In this Samyang AF 12mm F2 review I'll show you example footage and photos that I took with this lens. I will also help you decide if this is the budget ultra wide lens for Sony APS-C cameras. In some countries this lens is also known as the Rokinon 12mm Sony E Mount lens.

WATCH NEXT, Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/inXWk2ejlKdgZw

[@Richoecreate]

Another awesome detailed review Jussi! It's impressive for the price that's for sure!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks Rich! I gotta get 2 more Samyang reviews done before the baby’s birth, less than two weeks left! 😂

[@aristosmichael9749]

Thank you for the awesome review brother! Keep up the good work!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you! 😎🙏

[@jasonkoh]

Thank you for another great review!

[@JussiAlexander]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lifeatfullframe]

Just ordered this lens, based on your review. Thank You!

[@JussiAlexander]

Awesome! 😎👍 Good choice!

[@TheShahrukh95]

OMG unbelievable😃 second video in a week😍 But when you’re blogging in the street The video was little shaky But the Autofocus was amazing. I saw the baby bed also🥰😍 And the pictures Just wow

[@JussiAlexander]

Yeah bro, I gotta get these lens reviews done before the baby is born! 😅 In Sony APS-C cameras there's a terrible rolling shutter which accentuates even the smallest shakes! That's why it looked shaky, although I tried my best to keep it steady! 😂

[@kirimagemedia]

I kinda like the colour vibe on your talking head bits!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks!

[@JBFilmsStudio]

Good evening bro,, welcome back,, now watching💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@JussiAlexander]

Evening Jovan! 🙌 Hope you'll enjoy! 😎

[@JBFilmsStudio]

@@JussiAlexander yes bro,, as always.

Nice review, good looks for the product shots 👍

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks!

[@ThaiMyStyle]

Hi great review. Can this also be used on the Sony A7c? Thanks Icecy..

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks! Yeah you should be able to use this on the A7C on APS-C mode

[@allen3158]

how does this lens in apsc camera compare with sanyang 18mm in FF camera? it theoretically would have some pov, but really curious about the distortion comparison

[@EvordRiccie]

Sony ZV E10 + samyang 12mm F2 makes it perfect for vlogging camera.

[@JussiAlexander]

That sounds like a good combination! 👍

[@Hugozen]

The combo I am currently using.

[@erdaphoto]

For the image quality, which one better, samyang 12mm f2 or sony 10-18mm f4?

[@duekneel]

perfect focal length for apsc cameras!

[@JussiAlexander]

I like it too! 👍

[@steveteusch6270]

How is the lens flare? The manual version had a bit of a problem.

[@federicomunoz3193]

its better than Sony 35mm 1.8? and Sony regular 16-55? for astrophotografy? i'm using Sony A6000

[@harolddasynth795]

I have this,awesome lens for the price!

[@JussiAlexander]

That's cool! 😎👍

[@louisemeincke5269]

Great review!How is compares TTArtisan 7.5mm f2 at astrophotography?

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks! I haven't tried the TArtisan 7.5mm f2.

[@eatplayfilm]

Hi Jussi, I 'm considering to buy this lens. Do you use gimbal or just handheld? How do you fix the stabilisation for footages? My channel is a food&travel channel do you this lens is good for me? Thank you.

[@JussiAlexander]

That depends on many things. I you need a decent and affordable wide angle lens for example vlogging then this is a good option. I usually film handheld but if I really need super stable footage then I use a gimbal.

[@eatplayfilm]

@@JussiAlexander thank you.

[@MasoodJamal]

Is this a perfect choice with Sony ZV-E10 camera for indoor Real Estate videography ?

[@JussiAlexander]

Nothing is perfect but it's good for those too.

[@MasoodJamal]

If we compare Samyang 12mm Vs Rokinon 12mm which one is a good choice because both of them has the same features ?

[@JussiAlexander]

Rokinon is a sub brand of Samyang.

[@Shekhar.chhetri]

Bro but it doesn’t has stabilization… which make video shaky isn’t it ??

[@MasoodJamal]

Which these ultra wide angle lenses do you suggest for indoor real estate videography in a low light noisy situation with Sony ZV-E10 camera ? 1. Sony 11mm f.1/8 2. Samyang 12mm 3. Rokinon 12mm 4. Tamron 11-20mm 5. Viltrox 13mm F1.4

[@JussiAlexander]

From the lenses that I have experience using, I prefer the Tamron 11-20mm

[@cborel83]

yea but your technically shooting at 18mm since your shooting with a 6500 right?

[@JussiAlexander]

That's basic knowledge.

[@AndrisLelisTravelChanel]

To expensive, I prefer 7 Artisans 12mm

[@JussiAlexander]

7 Artisans 12mm is too expensive, should be free!

[@stephensapnu9165]

🤣Nice one

[@ABDULCHALIK1]

f2, i think your thumbnail is wrong

[@JussiAlexander]

Nothing wrong with the thumbnail. But there was a typo in the title.
