Great job with the video. Definitely the most in-depth video putting the lens through its paces. subscribed.
Thank you :)
I mostly watch your videos as they are fun and entertaining along with the knowledge sharing. I love how you guys adore and pull each others legs. I love everything about you two together, stay blessed!
Thank you. Your kind words really appreciated and yes, we are one heck of a crazy couple. :)
"At the meaning of life" - earned my subscription !! LOVE the videos.
thank you :)
Great Overview, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Seems like a versatile lens especially for portrait!
It is. I'd say this focal length range is one of the most versatile range out there for almost everything, but it's just the perfect range for portraits.
You guys are the best 😂 You work together extremely well. I really enjoyed your informative video. Ps. I am saving up to buy one 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾😀
I have recently bought this lens and love it. Only one question. You showed a prototype. When I measured how much space is available for the lens collar, you mentioned, it doesn't fit. The S135fe has an 18mm ring and the MC11 has 20 mm. I have only 12mm from where the lens body gets wider up to the orange ring on my A7m4. This means both won't fit.
What a cute review 🙃
Thank you! 🤗
I have the 24mm 1.8. Fantastic lens.
It's actually the ending that stood out to me.
It is heavy.
It doesn't matter how nice a lens is, if it strains you over time then you won't use it as much.
As someone who captures a lot for long periods. My lenses are each under a kg which helps.
So I'll check this out but damn. Then again it makes sense for such a focal length and aperture.
Exactly. It is borderline heavy. I think this could be a real tipping point for some people. I didn't found it too straining as long now and then I can just clip it on my backpack and have some rest, but if I'd have to shoot non stop for 1-2 hours with the lens I'd probably feel it. But if you have to shoot 1-2 hours non stop then probably you would not have much time to swap lenses, so the zoom range will come very very handy.
Exactly my struggle at the moment! Heaviest lens is around 750g right now. Really wanna keep it below 1kg as well, but the focal lenght range paired with 2.0-2.8 just sounds to good to not give it a try :D
Yes, I have their 24-70mm f2.8 lens and its the heaviest 24-70mm lens on the market by far (1027g) and it just makes me not wanna use it as much even though its a great lens.
I'm thinking of trading it in for a Tamron 28-75mm G2. I'm willing to sacrifice 4mm on the wide end just to get a smaller & lighter lens that I can feel comfortable with shooing.
I hope they come out with a smaller & (very) lighter 24-70mm. Mark II version would be really cool. I would by it in a heartbeat.
Hi, which of these two collars would you recommend for the Samyang?
The video footage is warm as you would expect in such light, but sample pictures are quite cold. I wonder if the coatings on the lens are causing the cold WB.
no it's not. That's just different colour grading between the photos and the video. With the final version we will do an in-depth review where colour accuracy will be tested too.
can u guys make comparison video with tamron 35-150 and samyang 35-150
If we can borrow one then definitely. Once the full version of the lens is with us we will look into options to get our hands on the Tamron :)
So looking forward to test that one. Really curious if the f2.8 will be sufficient for me specially at the 50-85mm range. The Samyang prime lenses are just so good at 50/85 with the f1.4, gonna be hard for the zoom to get close to that.
it won't be anywhere near as a prime at f1.4 :) f2.8 is 2 stops slower! But in return you get the ability to change focal length any time :)
@@holdmylenscap7241 With longer focal lenghts the difference get's less obvious in my opinion. I doubt that there's many people who will spot the difference straight away between a 135mm portrait taken at f1.8 and one taken at f2.8, if you don't put them next to each other.
Also in non extreme lighting conditions it's no problem at all for a modern camera to raise the ISO to make up for the 2 stops.
I am more concerned about the bokeh in wider focal lenghts like 50mm and below. But maybe the versatility makes up for that, specially on travels. We will see :)
true. I took a photo of our dog with my Olympus 45mm f1.8 on a MFT camera and Alyssa thought it was shot with FF and the new Samyang :)
I have an 500mm f8 lens, and the Depth of Field is so tiny with that lens like a portrait lens wide open. After a certain focal length wide aperture is a curse, not a bless :)
The name of the ring collar for this samyang? I have reviewed on my italian Channel, After upgrade Is the same with Tamron , bur 500€ less

6:33 - When you ask a youtuber to explain a proper filming making term hahaha
Yeah, we also saw what happens when you ask a videographer to take portraits :D :P
@@holdmylenscap7241 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi. You may also do a video review of this lense⁉️
we are going to do a follow up video :)
I'm sorry, I commented before you showed me that collar from Sigma. Should have had an original collar though. Is the jpeg corrections functioning in camera now?
it's called iShoot S135FE or iShoot MC11-PRO, whichever you prefer.
@@holdmylenscap7241 Thanks, very useful!
Ребята, что скажите за видео, без стабилизации справится?
