  • Full review with photo/video samples of Samyang 35-150mm f2/2.8 for Sony-E cameras. This is a second lens with this focal range for Sony-E and it is following in the footsteps of Tamron 35-150mm. It is bigger, heavier but significantly cheaper than Tamron. Is it as good though?

    Great video! Thanks so much for taking the time to go so in-depth. We are still quite tempted, but possibly we need to wait to get the Tamron for the slightly lighter package and the slight improvement in IQ.

    • @PavSZ

      There is no hiding it, Tamron is a better lens overall. This is pretty close behind though and it is made for all those who can't stretch their budget to the price of Tamron or who are loyal to the Samyang brand.

    I bought my Samyang 35-150 in BH for a thousand dollars, already updated to version 2, and I have nothing to complain about, the auto focus for videos and photos are excellent on my Sony a7iv. The material is not bad, the problem with Tamron is that if you pay 2000 thousand dollars and sell it you will lose a lot of money.

    Thanks for the review. What I don't get is why people are complaining about the weight. What would be different from carrying a lens kit consisting of 24-70 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8 for example, which together actually weigh more? Or shooting with a 70-200 f2.8 GM2 at only 200 g less? I used to shoot weddings (and not just me, that's certain) with a Canon 5D mk3 with battery grip on, 70-200 f2.8 and sometimes with a speedlight mounted on. Now that is heavy!

    He Pav, great video. A little confusing at 2:52 though, because with respect to close focusing you are saying "at 35 mm it is 33cm and at 150mm it is 85mm. That would mean at 150mm it focuses 24.5 cm closer than at 35mm. I suspect you meant that at 150mm it focuses down to 85cm. Y/N?

    • @PavSZ
      @PavSZ  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      As far as I know what I said it is right. When you fully zoom out (at 35mm) you subject has to be 33cm (from the sensor) for the lens to focus. When you fully zoom in (150mm), you will have to step back as your subject will have to be 85cm (cm, not mm as I said in the video) from the sensor.
      Mistakes happen unfortunately

    I bought one and returned it, the focus was way off what it was supposed to be(I adjusted it with the dock) but then I found out that many images were fine in the center but the whole left side of the image was blurred, I'm thinking whether to buy another one and see if I get a good copy or pass on this lens.

      I also bought this lens on preorder and this first lens whas not what I expected in terms of AF. Especially wide open. So I returned it. After that I bought another copy that was not one of the first copies and was bought from Germany not Romania like the first one. This second copy is really great also in terms of AF and IQ.

    I've read some reviews by people who had the screws on the mount loosen over time and literally fall off their camera. The worst part is Samyang didn't stand by their products and stopped communicating with them altogether. Hopefully they've learned from it and fixed the problem. Buyers of used (older) copies beware.
    BTW, are the Rokinon versions identical? For some reason I see they're slightly less expensive.

    • @PavSZ
      @PavSZ  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I have been told that this problem was only present with early versions of 24-70mm lens and they have already addressed the issue.
