 14mm/2.8. It is so sharp on the edges. The Rokinon has some problems with lens flares.

Hi Omar, I will be soon joining the Fuji owners club and I intend to get the Sigma 18-50 as my main kit lens. But for ultra wide angle, as I am shooting lots of landscapes, should i really for the Rokinon then or is there too little difference between 16 and 18mm to get the Fuji 16 1.4 ? thanks

I was the one who thought you'll let go the Rokinon. I guess I underestimated you. That being said, I do own both 16mm Fuji and 12mm Rokinon, and they don't overlap, instead, they complement each other. And in regards to zooms, recently I picked up Fuji's 16-55mm f2,8 and in the real world, that's the only zoom lens that I need...

Good decision, when I purchased the 16mm f1.4, I actually sold both the rokinon 12mm f2 and the 10-24mm, I found the 10-24mm had shit AF, nothing was consistently in focus, especially low light. and the 12mm well that was too much hard work Manual focus just slowed me down.

Did you ever look at the Zeiss Touit 12mm with AF. Its a great lens. I used to own that and loved it.
@duaneswaby6224 жыл бұрын
I feel ya on the not wanting stuff sitting around collecting dust. I have the Rokinon as well and I dunno...there's something about the rendering on the X-T1 that I'm not loving. I keep thinking I haven't spent enough time with it but it may be time to let it go...

I have the same wide combo Rokinon 12mm f2 and Sigma 16mm f 1.4... well almost the same. I am keeping both.

hey , thanks for the vid I have 18-55 mm but looking to get a second lens. Am debating between the 16mm 1.4 and the rokinon 12mm. I have heard great things about the 16mm , however it is on the expensive side. Which would you reccomend? Thanks in advance
