I have this lens for the canon eos r and I was so bummed cuz I wasn’t getting as clear images as you are getting here! But I bumped up my shutter speed and made sure to move my focus over on the spots I wanted focus (stopped using center focus) and man gripped the lens lol and now I’m getting much better images! I thought I had a faulty lens but no I’m the one that’s faulty. Thank you for all your amazing videos and tips!
I hit the like button even before watching it. I waited for this review so much because I plan on buying the Samyang 85mm f1.4 so thank you so much, Julia! Gorgeous photos, by the way.
I think I really loved the photos you did sitting in front of the flowers and also the photos that were backlit where you got the sun flares in your photos 😍😍😍
The Sigma is better in image quality and autofocus speed/accuracy. But costs more. I find that the Samyang struggles to perfectly nail focus on my A7R IV and I have to take like 3-4 photos while leaning a little forward and backward to get one perfect shot.
Yess I would love to do that too! I've yet to try the new Sigma 85, but I've heard some great things so it would be interesting to see how they compare
Thank you!! I've been meaning to make one for ages, your email helped push me along hehe I hope you enjoy it!! I can't wait to use it again soon for another shoot
Just found your channel and am super impressed. Photos are spot on, your demeanor is absolutely lovely, and your content and comments are solid. Looking forward to diving in!
This helped me out a ton! I have been thinking about getting that lens! I love the flare on it! Golden hour is my all time favorite 🤩 All those photos you took are gorgeous! Love this video!
This shoot was amazing, missing Spring so bad here in The States! Would love a comparison between the Samyang 85 mm f1.4 and the Samyang 75 mm f1.8 to see what the trade-off between lens size and image quality is!!!
I am between this lens and Sigma 85mm 1.4 art dg. In comparisons the Sigma has better micro contrast similar to GM but in real life practice the Rokinon is still sharp just a bit warmer with prominent flare. Might still go with the sgima but i really like the rokinon for some reason
I love my Samyang lenses.. the rendering is beautiful for what we do .. I have the 85 & 45 ..Just tried out the 75mm F1.8 also..thats very nice.. hope to get the 35mm very soon ..so would be great to see your favourite focal length of 35mm... the 45 is a very interesting focal length which I really like too .. beautiful images my fave was 1:28
I now have Samyang FE 50 1.4 II, 85 1.4 (second hand), and 135 1.8 AF which are great with price, AF, and quality ratio = 50 1.2GM (Of course this is the best of 50 1.2 ever in my opinion) with USD 164 change.
Great photos! Such a cool location too! The Samyang seems like a really great alternate to other 85s, and the image quality seems extremely close! Watched another video a while back comparing the Samyang head to head, and it did really well :) 85 is one of my favourite lenses - I got a 1.2 DS on sale, and really love the unique / soft bokeh! It doesn’t let in as much light (closer to f 1.8/f2) but it’ actually makes it more usable wide open in strong daylight! The EF would sometimes still be overexposing at 1/8000 and 100 ISO at 1.2, (I guess a filter could help, but sometimes it feels like throwing away quality anyway unless it’s a really high grade filter 😞 )
Superb shots & photos too Julia..I wish I could get to see a side by side comparison of AF speed colour reproduction & sharpness between Sony 85mm GM & Samyang 85mm f1.4 .. It would be really helpful for my next purchase.. thanks Julia in advance @Julia Trotti
Samyang make lately some Best Buy lens. The only thing I don’t like from my 85mm is that yellow/orange tint and sometimes the strong flare but you can live with it at 1/3 the price vs Sony gm
Again great video Julia :) when you shoot backlight and underexpose it - what are your settings with eye af on "Metering Mode" (Multi....?) and "Spot Metering Point" (Focus Point Link...?)? That would help me a lot :)
Samyang 's are very under rated. Knowledge makes photographs, not equipment. You have skills & please move into video. I see a director inside clawing to get noticed.
This was a stunning photoshoot. Absolutely loved the lighting, location, posing, etc. The lens looks like just amazing bang for the buck, and I think I'll be getting it!! 🙂 Quick question: Do you go to Photoshop to edit the skin, after applying your Fall Lightroom preset? Thank you!
Hi Julia, This looked good fun and good to know that one doesn’t have to spend so much for a good quality lens. I assume different make cameras produce slightly different colour photos. Just for interest do your (Julia’s) presets have to be different for different make cameras I.e. Canon vs Nikon to produce the same results? Keep up the fun times!
Thank you! Luckily I have lots of raw files from a bunch of different cameras that I use to test all my presets on, so they should work on anything. Mostly the only thing that would need to be adjusted is white balance and exposure depending on where and how the photo was taken. If you’re unsure you can always email me, I’m happy to help!
Are you using a wireless HDMI transmitter to send data to the Atomos? If so, can you tell me what brand you recommend, what your experience is, and maybe a video on the setup?
Would You recommend buying Samyang 85mm f1.4 and 35mm f1.4 as a good set for portraits and elopements? I know that g-master would be best but I'm looking for a compromise between quality and price :)

