I bought this lens in January of 2022, and it stayed on my A74 until December of 2022. It was a great lens! Coming from the Canon RP paired with the Samyang 85 1.4, this lens with the A74 auto focus was spectacular! A night and day difference!My favorite quality I loved about this lens is the lens flare. There is something magical about it. But, shooting into the sun can cause a green ghost flare. This lens will still be in my kit for black & white photography and for my 2nd camera body.

I have read nothing but good reviews about this lens and I was especially intrigued by the astrophotography function. My initial impression was very positive with regards to Fit Form and Function and the quality feel. However, the copy of lens I received was soft, even in the center at f/1.8 which is claimed to be very sharp. As a matter of fact some reviews claim the lens is very sharp across the frame at f/1.8, but certainly not the copy I obtained. To make things worst, the lens is so de-centered that I think it may even be defective. One thing I have learned: It appears that websites that perform reviews get a selected, very good copy to the reviewer, but we might end up with a bad copy. Yes, the lens is reasonably priced, and if it were as promised, you would ... MoreI have read nothing but good reviews about this lens and I was especially intrigued by the astrophotography function.

I bought this lens for my new Sony A7iv and I love it. I upgraded from Sony a6000 and didn't have a full frame 24mm lens to use for astro photography. This lens is very sharp. I love the astro feature to set it instantly to infinity focus. Saves about 5-10 minutes of focusing workflow in the field. The autofocus is also fast and useful as a street photography lens or for landscapes.

Bought this used, 10 Good as new, on B&H for a great price.Got it and sure enough like new, retail box included, etc. Tested it out immediately and quickly determined it to be a keeper. Surprisingy fast AF and Quiet! Very sharp wide open, particulary in the center, with the edges being a bit soft as expected. Stopped down to f4, 5.6, and gets noticeably better on the edges and very sharp in the middle still. Really nice and light too. Custom switch is nice to adjust aperture or switch to manual focus. Anyway, at about a third the cost of Sony's FE 35mm f1.8, I highly recommend this Samsung AF lens. Come on Sony, you can do better pricing on a standard F1.8 lens. Do it!
I was adapting a Canon 35mm F1.4L onto my Sony A7R IV, and this lens is sharper than that combination, plus way smaller and lighter. Love it. I've been shooting it mostly at F2 and found I needed to use a smaller focusing point for accurate focus. Eye Focus is accurate. I didn't bother buying a UV or Protective Filter for the front, I just figured I'd buy a whole new lens at this price point if something happens. I did however, buy a polarizing filter and ND filter. I also bought the Lens Station for updating firmware and doing fine adjustments, but this lens copy didn't need any.
I'm a big fan of these Samyang tiny series lenses, in fact they're part of what convinced me to invest in the Sony full frame system. I started with the 18mm 2.8, then the 35mm 1.8 now this 24mm 1.8. Each new lens of theirs seems to be progressively better. The 18mm provides a fun field of view and decent sharpness, the 35mm added weather sealing and a faster aperture to the table, and now the 24mm adds close focusing which I missed in the 35mm.I take a lot of pictures of kids and pets around the house. 24mm lets me get a lot of shots around the table, while playing with the kids and so on that the 35mm requires me to back up a bit for. F/1.8 is fast enough for indoor lighting conditions.I think the combination of F/1.8 with decent close focusing is going to be ... MoreI'm a big fan of these Samyang tiny series lenses, in fact they're part of what convinced me to invest in the Sony full frame system.

F/1.8 is fast enough for indoor lighting conditions.I think the combination of F/1.8 with decent close focusing is going to be a game changer, allowing me to get nice environmental portraits of smaller subjects. Sure, just like with the 35mm Samyang, the bokeh isn't always the creamiest, but I think it's passable and it's a tradeoff I can live with for the small size and price of this lens.
I love the infinity focus. I love the light weight. The stars are sharp, but there is a lot of coma on my Sony A7iv H-alpha modified. It is an art to get it gone in LR or CR and there are still artifacts.(I did not have coma like this on a straight up Sony A7iii. In fact it was sweet as candy. If you shoot a normal Sony I recommend it with no hesitation.)Still, when I reach into the bag for a 24mm, this or the Sony GM, I want to grab this one because the focus feature is just plain amazing and it is so light on my tracker and in my bag.
In late December last year I received the new Sony a7IV with 28-70 kit lens, and headed off with the family on vacation. On returning home, I discovered my uploaded vacation photos lacked the sharpness in the corners and along the edges that I expected. I ordered this lens, and B&H got it to me in two days. The photos I captured with this lens were surprisingly sharp from corner to corner SOC. The a7IV works great with this lens, focusses fast and accurately, and supports camera features like Clear Image Zoom, and APS-c zoom. The f/1.8 aperture supplies pleasing bokeh even up to f/5.6 and perhaps higher. The lens is so sharp that even the zoomed images look sharp.
I have generally believed as a matter of principle that you get pretty. much what you pay for. But I really wanted a 24mm prime and money was tight. So I decided to give this lens a try. I also knew that if the lens did not meet my expectations, I could take advantage of B&H Photo's excellent return policies.After getting this lens I immediately went out and tested it for sharpness and centering. Two issues I was not confident would be up to my expectations. WOW! This lens is awesome! Sharp? Check! Centered? Check! Small and Light? Check! Quality exceeds expectations? Check, Check, Check! This lens is a definite keeper. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. If you are looking for a great 24mm prime for your Sony mirrorless camera, GET IT!
I wanted a compact lens that would be easier to handle than the Sigma Art series lenses I'm used to. I was skeptical that a lens at this price point could be a worthy addition to my collection, but it's definitely pulling its weight. It seems the reviews I watched on YouTube weren't lying. I love shooting with this little guy and I'm happy with the results. Excellent value!
