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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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).
