| sent on 01 Gennaio 2015 Pros: nitidezza pazzesca, costruzione solida, ghiera messa a fuoco morbida e piacevole Cons: peso, problemi con maf all'infinito, circa 3 stop di vignettatura ad f1.4 Opinion: ho strausato il samyang 35mm e ormai siamo inseparabili. usato sulla nikon d800 con i suoi 36mpx mostra a pieno la sua nitidezza. i problemi sono il peso, che a volte lasciano da pensare se portarlo con sé o no in occasione di trasferte, l'imprecisione della conferma della messa a fuoco sotto f4. mi spiego, la profondità di campo è così poca che sotto quelle focali (anche a distanze non eccessivamente ravvicinate) la conferma risulta grossolana e poco precisa. per il resto sono un grande appassionato di ottiche fisse, ed ormai ho fatto il callo con il fuoco manuale, e questa lente vale ogni euro speso. |
| sent on 21 Gennaio 2025 Pros: Resolution and Colors Cons: Bad build quality Opinion: Optically it is a little gem, beautiful colors very very similar to Zeiss, excellent resolution at open apertures and excellent at closed apertures. The problem, and what a problem, is that this goodness is not supported by a decent construction, it is not only a matter of external plastic but it is also all the internal construction that leaves you really amazed (the front lens assembly when cleaning e.g. with lenspen moves by half a mm.......) My specimen specifically was also misaligned (the focus between right and left was totally different), moral of the story if you have money go directly on used zeiss 35/2, otherwise there are very good lenses such as 35 1.8 nikon and tamron, in addition to the sigma art that even if plasticky at least are built with knowledge of the facts. |
| sent on 08 Settembre 2022 Pros: Sharpness, construction, brightness, colors, bokeh Cons: Weight, chromatic aberrations Opinion: I waited more than 1 year to review it, to know it better especially with regard to focusing as it is a manual focus lens and large aperture: good brightness in the viewfinder, less well the depth of field, very small, at the most open apertures. The compromise? make use of the electronic rangefinder of modern camera bodies or easily calculate the hyperfocal thanks to the notches of the pdc marked on the tube or, in extreme, take two slightly staggered photos of the same subject ... On my Nikon D810, this lens communicates perfectly both for the adjustment of the apertures from the camera body, both for the transmission of exif data and also for the confirmation dot of the m.a.f. The lens is really important with its 111mm in length, 660 gr in weight and the front lens with 77mm filter. This is due to its complex optical scheme that includes 12 lenses (1 asf. and 2 high refr.) in 10 groups. The diaphragm varies from f.1,4 up to f.22, counts 8 lamellae and can be adjusted to 1/2 jerky steps. The minimum focusing distance is 30 cm, while infinity is after 3 meters. The barrel, well rubberized, measures 83 mm and makes a total excursion of 145 °. The dimensions increase even more when the bulky (but effective) hood is mounted, which fortunately can also be reassembled inverted. Two things are to be emphasized: the "buttery" rotation and without games of the barrel of m.a.f. and the three-dimensionality of the images (you notice it as soon as you frame). As always done, I will publish images without posts, but only converted from RAW to full resolution to JPEG with Nikon's Capture NX-D program. As for the Sharpness we have good results in the center already from F1.4 that improve significantly to f2 and find the maximum in the center at f3.2 and on the whole frame from f.4 up to f.5.6 . It is useless to close further if you do not need a greater p.d.c. The colors are excellent with a good micro-contrast and a slight tendency to warm tones. There are important chromatic aberrations (mainly magenta) especially on very reflective subjects and especially at the most open diaphragms and there is a slight barrel distortion. Note apart from the Bokeh that I find beautiful up to 5.6 and a bit '"crowded" by f.8, then obviously also depends on the subjects and their distance from the focused point ... The vignetting is noticeable up to f2.2 and then becomes negligible already from f.2.8. In summary I found this objective very valid even with some "mole" that can be removed with an adequate post-production especially in relation to its truly "popular" cost and also for the impeccable mechanical construction. |
| sent on 06 Novembre 2021 Pros: Aperture bezel, f/1.4 aperture Cons: Lack of autofocus and stabilizer Opinion: I took this lens to make macro photos (mounted in reverse) and some photos with a blurry and fast shutter speed. So for the use I make of it I am more than satisfied and I would immediately make the purchase. In addition, the expenditure has been contained. Obviously for a more complete use, I would have preferred autofocus and stabilizer and probably I would have turned elsewhere, even spending more. In my opinion, as almost always happens, there is no absolute best product, but the most suitable for your needs. |
| sent on 27 Settembre 2020 Pros: Sharpness, blurry, railing comfort, size, value for money, build quality Cons: Weight Opinion: Unlike others I do not consider the size of the lens bulky (despite the weight). The generous focus ring is in fact the most comfortable you can mock, it flows slowly and allows you to better select the fire. The diaphragm ring is also comfortable and in the right position. The images he churns out are very sharp (even at full aperture), with pleasant colors; and you can have a good time with the bokeh. But it is not a lens for everyone. The absence of autofocus is both good and bad. He taught me a lot and I would recommend it to those who want to learn and be patient to sweat excellent results (for those who need quick shots I would suggest the sigma 35 art, but the price rises). I applaud the build quality. Mainly used on aps-c. |
