Opinion:Despite the conflicting opinions I bought it to match the A7C. I reserve the right to express a reasoned opinion after some use in various situations. What leaves me perplexed, more than anything else in terms of curiosity is the lack of the vaunted parafocality, of which there are demonstrations in videos on YouTube, some very well cared for. Maybe you get it electronically through a firmware update? It should be an optical feature. Has anyone tried using the dedicated dock station? I found the answer Parafocality works electronically in video with manual focus *Par-Focal function is electronically controlled in MF Video shooting mode. From the official Samyang Optics website.
Cons:weight, sharpness at edges, image quality at maximum focal length
Opinion:Tried for a few days and returned, I already own the Sony 24-105 f4 and at the Image Quality level the Samyang does not stand comparison, neither in the center nor at the edges. It is sharp in the center at 24mm even at F/2.8 but decreases progressively from 40 to 70mm. It also has a visible AC especially at the edges and in strong contrasts while with the flare it does well. As for the AF I did not find any problems with the A7iV. Quite fast and accurate in focusing, even on the move. Granite construction, it is really heavy and if you use for a long time the neck is felt. Good sliding of the rings. Let's say that if you need a zoom f2.8 for indoor events etc. and the budget is limited it can be a solution, work is taken home ... even if there is some compromise to be accepted. However, we must consider that with the same expense or a little more there are more valid alternatives (Tamron 28-75 G2 and Sigma 24-70 art) and, in my opinion, it is better to evaluate the thing well.
Opinion:Never had a 24-70 f 2.8 lens, so I can not make a comparison with other lenses of the same class, but I would say that for the cost and for the type of photo I decided to take with this lens I am satisfied, it has a good blur and a good yield on the subject, the zoom ring is fluid enough not to create jams during the excursion, and despite not having a lock button does not come out by itself while the lens is hanging around the neck, a real defect that I found is the weight, after a day of work with the machine hanging around the neck the fatigue is felt, for the rest it will not be the best optics that there is without any doubt, but it is not even to be thrown away, for a non-professional use I think it is more than adequate
Opinion:A lens that I would define more than honest and valid, obviously in relation to the price (around 900 euros). If compared with the counterparts of other brands you immediately notice the worst image quality, to be understood at full aperture: 24-35mm are more than decent, but from 40 to 70mm the softness of the image is evident. Also compared with the old (so to speak) Canon EF 24-70/2.8 II and the difference is obvious. Closing the diaphragm, of course, the differences flatten out a lot and the image appears of excellent quality. Neutral colors, maybe a little cold. Silent and fast autofocus. Important weight. Its biggest advantage is the cost. Lens advertised as parafocal, in fact it is not: during the zoom, the image blurs and is refocused by the electronics that try to keep up. If you can take at least one Sigma Art... Otherwise if your budget is really tight, this lens can be for you... net of a lower IQ.
