⚡ QOTD: What are your favorite LENSES for Sony cameras? LMK! 👇👇👇 ✅ NOTE 1 ✅ This lens is also available with mounts for Canon M Mirrorless, Fuji X and Micro Four Thirds (MFT). You can check them out on Amazon here: amzn.to/2iVuJhy (affiliate) ✅ NOTE 2 ✅The video clips around 3:37 were shot in S-Log and then we added a LUT (but the footage still looks very flat). The clip at 2:24 is shot with standard settings so that is better example of the color the lens produces.
My favourite lenses for my sony a 6000 and sony a7ii are the 55 -210mm for the a6000 very good sharp images in good light not so good in poor light .for the a7ii ziess 55mm ,sony 85mm f1.8 and the samyang 35mm f1.4 autofocus. Have just ordered the samyang 12mm f2 for astro and landscape photography hope this is as good as the reviews
I have had this lens for 1 year and I got it for astrophotography and landscape so autofocus was not important. It is very sharp. Its too bad Sony does not support APS-C cameras with appropriate lenes to get the job done. I suggest adding a 67mm Hoya Intensifier filter to your kit with this lens because of its use for reducing light pollution (orange) in astro/night photography. I leave it on often since it was originally intended for a portrait and landscape filter to enhance but not alter colors. It would likely help the night videos in your review. Also my photos are improved significantly when I edit in Lightroom and manually identify the correct lens for correction since the editing program does not ID the manual lens. You really see the change in the far corners of the image after correction. For landscapes at f/11 you can focus at the Hyperfocal distance of 2.1 ft and everything from 1.1 ft to infinity is sharp. Thanks for the good review.
Hey I've been working hard on my new TH-cam channel and this lens was next on my list to buy!! Thanks for the review. I just picked up the sony 50 mm 1.8 for my channel and love it!!
This lens is the greatest for my live streams. Just had my first ever live stream and I’m so happy. The response I got back was magnificent! It’s perfect for me as I want to show my back ground of pictures and shelving. I’m so happy. Just adjust the focus once and I’m good to go! See my first live stream on how it looks! I’m just so happy with the look and price was a plus! The other camera my 2nd Sony 6400 has a batis 2.8/18mm. Wanna talk sharp now that’s a lens of beauty. Getting ready to pick up a second Rokinon 12mm lens to cover the whole studio. Can’t wait! Thanks again
Been looking for an affordable wide angle lens and I think I've found it! Thanks for sharing this. Only downside is the manual focus. I'm not that experienced yet but hopefully I'll get the hang of it.
Thank you for a nice detailed review of this camera. Some things you say sometimes just go over my head. But I’m learning a lot from you and Benji every time I watch your videos😘
I have fallen love with the Rokinon 12mm f/2 lens on my A6500. It is sharp, beautiful colors, and with Focus Assist and Focus Peaking on the A6500, the Rokinon is quite easy to focus manually...
I got a Sony A6000 with 18-135 and loving it ! I just dicovered ultra wide angle with my smartphone, and now I only shoot with this, but the sharpness IS si bad ! I want the rokinon on my A6000 ! Love this focal lenght
Hey Sean! I recently subscribed to your channel and I must admit that i’m glad I did. I love how educational but yet sooo understandable your videos are for beginners like myself. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store for future videos.🙂💜
Dang man, good video BUT was waiting to see some Infinity Focus shots Landscapes with the gimbal... any footage like this you have already uploaded or will you? Thank you
Which would be better for real estate photography where I need a good low light and ultra wide lens. A6000 with Rokinon or Nikon D3400/5600 with Tokina 11-16mm?
I am looking forward to picking up one of these... I think it will flesh out my Sigma 30mm f/1.4, Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS and Sony 85mm kit for my A6500...
I'd love to test this one out. My favorite e-mount lens is the Sigma 30mm f/2.8. It's so versatile and affordable. It's a perfect street photography lens and is rdiculously sharp.
Great lens, especially for astro. I think that if Sony would have made his zoom lenses 2.8 (the 10-18 and 18-105) instead of F4, they would have killed the market!
Eh looking at the differences between the 6000 and the 6300, the 6000 is better if you don't plan on making lots of videos (like me). Though the viewfinder in the 6300 is a lot nicer, I really dig my 6000.
Question, I'm going to be doing education videos based on geography content. Do I have to have a capture card to gather all the video, or would I use a program instead, being I will have to use videos from numerous sources I would like to know the best option from the start. Thanks and keep the videos coming.
The Rokinon, same one but on a G7, do you think it increases the field of view while filming in 4k a lot compared to the kit lens? The G7 comes with 14-42mm kit lens so would 12 mm Rokinon make any difference?
Thanks, pretty good. I'm also looking at Laowa 9mm for a6400. Trying to decide between the Laowa and this 12mm (more for stills). A comparo of these two would really be helpful. I don't see one so far.
Great comparison. I'm either picking up the Rokinon or the 16 mm prime for my X T3. I use the Sigma 16 mm DC DN f 1.4 on my 6500 and love that lens. For me, more than 16 mm is less usable.
This lens looks like it would be great when we go to Opportunity Villages Magical Forest. Been looking for something to go on my A6400. Thanks for the info.
Awsome video . This lens is definitely on my purchase list next for my sony a6400 . I prefer all manual lenses. My favorite lens so far is tt artisans 40mm 2.8 macro lense. And meika 25mm 2.0
Seriously love how in depth your reviews are. I’d love to see your review on the Sony A5000/A6000. I love the canon G7x but I’m really looking for a cheaper alternative.
Out of the topic question sir, what canon camera do you think is best for food blogging here in youtube? Thanks I do close up video of foods in. Buffet
Great video once again Sean. Could you please make a video on high end camera lenses that have great video quality for Cannon Rebel cameras/70/80d? Thanks! I'm looking for a great prime lens to shoot TH-cam videos. Also a video on a great quality zoom lenses would be awesome as well. Thanks again!!
If we compare a Nikon D7200 with 10-24 mm lens on 12mm with a sony a6500 with 12mm rokinon then which one will produde wider image ?? I am more into landscape photography and seeking for ultra wide angle shots. So which one should i consider a better pick ?
Hey Sean, Quick question...What would be (In your humble opinion) the best Lens under $400 for the Panasonic G7? I am looking for a better upgraded lens that isn't going to break the bank but need something wide with image stabilization for vlogging. Thanks in advance...Daniel
+Think Media the concept would be more like a talk show using a tripod wit lights and a backdrop and not so handheld shots or movements.just trying to make sure so ill kno which one to get and not to mention i just got my first dslr camera which is a canon t2i
I’ve had this lens for a few months now for my A6300 and I’m not completely satisfied with the footage I get when it comes to sharpness/focus. I actually put it up for sale haha
Looking for a good cheap starter Milky Way lens to use with my EOS M6 Mk II. The EOS M version of this seems like it would be perfect. Good Review Thanks.

