Big surprise: lenses

Great little lens for the A7iii. I bought it because of the good reviews and am very happy with it. The IQ is solid and the autofocus is fast. Just got back from vacation - got this and Tamron 28-75. I ended up recording 90% of the ride with this 24. Not so good for videos, but not too bad either. I'm glad I bought it!

  • DSLR lenses

Terrible delivery of camera and photo

The courier threw the lens over the fence and didn't even think to call the day of delivery.

It wasn't until a few weeks later that I realized something was wrong with the focal plane. I noticed that the axis of the lens is tilted. In the attached image you can see that the trees on the left side of the lens are sharp, but at the same time the trees on the…

The cost is high but I still expect it to work.

I needed a quick lens repair for my longer range A7Rii. The range is just great, but the lens only works halfway. I need a minimum aperture for focusing. As soon as I turn it on, the lens really starts howling (yes, howling noises) and there is just NO focusing. The photos look very good. Digital. Very pixelated. I contacted support but the options they gave me didn't work for me. I'm losing money on this lens and unfortunately won't be buying any Samyang or Rokinon products in the future…

Pros
  • Lens

  • Slightly torn

After careful research, still not what was expected.

The network is full of reviews and other information, mostly positive. While relatively cheap by today's standards, it's still an investment that needs to be carefully considered. Even after checking all of this information before purchasing and weighing my expectations, I am disappointed with what I received.1. Concealment: There is a lot of discussion about anti-glare and concealment. What I found is that the lens definitely diffuses front light where no lens hood can help. It doesn't take…
