Review on πŸ“· Samyang SY35M-C 35mm F1.4 Fixed Lens for Canon Black - High Quality, Versatile Canon Lens with F1.4 Aperture by Ashley Janney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This lens is definitely a great achievement. Feel free to use manual focus

I just have to say that with the right use of this lens you can get amazing results. If you don't need autofocus, this lens is definitely a good choice. Don't be afraid to use manual focus, it gets easier with practice; I actually find it quite pleasant. It's very sharp from f/4 to f/10 and not bad at apertures larger than f/4. The build quality is extremely solid and the focus ring is well dampened. Just look at the weight of this thing and you'll see what I'm talking about. Thanks to the high-quality plastic housing, it sits comfortably in the hand; it does NOT feel cheap, but rather suggests a higher price. In summary, when used properly, this is a great everyday lens. If you understand and work around the limitations of this lens, you can take great photos.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
