Samyang 35mm f/1.4 Lens for Sony A Mount The Samyang 35mm f/1.4 prime lensis available for every major digital SLR ¹ manufacturer including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus and Pentax. Its fixed ³⁵mm focal length (⁵⁰mm on an APS-C sensor) is arguably the most versatile focal length in photography and is commonly used for street or portraitphotography. The wide f/¹.⁴ aperture is great for isolating your subject by beautifully blurring any distractions in the background and also helps maintain a usable shutter speed when shooting in low light scenarios. Similar to the days of earlySLR cameras, the Samyang requires manual focusing and aperture adjustment. Thankfully, the smooth action of the focus ring and ¹/²EV increments (except when stepping from f/¹.⁴ to f/².⁰) of the aperture ring make finding correct focus and exposure a breeze. Despite these two omissions, the build and optical quality of the lens is exceptional. Made from high quality plastics with a metal mount, the lens features ¹² glass elements in ¹⁰ groups including one asphericaland two high-refractive index elements. With outstanding edge to edge sharpness, beautiful out of focus rendition and true to life colour reproduction the Samyang ³⁵mm f/¹.⁴ prime lens represents excellent value for money. ¹ Vignetting may occur when used with full frame sensors.