| sent on 28 Dicembre 2018 Pros: Sharpness, pleasant blur, soft focus, price, solidity Cons: Lacks autofocus Opinion: This lens I really like though compared to the Sigma 35 art loses on all fronts, apart from the build quality in which it is probably better this. What about it? For what costs them all worth, I was amazed by the personality, has something indefinable that makes it enjoyable. At the manual kelp you get used to it right away and with Oppurtuno adapter ring can also be used on mirrorless having control over the mechanical diaphragms. |
| sent on 09 Novembre 2018 Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, chromatic rendition (rather warm tones), fluid ring, value for money, robustness Cons: Non-tropicalized Opinion: Hi all, it's my first review... I used this lens until recently on Nikon both APS-C and Full Frame with great results, until one evening, for a mere distraction I fell. From there the Calvary, in fact having bought it used I did not have any support for repair. Despite clothes in the area of Turin. Fowa or to better say LTR does the repairs only to the targets sold by them and they absolutely refuse to provide the components for repair. The photoriparators just hear about Samyang rightly say they do not have spare parts and therefore can not do the maintenance. Even from the parent company in Korea they cannot directly ship the components (road attempted). So to conclude that say: This is a very good optics with excellent quality from the standpoint of performance cost, but consider that the repair is difficult or better to say impossible. Thank you |
| sent on 09 Maggio 2016 Pros: Detail / sharpness, contrast, bokeh, ergonomics, manual focus, cost / performance ratio, resistance to flare, chromatic content Cons: fixing ring hood and filters, dimensions, weight, not weather sealed Opinion: Despite other opinions, which shows the subjectivity of some factors, I find that the adoption of a focusing system manual focus emphasizes the pleasure of use and better the end result. The focal length of 35mm, moreover, are still unable to cope well even in manual thanks to a generous and precise focus ring fuoco.rnLa mechanical construction is good but I find questionable quality (plastic ring) located on the main body where it is applied to the lens hood and the inner edge which is screwed a possible filtro.rnQuesta "crown" is not too strong and the plastic tends to flex when put under pressure, may create some difficulties in the hood locking phases and my case has created some small discounts when screwing on the UV filter (but nothing as "striking"). rnDettaglio and sharpness are very good already just one stop away from F1.4, a value that has a blurred pasty and natural without create a great loss of detail on sog |
| sent on 08 Marzo 2016 Pros: Sharpness already in TA but monstrous to f2.8. fluid and larger ring sense of strength of materials Cons: Hood a bit 'awkward to assemble, weight and size, lack of weather sealing. Of course, manual focus, but it is intrinsic Opinion: Objective of the best on the market as the price quality, just look at the reviews and comparative analysis techniques. Many compare him to the brothers, perhaps in an exaggerated but a truth bottom there. Extraordinary feeling of sturdiness and good the ring of focus that is very fluid. Obviously it has all the defects of a manual focus but it is a matter of habit. The hood must be stuck for good because it tends to do a little 'game. Overall a very good lens |
| sent on 26 Agosto 2015 Pros: sharpness, contrast, brightness Cons: diameter filters and lens hood space Opinion: 1 |
| sent on 02 Giugno 2015 Pros: Sharpness, Blurry, Price Cons: Construction, MF ring not very accurate, F / B Focus Opinion: An excellent goal, has nothing to envy to the most noble optically Sigma, Nikon and Zeiss. F2 by a knife, a very sharp 1.4 with a blurred exciting ... As long as you manage to focus! Unfortunately the general construction and especially the ring of focus leaves something 'to be desired, has a little' game and feels, it's certainly not as fluid as the Zeiss. Also my original (and many others apparently) suffered heavily front focus, even with the correction to +20 resulted not perfect, if I wanted to center the fire had to necessarily use the LV. We say that with the money that has now reached the Sigma 35 Art not recommend buying this Samyang in favor of Sigma, certainly better in every respect besides autofocus. |
| sent on 19 Maggio 2015 Pros: sharpness, manual focus, focus confirmation and registration data exif, construction, strength, color, brightness Cons: for now I have not found Opinion: bought this lens for manual focus and manual diaphragm on canon but just arrived, I realized that Samyang has made improvements, has the chip that allows you to control the aperture of the car and records the shooting data, also by confirmation of focus, something that I have the Samyang 14mm f2.8 .I told him I wanted to do with manual diaphragm timelapse and around the flickering effect without always disconnect contacts turning the lens of a minimum necessary, but okay I'm satisfied the same .rnusata of 5d mark3 mark3 1d and I must say it has a superb sharpness, stopping down to a couple of stop the edges are well ntidi, which at 1.4, as most of the lenses wide open, slightly blurs. virtually no distortion, vignetting not found, whereas I shot 16 with stop filtro.rnConcludendo I must say that if this continues Samyang with the quality of its lenses we will see beautiful in the coming years, perhaps even with autofocus:) rn |
