Sold! Just got the Samyang 24mm F1.8 and I cannot wait for it to arrive tomorrow! Shooting landscapes, Astro, and even talking heads will be so much fun with this lens. Going for hikes and sailing will take on a whole new joy. I also have the Tameron 28-75mm di 111 VXD G2 and for $900, this is another shocker with amazing performance when compared to the G master serious. Both cases getting super high performance for 1/3 of the price.

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad my video was able to help you. Has your lens arrived yet and have you been able to test it?

I've been so impressed with this lens. I picked it up on Samyang's site for $310. I had no intention to use it professionally, but I really can't justify getting the GM now. Maybe if the GM was a little bit better or if I ran into AF issues with the Samyang, but that just isn't the case. 24mm isn't a super demanding focal length for AF, and I haven't run into any issues yet photographing couples, weddings, or events with it. It resolves super well on my 61 megapixel A7RIV.

Thank you very much for your comment 👍 The performance of the Samyang lens is very impressive. I didn’t know that it works also so good on a high megapixel camera like the A7RIV. 😮

@@dawa5581 I’m a wedding photographer and typically carry everything I need for the day on me. Because of how good it resolves in APS-C mode, I stopped carrying my 35mm f1.4. It definitely exhibits more chromatic aberration when cropping tightly, a little more green than purple in my experience, but it’s worth the weight savings.

Thank you. Exacly what I needed. I was looking for 24mm full frame lens, and have tough choice. Now it is clear to me.

I love the SY 24mm. Its very good. One of my favorite lenses. Ive done my own side by side.

Thanks for your comment. The SY lens is really very good. What came out of your comparison test? Did you have the same results as I did in my test?

Which ultra wide angle lens(12mm etc) should I get for my a6100, my budget is upto 200$ only

@dawa5581 7 ай бұрын

If your budget is only $200 then there is only one good ultra wide angle lens, the Samyang 12mm F2. I have also a video on my channel about this lens.

Thanks for sharing this great and thorough review! The Samyang did really well! Seems like a lot of reviewers and buyers are happy with this lens. There has been sample variations between Samyang lenses, but I think this has approved. And perhaps the small lenses in the Tiny series are easier to manufacture because of less glass...? What do you think about this? I got this lens, but haven't got to try it very much yet. Although the photos I captured with it have great sharpness and contrast. And I love that the lens is so small and light, like all the lenses in the Tiny series. The 45mm f1.8 is also a very good lens that I've used a lot.

Thank you for your comment. 👍 Samyang has been making very good lenses in recent years. It's still a mystery to me how they managed to put such good performance into this small lens. Actually, it is difficult to produce fast wide-angle lenses that small without the lenses having any problems in performance. The tiny series are very good lenses from Samyang.

@bennieferinga9609 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for your answer. Yes there has been improvement. The second generation auto focus lenses are very well regarded. And if there's problems, they'll send you a new lens. I think also Samyangs first zoom lenses; the 24-70mm f2.8 and the Tamron-copi 35-150mm f2-2.8 are supposed to be very good. They are very heavy though, but woul be interesting to test it. And when you mention it, I remember to have read or heard before that wide angle lenses are difficult to manufacture with good sharpness all over the frame. And like you said - the more impressive this lens is.

I use the 16mm Sigma F1.4 on super 35 mode & works great as a 24mm.. I like Samyang lenses, they have character to them unlike the Sony GM lenses

@dawa5581 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comment. 👍 I also have a comparison of the sigma 16mm F1.4 against the sony 24mm F1.4 GM on my channel. They both perform very well. But Samyang has released a lot of good lenses in the last few years and is only getting better.

@sharikmarius 26 күн бұрын

Isn’t the sharpness difference in the corners in the first comparison a result of the narrower depth of field of the Sony at 1.4? The corners are on a different focal plane than the center of the photo. It would’ve made more sense to test both lenses at 1.8.

@dawa5581 25 күн бұрын

Thank you for your comment. Both lenses have a hypofocal distance of 7 meters. At this distance, everything is in focus, regardless of the aperture. That's why I moved further away to take comparable photos regardless of the aperture.
