Im struggling to decide whether to go with the sayang 35mm 1.4 or the sayang 35mm 1.8. They are currently both around 320$. I am wondering if the 1.4 extra light is worth the much bulkier build, will it really help that much in night time photography and is it sharper. Or should I go with the small compact 35mm 1.8?? to put on my Sony a7iv?

Of those two lenses, I personally though the 35mm F1.8 the better choice. Much more compact, better features, better AF

Have you gotten to use it a little more? My copy sometimes has purple fringing in high-contrast scenes. It’s not every high contrast scene, so I haven’t figured out exactly how to reproduce it, and when it happens it’s only really noticeable when you zoom in, which makes it harder to detect. I only stumbled across it because I was trying to crop in on one of my images. Not a huge deal, but I was curious to know whether it’s a copy thing or if others were experiencing the same. Either way, this lens has performed very very well for me even in many high-contrast scenes. So, besides that occasional fringing that I haven’t figured out yet, I have no complaints. I am just so shocked by how well it performs. Worth every single penny.

Hi Dustin, great content as usual. Torn between this and the Sony - it looks like Sony has the edge in close-focusing which could be a dealbreaker for on-the-fly portraiture with the 7C (I have the beastly Sigma 1.2 for work, but it’s no carry-around!) Which 1.8 do you think has the edge?

The Sony is definitely better up close, though the Samyang is a lighter and sharper...which could be a factor if you already own the big Sigma.

I can’t decide between Samyang 35mm f1.4 mk 2 and Samyang 35mm 1.8. I n the favor of the first is the apeture of 1.4 but the 1.8 is much smaller, lighter and easier to use because of that. Which one would you prefer in terms if autofocus and image quality?

@ChristopherAndreou
@ChristopherAndreou 4 жыл бұрын
The Art will definitely have an edge over the Samyang - faster glass, sharp IQ, better build quality but with the tradeoff of size and weight. I would get the 1.8 for portability, the 1.4 for more serious work (or if you don’t mind the added bulk). Alternatively, go with the best (IMO) 35mm currently available, the Sigma’s enormous 1.2.

@@ChristopherAndreou thanks for the input, I've considered the 1.2 and also the 40mm 1.4... I think the 35mm 1.4 will be plenty for me though for my uses, my main lenses are the 135 1.8 g master and the 200-600... the 35 1.4 is for environmental portraiture of dogs just to give me a totally different perspective that's all. A few wide shots in nice locations. The price difference may make it hard to justify the 1.2 given that it's only an extra third stop of light over 1.4... choices lol

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 жыл бұрын
The input from Christopher is sound, though I might add that the Sigma 35mm F1.4 is NOT designed for Sony FE, but is internally adapted for the FE mount and focus system. The downside is that focus reliability is not as good as native glass and that the sound of focus is a bit louder (more of an issue for video). That's not to say that focus is bad at all, but in my tests of about 4 of the adapted FE lenses, I didn't find AF accuracy quite as good as the Sigma lenses directly designed for Sony (the DN lenses, like the 35mm F1.2)

Great review as always. I still love my Samyang 1.4 to death. It creates the best bokeh of all my lenses and I really don't have any focusing issues with it like you did. I'm going to do a family shoot in the afternoon tomorrow and have already attached it as my primary lens I plan to use. This lens would be awesome for someone like my daughters boyfriend who is looking to go smaller as he is into hiking and every ounce matters to him but he is a photography afficianado and quality images are important to him.

@@DustinAbbottTWI I really do like the big brother lens. I wish it was better for video focusing though. I do a live stream of Pinball every sunday evening and it is my lens of choice being the perfect focual range and the image it creates is amazing. We get so many compliments on how good it looks ever since we switched to it butit really doesn't focus that well in video. Is this new little brother lens better in the video focusing arena? Also, don't think I've stopped watching your reviews because I don't comment much anymore. I've just started watching a lot on my roku tv but it doesn't allow commenting.
