Samyang AF 12mm f2 E | Is it good for videos?

[@shaha_ab]

Very good review. Added you Bro. Stumbled upon your video as it appeared in my home page, recommended by youtube I think because I have recently mentioned the lens in my video, just for your info.

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Thank you bro 🥳🙌🏼 appreciate the encouragement. Will check your video out 🤜🏼

[@setupsingapore8104]

Mine just got delivered, have only done prelim tests, but it looks great. When we get out of lockdown, will be giving it a serious shakedown. Good show! Cheers.

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Thanks for stopping by 🙌🏼😊 and yes, if only lockdown wasn't in the way, i would definitely enjoy it more 🥲 enjoy yours my friend

Hey, after using the crop mode on sony fullframe how much difference you find using this lens? BTW really nice video and nice examples you have shown in the video. Keep up the good work.

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Hi ☺️ thanks for the words of encouragement 🙌🏼 it means alot. As for the lens on fullframe, there's not much difference in terms of optical quality, but I think what can affect it is the AF system that you have on your body. I think these ultrawide options are good to have for A7iv users to use in the 4k60 with that super35 crop.

[@cushagui3770]

URGENT!!! I bought that lens, it does not recognize the AF on my Sony a7iii. that I have to do????

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Sorry I've just opened the comments 🙏🏼 have you tried updating to the latest firmware for both lens and body? Another trick is to open and put back the lens on.

[@MightyThor10]

Hi, would you advice me to get it for my Sony A7SII??? Would it be the full 12mm focal lenght??? Thank you!!!.

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

Nice video. Is this a full-frame lens? what is the range on a full-frame body?

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Thank you 🙌🏼😊 its an apsc lens and becomes 18mm equivalent in focal length. Samyang has the fullframe equivalent AF 18mm f2.8 FE lens for fullframe

[@DefinitelyNotAGuru]

@@AmirulNoorazmi thank you so much 🙏

Which camera lens is a good choice for indoor Real Estate videography with Sony ZV-E10, Samyang 12mm, Tamron, 10-24mm F/3, Rokinon10mm F2.8 and Laowa 9mm please guide ?

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Hi Masood, thanks for the question. I've shot interior real estate using an apsc system before, on my fujifilm xt1 + samyang 12mm f2 manual lens, i struggled in some tight spaces, so if you could get the widest possible and fastest lens would be best. In my head right now the priority would be the widest field of view. If you have no need for autofocus then the 9mm laowa would be great, but if you're looking for a lens with autofocus, I'd personally pick the Tamron 11-20mm f2.8. If budget is a constraint but still need autofocus, then the Samyang AF 12mm f2 is a great middle ground 😊🙏🏼

[@cassandralange7993]

Thank you for the video ! Do you think this is a good lens for filming yourself for youtube video ? I hesitate between this lens and leica 15 mm F1.7

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Thank you for stopping by, sorry for the delayed reply, been caught up with back to back shoots 🥹🙏🏼 As for filming yourself for KZbin it's definitely a good option to have for Sony shooters. But then since the release of the 11f1.8 and 15f1.4 we're spoiled for choices. So I think it ultimately depends on the budget we want to spend on ☺️

[@djcova6235]

Did you color grade? If so how much editing do you do & what picture profile? How is it in Low light?

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

For this video itself I didn't color grade, used the Fuji film simulation Classic Chrome. As for the video samples I used the presets inside Premiere Pro, if not mistaken it was the eterna or fuji lumetri preset 😊 And internally i think i used PP4 🤔 So far in lowlight it works well, I used it with my A7R4A

[@jayguerrerolifestyle]

Hi is there any vignette when I attached on my A7 III? Thank you so much.

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Hi Jay, thanks for the question 😊 since it's an APSC lens, if you don't enter super35 mode on the a7iii, there'll be a physical vignette. If you are looking for an ultrawide perspective but for fullframe, maybe you can consider the AF 18mm f2.8 instead 😊

[@lectrictraveler]

I subscribed, thank you for your video. I too am working on a garden KZbin channel. --chris

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Hi Chris, appreciate the support 🙌🏼☺️ hopefully like your garden, your KZbin channel will bloom and flourish too 🌟

[@lubisvision]

Hi Amirul. When I attach this lens on my full frame. The screen displays lines on left and righ side. How to hide or off this lines

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Hi Ikhram, thanks for the question 😊 in order to use an APSC lens on our FullFrame bodies, go into super35 mode, or you can assign a custom button (C1 for me) to switch between super35 mode and fullframe. Hope it helps Ikhram! 🙏🏼

[@haekalyassin8529]

If its on apsc that will be 18mm right for sony a6500?

[@AmirulNoorazmi]

Hi Haekal, thanks for dropping by 😊 yes, there will be a crop factor on Sony apsc and 12mm will give you an 18mm equivalent field of view
