Very light, compact, portable, without apparent distortion and sharp. Very sharp. Since 2020 is always in my bag as my second lens.

[@v3zMedia]

This is definitely the best lens for vlogging. It's super light, wide, and sharp. If you break it some how being out and about it's super cheap to find used for $200-$230. This lens, the 135mm F1.8 and 35-150mm F2-2.8 is the Holy Trinity of Samyang/Rokinon Glass.

[@cameraguy2128]

Great price for an actual full frame lens and really like that it doesn’t show any distortion. Thanks for this video

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Yes indeed, not having that fish eye distortion was a big bonus for me. Thanks for watching

[@ocimaging]

I have this lens and I can certainly backup these claims. It is a very good lens and it surprises me almost every time I use it. One of my best lens purchases.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

This lens has been one of my best purchases to date. Thanks for watching !

[@kenroberts4972]

At 6:48 that blurry background is so nice. Looks like a lens "worth" getting. Thanks for this video

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Yes that f/2.8 does give some nice blurry background. Thanks for watching !

[@anantasin]

Thank you for the review. I just got mine today for my A7 IV. Love it!

[@Patrick.Richard]

love your voice , everytime i see any of your video it makes me feel warm and calm, your voice makes every mic review sounds good !!!

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Thank you for the compliment and for watching !

Bro, I recently bought a Samyang 18mm lens for my Sony A7C II, but unfortunately, the autofocus is really bad. While vlogging, it doesn't detect my face most of the time. I checked the firmware of the lens, and it's on version 3; I think the latest version is 8. I don't have a lens dock to update the lens. Could you please advise me? Would it be better to return the lens, or will updating the firmware make a difference?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

I would return it for another one

[@Cthames123]

@TarkshyaPictures I heard about needing the lens dock to keep Samyang lenses updated. The extra expense seems like a bummer. Anyway what ever happened with yur situation? Did you return the lens, or did you buy the lens dock and update your lens. If so, did it help any?

[@myreelart659]

Great review!! I’m gonna buy this lens for my A7iii . I Love how wide and sharp the lenses look and very light

[@WORTHITORNOT]

This has been by far my best lens purchase in many years, low cost and on sale right now, light, wide angle, great auto focus and fast f/2.8. Thanks for watching !

[@DangSnowy]

This video helped me decide on my first non kit lens! Thank you for the detailed review ✌️

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Glad it helped, it’s a great lens

[@tracydavidson9501]

You have a very nice calm voice. I could listen to your voice for hours. You should consider doing Audio books ! New subscriber here

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Awe thank you, honestly I have WAY too much on my plate as it is to even consider adding something else to the mix lol. But if/when things slow down a bit I will look into it. Thanks for subscribing and welcome !

[@AprilClayton]

I like the quality in your footage. Can’t go wrong at the price. I have the Sigma 17 F4, but want something faster.

[@Cthames123]

I have a A7 IV and trying to vlog with it on my Zhiyun Crane M2S, is not comfortable at all. Too heavy. Perhaps this lens could make walk and talk vlogging more practical. With no noticeable distortion, attractive price, tiny size, and wonderful sharpness, the only things holding me back are the lack of weather/dust sealing gasket and the need to have the samyang lens dock to update the firmware, (hassle & expense).

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Nice lens for the money, for sure. Truck- Haha!

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Haha, yeah it was a loud truck ! Definitely a nice lens for the money !

[@reggiebarnes26]

Hi love your review.. does it have any auto focus noise. An what lens filter did you use

[@WORTHITORNOT]

No noise at all and no nd filter was used.

[@reggiebarnes26]

@@WORTHITORNOT Thank you.. I'm ordering this today.. saved me some money

[@judithwhite3045]

Samyang makes some great budget minded lens. Great video

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Yes I am just learning this ! I will be looking at more of their lenses for sure. Thanks for watching !

[@vcsgowda9994]

Hi Sir, I am from India 🙏🏻😊, I have Sony A7sii, which Samyang lens best for Short movie's

[@WORTHITORNOT]

? Depends on your shots ! Wide, medium and close up, 18mm, 50mm and 85mm

[@SarathKumarTM]

How about using this lens on a crop sensor? Does that make a serious image quality difference while comparing it with the Sony 16-50 kit lens?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

The image quality is still great , but I don’t have a 16-50 kit lens so I can’t comment on that.

[@SarathKumarTM]

@@WORTHITORNOT I asked this because I am not actually that satisfied with samyang 18mm on my sony a6000.. it can either be the poor lens quality or my camera’s low resolution.. wanted to know what actually happened..

[@WORTHITORNOT]

@@SarathKumarTM I’m using it on my A7SIII and my A7IV and love it.

[@damiendelorme4164]

Thank you for your video, great :)

[@bobsinclair2216]

Nice looking lens, especially for the price. Cheers

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Price is fantastic for what it offers. Thanks for watching !

[@DjordjeSrpski]

is this FE or E lens ? I thought there is saymang 18mm 2.8 FE ?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Yes it's a FE Full Frame lens

[@ankera7460]

nice!

[@FireEagle89]

Will this pair well with a A6400?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

It will fit, but this is for Full Frame Sony and the A6400 is a APSC crop sensor camera.

[@FireEagle89]

@@WORTHITORNOT what lens would you recommend for my type of body? Thank you in advance! Great content!

[@dunjahdai]

How does this lense look on the a7iv 4k 60fps?

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Looks fine although with the 1.5x crop it makes this lens essentially a 27mm.

[@StirfriedGerman]

Sold :)

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Haha, what a great lens especially for the price. Looking forward to your A7IV videos !

[@StirfriedGerman]

@@WORTHITORNOT ​ Cheers! Busy as hell these days, but maybe soon ! I'm definitely getting that one and letting the 17-28 Tammy go.

[@WORTHITORNOT]

@@StirfriedGerman I did not have high expectations when I purchased this lens and I was so pleasantly surprised at how well it performed. Busy is good but take some time for you too, I'm trying to learn this myself haha.

[@StirfriedGerman]

@@WORTHITORNOT I'm busy preparing and performing with bands, and taking care of my daughters, it's not work, no worries ! The lens has a nice character, your footage looks great, total no-brainer. And the light weight is awesome, AF performance on point. We have sauna climate now, only 30 centigrade but 85-90% humidity, I basically melted today walking only about a mile. But lunch was spicy, maybe that helped open the sweat flood doors 😅

[@WORTHITORNOT]

@@StirfriedGerman Haha, it’s 35.5 C here today with the same humidity, totally miserable weather especially for a big guy like me.

[@georgeedelston6402]

Lmao at the tri nutter. Video looks good

[@WORTHITORNOT]

Sometimes I crack myself up lol

[@nsilva800]

I got this lens because i had to make a return to the store so i grab this lens because i know i can sell it without loosing money i have the zeiss 16-35mm F4 oss is a great lens but this samyang autofocus is crazy fast it's a f2.8 lens and it's so light to carry it i don't know if i still gonna sell it 😂😂😂 maybe 🤣🤣🤣