@@ThinkMediaTV Woow great comment, do you have instagram to see the pics you took ?
These are the comments I look for in videos like this.
Thank you for that sir!
Will definitely look at those
I love Rokinons line of lenses. I just recently did a review of the 8mm for the M50. Makes the 4k more usable.
I have this lens for my Canon EOS M5. It is great for landscape photography, especially around dusk or dawn. It is very sharp and the color is great.
Just got the M6MkII so thats good to hear. Im looking to do Milky Way with it.
This is one of my favorite Lenses!
is this work with A7iii
This video proves how much difference the lens makes... thank you. Great review
Hey I've been working hard on my new TH-cam channel and this lens was next on my list to buy!! Thanks for the review. I just picked up the sony 50 mm 1.8 for my channel and love it!!
Can you talk more about infinite focus?

Awesome lens. I love wide lenses I use them a lot for Landscape and my videos. Really informative as always 🤘
thanks man this video is the one that made me decided to buy this lens instead of the other review on TH-cam.
Been looking for an affordable wide angle lens and I think I've found it! Thanks for sharing this. Only downside is the manual focus. I'm not that experienced yet but hopefully I'll get the hang of it.
Hi what should you choose, to shot mostly video's Samyang 12mm f/2 NCS ? Or. Rokinon ? Thanks
Thank you for a nice detailed review of this camera. Some things you say sometimes just go over my head. But I’m learning a lot from you and Benji every time I watch your videos😘
I don't like how the color is not as good with rokinon but sometimes when your broke its a good go to.
*whispering* post-processing
Native Bmx Crew you’re
Never considered Sony but looks like I'll have to take this a look as well ? Thank you for sharing your knowledge Sean !
Just bought an a7iii and I can't imagine what I would capture in the night sky with its very high ISO and this lens
I have fallen love with the Rokinon 12mm f/2 lens on my A6500. It is sharp, beautiful colors, and with Focus Assist and Focus Peaking on the A6500, the Rokinon is quite easy to focus manually...