| sent on 15 Ottobre 2014 Pros: sharpness construction luminosta ' Cons: weight ,,, manual focus ,, but I knew .. Opinion: I took this lens pper have a fixed 35 ... well already from the first shots showed a certain cloth with excellent sharpness wide open .. it is a bit heavy and bulky but denotes its solid construction and a sturdy wagon .. armed .. after becoming acquainted with focuse on hand (which, however, by a certain satisfaction for fluidity 'and precision) is a lens that can give satisfaction with a quality price ratio alltissimo' whereas 35mm autofocus are also more or less the same price .. but here we are one step further ..not bear comparison with optical emblazoned blurred .. bright .. very interesting .. used on FF a nice toy |
| sent on 24 Maggio 2014 Pros: Sharpness, diaphragm, strength and material. Cons: Weight, Manual Focus Opinion: I take photos for a short time and I have not yet big skill. I wanted to try this lens sinning perhaps arrogance and underestimating the difficulty of the focus in the manual. However I have used this lens in a time when I had other targets available, and it was really very difficult. On the other hand I got to test my abilities to 35mm cameras (on the right) and to appreciate the strong sharpness of this view, especially between 4 and 6 of the diaphragm. Highly recommended but only to those who photograph well in hand and who has the time to manage the installation and try several times. |
| sent on 08 Febbraio 2013 Pros: Great monolith, excellent construction gives a solid feel monstrous. Sharpness already at RT considerable. It is also compatible with many of the old f-mount analog. Cons: First, the case, I'd just put it in Samyang would avoid. Maybe a little pesantuccio (also nikkor 1.4 xo no joke). The lack of AF do not think is a big problem, as long as you take me chippata version. Some problems with the infinity working under f 3.5. Opinion: Always faithful to this focal length I decided to evolve from nikkor 35mm 1.8 g to this. Great buy. I think it's a knife, perfect for portraits, exploited almost like a macro in some cases. Some problems with the focus to infinity. In summary I think as a lens to be understood, and there is some time to get used to it. Either you love it or you hate it, I find I have to take fantastica.rnSe hurry xke now FOWA which will distribute them to raise prices |
| sent on 10 Dicembre 2012 Pros: sharpness, construction, movement ring, handling, colors, blurred. Cons: aberrations purple areas backlight pushed some flare with a lens space, time to get familiar with the selection system partitions (a bit hidden behind the lens), with my car (550d) exposure varies between eye and lw Opinion: excellent lens after all, as soon as you become more familiar with it gives great shots, very sharp and well contrasted since the widest apertures. file gives very workable and pleasant colors and blurred. is a little bulky, but well built and very sturdy. good feeling with the focus ring, not with that of diaframmi.rnil price is very meet photographers like me who want to work at those focal lengths and apertures without spending a fortune on professional lenses, and the results are excellent though. |
| sent on 27 Maggio 2012 Pros: Grand opening, great focus, mechanically flawless Cons: It is not autofocus - but it's a Cons? Opinion: I've used it with great pleasure for a month and gave me great emotions. For those coming from analogue prehistoric goals that used strictly manual ... is a return to the past! So is gorgeous. Given the cost, you have to accept the compromises he has. The focus is fast and easy using the Live View. Recommended, but only for those who want the objectives fixed. I would say that is a specialty for connoisseurs only |
| sent on 20 Marzo 2012 Pros: Objective sharp, color-correct (aberrations virtually absent), well built (the movement of the focus ring is the best I've ever tried), bright, good bokeh, good value on full frame, ideal for those who make videos (where use predominantly targets in manual). Cons: Optical completely manual, it records the opening in the EXIF ??data, less convenient format aps-c. Opinion: I needed a bright lens to be used mainly for my video with the Canon 5D MII and could not have come better choice, € 400 for a 35mm f1.4 are very few, especially if we consider that the optical characteristics of this lens are really comparable and in some respects better, other L-series lenses that I own. The sharpness is excellent at all apertures, chromatic aberrations are virtually absent and the construction is really well done, the pleasantness of the movement of the focus ring is spectacular (and it is more than any other lens I have ever tried, including L series) and the bokeh is good. In photography are all points for which I have just described with the understanding, however, that perspective is totally manual and as a result there is an obligation to use it with liveview to get a precise focus. Last but not least, it is extremely convenient with a view on full frame 35 mm which are much more usable for 56mm APS-c (400 € for a 35mm f1.4 manual but even if these features are a bargain, 56 mm are less so). |
