- High performance packed into a compact and very light housing is the main plus point of the Samyang optics.
- It is difficult to give this lens a minus point. Even the price is not too high in view of the performance it offers.
The Samyang AF 35mm F1.8 FE shows very good imaging properties and has an excellent price-performance ratio. Its silent and fast autofocus system is helpful for both photography and filming. All in all, Samyang presents a highly interesting solution.
