Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC (EOS) - Full Format Format Review / Test Report

 

Samyang continues to surprise us regarding the quality of their recently released products. The full format Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC is capable of delivering a very high quality straight from f/1.4. The contrast level is a bit reduced at max. aperture...

Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC

 

A fully-manual prime lens with a fast aperture at a bargain price

Bright aperture, build quality

Weak performance at wide aperture

Overall it is very difficult to characterise this lens. It is certainly a specialist optic on account of being manual-only, but it also looks and feels great. It's a bit heavy but you are getting an ultra-bright f/1.4 maximum aperture and...

Samyang 35 mm f/1.4 AS UMC

 

Full frame 35 mm lenses with f/1.4 aperture are very interesting and important photographic devices. You can say they are as important as 1.4/50 class standards – but definitely less popular. Why are they so important and interesting then? Mainly...

Samyang 35mm f/1.4 (a. k.a. Rokinon, ProOptic or Bower)

 

The Samyang 35mm f/1.4 is a manual-focus-only lens. It's amazingly sharper at f/1.4 than any other Nikon 35mm lens, including the Nikon 35mm f/1.4 G that costs over three times as much, but only if you know how to use it .