Very well presented. I think I'm sold.
if you have the 6600 with AF built in would that make the lack of AF on this lens not matter?
That is so funny!! I was legit about to ask a friend about lenses for my A6000 and then I get a notification for this video 😂😂
This is either funny or scary 😂

I have a a6300 & a6500. I just bought it.. Thanks for the review. It came with a 20% discount for amzn prime members.
Awesome camera review! Love this channel! All the tips are so helpful!
I think for action figure photography this could be useful. Could give some unique perspective. May have to invest in this.
Solid video Sean! Love that lens, footage looks great!
Samyang is releasing an updated version of this lens with auto focus. Think we could get a review and comparison between the two?
yooo what is it available. I need that.
Thinking about this lens for M4/3
Is this one would work for the A5100?
I use a Rokinon 14mm for night photography, it's pretty darn solid.
paradoxdesigns nice!
Which would be better for real estate photography where I need a good low light and ultra wide lens.
A6000 with Rokinon or Nikon D3400/5600 with Tokina 11-16mm?
Thanks for the advice Sean! We are launching our channel ClassicCultCollectibles in January and we purchased the SL2.
Great video as usual... i might pick this lens for sony camera
Super like!, I wonder how necessary the focus adjusting is needed
I am looking forward to picking up one of these... I think it will flesh out my Sigma 30mm f/1.4, Sony 50mm f/1.8 OSS and Sony 85mm kit for my A6500...
Awesome video bro 🔥😍😘
I'd love to test this one out.
My favorite e-mount lens is the Sigma 30mm f/2.8. It's so versatile and affordable. It's a perfect street photography lens and is rdiculously sharp.
Colin Bloodworth nice - would love to test - I really want to try the sigma 16mm f/1.4 - looks amazing ⚡️👊🏼
Colin Bloodworth the sigma 30mm 2.8 '' ridiculous sharp '' but the autofocus is not so great... Just got mine last week...
Hi! Great video! Is a good lens for real state photos and videos?
Those look amazing, Crazy prices thoufh, I'm a low light person
I LOVE my Canon, but I have definitely seen so videos that make me curious about Sony and the options available for Sony cameras.
Glass is expensive, I only have the kit 16-50mm for my a5000. But I can do all I need to with that. Work within my limits!
Abdul Koroma that’s a great setup! 🔥💯
Great video! Shows the potential of this lens. What settings you use on the camera?
New notification squad here!
Temputers Tech aye!
Think Media Thanks for the reply. When will the giveaway results announced. Almost 200 entries earned...
Great content keep it up love your videos
Great lens, especially for astro. I think that if Sony would have made his zoom lenses 2.8 (the 10-18 and 18-105) instead of F4, they would have killed the market!
Agree!
However, at 2.8 they would probably heavy and much larger.
But I agree. 👊💯
and much ££££$$$$$
I use also a not -native lens for my g7, it is non autofocus nikkor 50mm. Great result, but need to learn the focus/ depth of field a lot.
I have a 16mm f/2. If the manual focus does not scare you, the image quality is way better than the price suggests.
first thing i noticed, it blumes the high lights so nicely its a gorgeous
Great video! I found it very informative!
Really need a Sony A6000. It looks so good.
FlyByFrancis the more recent models are a lot better. Although I love my a6000
The samyang 12mm f2 sony arrived yesterday. (same as rokinon) going to use it on my a6000. Still very pleased with the a6000.
Hambardzum Galstyan at least a6300. No microphone jack is a bust for my a6000. Hopefully the a6700 comes out soon so the prices drop
just picked up my new A6000, amazing lil camera

If I wanted to shoot the milky way would this be a good lens? Would the aperture be low enough?
The Rokinon, same one but on a G7, do you think it increases the field of view while filming in 4k a lot compared to the kit lens? The G7 comes with 14-42mm kit lens so would 12 mm Rokinon make any difference?
what camera used in this video?, I like the color and sharpness
F .2 haha That must let in a ton of light ;)

How good is it for street or portrait photography?
Which one should i get this or sigma 16mm
Compared to sigma 16mm f1.4 , which one do you prefer and why?
It looked good in the low light video

Would you recommend this lens for photography?
Cheers for the video. An interesting choice... good for b roll maybe. I would worry about the focus risk when filming myself for videos
One of my favourite lenses for my A6300
Can I use this lens to shoot the monument? I have no clue, new to camera usages and want to shoot the monument.
Do I need to buy a lens mount to add lenses???
Cool. I have this lens as well. But have been debating to sell it or not in order to buy the sigma 16mm f/1.4 :(