Love that small screen of what you actually see through the lens!!
I’d like to see the Samyang 35 f1.4 next and see which lens you like better between the 85 & 35. Thanks Julia.
Yes... Please... 🙏😀🙏
they are different focal lengths cant be compared
Yes...plzz
I believe she prefers the 35mm focal length, so my money’s on that one 😁
Sounds good! I think that's the one I want to shoot the most as well :D
That beautiful smile & positivity is reason I am watching this review videos more than others.
I have this lens for the canon eos r and I was so bummed cuz I wasn’t getting as clear images as you are getting here!

So love her hair and she really lights up when she smiles. Love you shoots with Jayde!
Thank You so much Julia! i was waiting for the longest when you'll be reviewing Samyang 85 1.4 on your channel !
Yay I’m glad you liked it!! I’ll have a few more Samyang videos soon too :D
@@juliatrotti that would be great !
I paid $400 for the 85 and $300 for the 35. I’m okay with a lens without an aperture ring and a few rarely used buttons. Optics are 95% of the GM.
was $400 the used price or did you find it on sale? that's a great price!
It was unused in the box from a private seller. It’s cheaper now!
Paid 100$ for my
Samyang 85mm F1.4 Aspherical IF...realy plesed..
@@dandanu2526
Autofocus?
@@keystonebrotherb Manual version.
I think I really loved the photos you did sitting in front of the flowers and also the photos that were backlit where you got the sun flares in your photos 😍😍😍
Thank you so much :D
Best 85mm lens in Sony system in my opinion. I suggest you to try Samyang 45mm 1.8 - its unbelievable how good it is for the price and size
I‘d loooove to see a comparison between the Sigma art 85 and the samyang 85 as well as both of the 35mm lenses. I’m currently trying to decide 🥰
85mm Sigma is really good plus the build quality.
Although I don't think you can go wrong with Samyang.
The Sigma is better in image quality and autofocus speed/accuracy. But costs more.
I find that the Samyang struggles to perfectly nail focus on my A7R IV and I have to take like 3-4 photos while leaning a little forward and backward to get one perfect shot.
Yess I would love to do that too! I've yet to try the new Sigma 85, but I've heard some great things so it would be interesting to see how they compare
@@SONYAdicto Do you have the sigma?
This was one was my first lens for my Sony a7iii and I am so happy with it.
I bought the a7iii after watching your videos and I really love this camera!! ✨
girl i love your behind scenes of photoshoots like, you are amazing at portrait phototgraphy in natural light.
Thank you so much!
Comparison between the Samyang 35 f1.4 and the Sony and Sigma 35mm lenses would be cool!
That would be such a fun comparison!! I'll try to work on that :D
I just ordered the Canon RF mount version of this lens. Nice to see it in action. I LOVE your images!
Thank you and ooh I would love to try some Samyang glass out on Canon too!
So glad you got around to filming this video! I would love to see the 35mm & the 50mm 1.4 if you have that one as well 😁
Thank you so much and I do have those lended at the moment too!
@@juliatrotti Awesome! Would love to hear your thoughts on them
I can tell that Julia and the model are definitely fun to work with. The photos are amazing as well as the Samyang Lens.
Thank you!! Yeah Jayde makes any photoshoot super fun, I love just running around haha
I've had this lens for 2 years and it works great. I just couldn't justify spending 2K on a Sony G master. Don't sleep on this lens
Yay I loved it!!! Thank you for making the Fall preset for lightroom! I’ll be buying that soon! ❤️
Thank you!! I've been meaning to make one for ages, your email helped push me along hehe I hope you enjoy it!! I can't wait to use it again soon for another shoot
Aww I am so glad to hear it! It is a great preset!! 😏 You surely have a knack for making beautiful stuff!
@@juliatrotti whats the fps on it for sony a1?
You rule. Finally someone who did lens review right! I'm SOLD!!! A+
Just found your channel and am super impressed. Photos are spot on, your demeanor is absolutely lovely, and your content and comments are solid. Looking forward to diving in!