You get stabilization from the body, but Sony is not the greatest for that. If you have stable hands then you can get away with Sony IBIS but as you get closer to 150mm you will start to miss the OIS.
Do u think that lens is better and sharper than tamron 35-150 for wedding photography?
I don't have any experience with the Tamron so I can't answer that. But based on our experience with the lens it is sharp enough for wedding, unless you want everything to be pixel perfect, but then you need some quality primes :)
Great review 👏 May i have mountring information?
24:54 ;) It's also in the description
@@holdmylenscap7241 thks!!
did the fe135 lens collar fit perfect?
yes it did :)
What focal length does it change aperture from f2
18:44 has the answers ;)
@@holdmylenscap7241 Thanks
I just sold most of my Nikon FF lenses included a 300mm F2.8. Why ? weight and too big.
My new idea is : for landscape and till 58mm , fullframe . As from 100mm use MFT.
Nothing beats the comfort and joy of the MFT system :)
I think I will be selling my sony 24-105 f/4, and sony 70-200 f/4, and replace it with this lens. I only have one camera, and I think this is the perfect lens for professional work. I see it as a great wedding photography lens for the solo shooter with one camera.
It is. But if you do weddings think about getting a secondary camera, you can never know when you run into a fault on your camera and need a backup body.
24:40 if that plastic there is not calculated to carry the lens it will break in time. Unfortunately both 35-150 lenses on the marker are over 1kg which is the official Sony E mount limit for safety and both do not have tripod leg in their design...
I agree. For lenses like this a tripod collar is a must. Luckily there is a 3rd party one available, but Samyang should really release their owrn
@@holdmylenscap7241 my point was that if there is going to be a lens collar the manufacturer must design it from the beginning because the construction of the lens must survive the stress on that point. Otherwise you are going to brake it in time depending on the amount of stress you put on that part of the lens and how strong the plastic is.
@@SimeonKolev True. The best would be the official support, but since it did not happen for this lens, the third party option is still better than nothing. I've used these collars on other lenses and apart from a few minor scratches it made on the lens body I did not experience any issues with them.
May i have mountring information?
@@photographer_daham1144 it's in the description
For landscape photography, it should have had a tripod collar. For travel photography, it should have been an f2.8-f4, to make it lighter.
I agree! I am missing the tripod collar a lot, but luckily there is a 3rd party option.
If it were f2.8-4 then it wouldn't be a good portrait lens, and I think that's the main target audience here, but not the only audience :)
@@holdmylenscap7241 There are still rumors Tamron plans an f2.8 version for travel, I'm crossing my fingers🙂
Would be an almost perfect lens if it wasn't 1.2kg 😪
Well the perfect lens has
1. good IQ
2. fast aperture
3. good zoom range
4. light weight
You can only choose up to 3 options :)
If you think about the focal lengths it is replacing then the lens is not that heavy.
@@holdmylenscap7241 True! It’s just that I’m a hiker & spend most of my days shooting up mountains. My GM24-70 starts to feel heavy after a few hours and that’s 0.5kg less than this 😰
In that case I highly recommend you trying Micro Four Thirds ;) I wouldn't take my Sony for hiking :P
Could’ve been a 5 minute video. Yikes. Cut the bloopers.
what's the fun in it? :)
Fake Dustin Abbout thumbnail 👎
How?
Dustin Abbott uses the manufactures logos in their thumbnails, so did they. That's the only similarity.
It stinks that Samyang sent their prototypes to such unknown and irrelevant TH-camrs. Of course we can't at all expect objective information.
Samyang UK seem to be the only ones who are sending out the lens. I liked this video a lot.
Poor company strategy.
Unknown & irrelevant? The same thing can be said about you & your stinky comment pal.
Don't hate on people's hustle.
If you're into photography gear, there's nothing new under the sun to be objective about. You can see with your own eyes how sharp or not sharp the lens is.
It's pretty much the same lens as the Tamron's.
They sent the lens to people who care to put in the effort to review a lens. Also if you look at their website those who did the reviews are the ones who are providing marketing material too. I'd trust these unknown and irrelevant TH-camrs better than some "big celebrities" who toy with the lens for a day and then do a video. Also Samyang likes to support creators they believe in, that's why they support unknown and irrelevant TH-camrs to help them get exposure. What a terrible company isn't it?
Anyway we did our best effort to bring you a preview of the lens, just a prototype version so far, and we will do our best to bring a full in-depth review of the lens later once we have the full version.
BTW which part of the video you feel is not objective? I would really like to know so in the future we can try to avoid that so we can be more subjective like the well known and relevant TH-camrs are.
@@holdmylenscap7241 Don't BS me please.
@@holdmylenscap7241 Don't pay attention to haters.
These people have nothing else to do with their time.
I 100% applaud Samyang for that hence why my lenses are all from Samyang.
Keep up the good work.
