Product Information

Distortion is very well-controlled with a tiny amount of barrel-type bending at the wide-angle end which then becomes pincushion-type bending from around 50mm. The main downside of this lens is its weight (1231g) and fatness : you will never forgot you carry this lens and you will be tired after a few hours shooting with it. And, of course, carrying a set of fast primes would be a much heavier load… with a lot of time-wasting involved when changing focal lengths compared to the convenience of simply zooming. Les résultats sont excellents à pleine ouverture sur des capteurs de max 50Mpix , mais l’optique souffre un peu sur 61mpix avec des résultats seulement très bons à pleine ouverture et excellent à F4. You just set the initial conditions (wide or tele, and locked focus) and as long as the shutter button was half-pressed, the camera took care of the rest.

This includes a rubber gasket around the lens mount which is even more important on a mirrorless camera where the sensor is more exposed than with a DSLR. The lens is equipped with the Samyang autofocus, which works particularly quickly and quietly, even when filming. Samyang has really improved their primes but, based on reviews I've read, I would be hesitant to try the zooms for any paid work.maximum aperture range means that you aren’t sacrificing a whole lot of speed compared to using primes, especially at the telephoto end. The zooming collar is quite wide, so it affords a firm grip, and the zooming mechanism is telescopic so the lenses increases in physical length as the focal length is increase. They’re also quite similar in size, weight and external design, but there are some key differences in the optical construction and, not surprisingly, the Samyang model is the more affordable. A lock switch on the body helps users keep the lens set at its shortest 35mm position and is useful for protection during travel.

A zoom lock switch helps users keep the lens set at its shortest 35mm position, making it more convenient and safe to carry.

Still, your point is not wrong: this is not a lens for quasi-macro buffs, and event shooters may need something else for close-up décor shots.

It’s not a lightweight zoom by any means, due to the substantial amounts of glass required to render professional image quality, but it is well balanced and definitely solid feeling. Whilst primarily designed for portrait photographers, the wide zoom range is also useful for everyone shooting commercials, events, and travel imagery.

I have neither and am interested now (after much initial scepticism) in one of these, but I'm not in a hurry (Samyang lenses are often heavily discounted around Black Friday), so I'm waiting for reviews from Dustin Abbott and/or Gordon Laing. With a focal length range of 35 mm to 150 mm, it covers the most common applications, from nature shots to portraits to telephoto shots.

The shorter flange back distance and, in many cases, wider throat of the mirrorless camera mounts provide more scope for optimizing lens performance without requiring complex and expensive optical constructions. In addition, the excellent optical design of the lens provides superior resolution right to the edge, and the Linear Stepping Motor allows faster and more accurate AF performance.A professional dolly can be expensive and challenging to operate, but this lens allows you easily take the dolly shot.