Thank you! And yeah that would be a really interesting comparison, I'll see if I can borrow both of them
Buy the Samyang FE 85mm 1.4 AF for better image quality. If you must save weight and image quality is not your priority, then 75mm 1.8 be it.
I am between this lens and Sigma 85mm 1.4 art dg. In comparisons the Sigma has better micro contrast similar to GM but in real life practice the Rokinon is still sharp just a bit warmer with prominent flare. Might still go with the sgima but i really like the rokinon for some reason
I still haven’t tried the new Sigma 85 - would love to take that for a spin when I can too!
Beautiful photos and bts video. Love it, proves once again photographer skills matters over gear.
« I love flowers, I love spring », yeah right, we’re entering winter in Europe so that statement felt weird. 😅
Ahaha the joys of the other side of the world :P
I love my Samyang lenses.. the rendering is beautiful for what we do ..

Samyang lenses are definitely underrated!! and waaay cheaper than others
I agree, they are great quality!

These are really stunning shots Julia!
Thank you so much!
Great "Behind the scenes" photoshoot with awesome Jayde, thanks a lot Julia. Samyang 85mm 1.4 seems better portrait lens in low/mid budget segment.
Everything I've researched today you had a video for it. Thank you!!!
What an amazing shoot!! Everytime you release a new video, you make me want to go out and buy that lens. Or camera. Or both!! Stop it!! 😜
Ahaha thank you so much!
I really love your fall preset. It gives a very nice character to the pictures. These brownish and beige kind of tones are so yummy! 😊 😃 Good job!
Thank you so much!

Thank you for the video Julia!! Just got my lens today so excited to try this out!
Loved this shoot. Thank you Julia
Awesome vid as usual Julia! A vid on the Sammy 70mm f1.8 would be cool :) (would be cool if you did a vid on the Viltrox 85mm f1.8 as well!)
Thank you and I'll see if I can borrow it, there have been a few requests for that lens :)
I really love your consistencies in your work! 💖
It'd be great to see you try out the Sigma 105mm 1.4 lens.
Those lens flare shots are everything! 😍
Ahhh I know right, they are so pretty!!
Yours photos very beautiful
Thank you so much sister for sharing this video. I love your content ❤
Superb shots & photos too Julia..I wish I could get to see a side by side comparison of AF speed colour reproduction & sharpness between Sony 85mm GM & Samyang 85mm f1.4 .. It would be really helpful for my next purchase.. thanks Julia in advance @Julia Trotti
Can you please make a video on the recently released mark II of this lens. Love all your videos 🥰♥️
Beautiful video Julia
Great video! The images were great as always.
Samyang make lately some Best Buy lens. The only thing I don’t like from my 85mm is that yellow/orange tint and sometimes the strong flare but you can live with it at 1/3 the price vs Sony gm
That's lens looks great Julia. Never thought that's also a good lens the samyang brand. Love it!
Yessss! I just bought this lens bit haven't even used it. Heard amazing things about it! 🤩🤩🤩
FYI! It's auto focus is really suck if you pair it with Sony A7ii, unless you update the firmware.
How do you record the A7iii's screen? I've watched several of your videos and visited your blog but none the wiser!
She’s using some sort of HDMI out capture card that’s minted under the camera
@@TheWeddingGuest. cool
i would love to see more with the Samyang 24 mm! i don't know if i should get it for my a6400 :) btw i love the vid!
Gorgeous as always. :)
Hi! Beautiful photos! Good lens. And this place is so magical. Where is it here in Sydney? ;)
I want to see more videos with the Samyang 85mm with more bokeh! :)
Beautiful photos 🤩
I loved this video🙌🏼😃, did your before and after are with photoshop post processing or just Lightroom with your presets?
Hi Julia, love the shoot!! Where in Sydney was this shot🤔
So far i am enjoying your videos
I love this flower video! All pictures are pretty!
Thank you!
I would like to see Samyang 35mm FE F1.8 and if you have the 45 FE that would be nice to see as well. Thanks for asking.
Amazing photos n amazing video 😍😍😍😍😍😍👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
My favorite ones are the poses when she is smiling :)
Got this lens just before -- thank you for showing your 'seeing' with it.
I try to secretly learn from your framing by wachting everything ... ; ]
Again great video Julia :) when you shoot backlight and underexpose it - what are your settings with eye af on "Metering Mode" (Multi....?) and "Spot Metering Point" (Focus Point Link...?)? That would help me a lot :)
soooo beautiful photos
I'm so jealous 🥰
You should make a pack with all your presets.. Annoying to buy one each, I basically won't do that. Just make a bundle and tell me when you have.
Maybe you've got a good copy. I've seen many photos using this lens at 1.4 and they are soft.
Great video! What do you use to record your camera screen?
i would love to see you do a video about the atamos ninja
love your videos. keep up with the content
I like the Viltrox 85mm 1.8. It's affordable, pin sharp and super fast. Would love to see your opinion.
I’d love to try it out sometime too :D
As usual, awesome video! Werq!
Stunning. Love this 👌👌👌👌👌
Samyang 's are very under rated. Knowledge makes photographs, not equipment. You have skills & please move into video. I see a director inside clawing to get noticed.
Hi sis superb pics😉. definitely I'm try this one 😁 LOVE YOU 😘
Julia, can you make such a great session with Samyang 75 1.8? I wonder how what you could make with that lens :)
A softbox would help a lot in backlit situations.
Great video❤❤.... If you can, please do the review of samyang 35 1.8 fe
very beautiful photos
Thank you! 😄
This was a stunning photoshoot. Absolutely loved the lighting, location, posing, etc. The lens looks like just amazing bang for the buck, and I think I'll be getting it!! 🙂
Quick question: Do you go to Photoshop to edit the skin, after applying your Fall Lightroom preset? Thank you!
looks like frequency separation was used on the headshots
Great video as always, how did this lens compare in sharpness and focus speed to the Sony 85mm? I would love to see a video on Sony 35mm 1.8.
I'd like to the samyang 35mm 1.4. I own one but I just want to be inspired!
Hi, Can you please tell what you are using for EVF recording heres ,seems very handy and portable
Amazing photography 👍❤

Julia, what are you using via HDMI to record your EVF? Can anyone else please tell me?
Same question... It was way too small to be an Atomos Ninja V.
@@JayceG Yeah I totally agree! Anyone got any ideas?
@@ankitj762 It was bugging me... so I figured it out: Accsoon CineEye wireless hdmi transmission... then you can record on a phone or atomos.
@@JayceG Oh wow thanks man. I'll look into it!
8:20 👌 couse of the smile 🙂
Thank you very much for this interesting video!
Love you work 😍😍
Hi Julia, how do you record and take photos at same time on Sony a7iii?
Thank you
Dope!!!what are u using to record the view finder
love your work!!
Thank you :)
So pretty! Where is the romper from ? It's so cute!!
Thank you! It’s from Rowie the label :)

Would love a Samyang 35mm review. This was great, thanks!
I'll have one coming really soon :)
@@juliatrotti I can’t wait!

Could you try the samyang 35mm 1.4 AF on your next video 🙏🏾😊😊
Amazing. I have the same camera & lens
