This heavily built lens is a wonderful step up from my two kit lenses. It gives a much crisper image than my Canon 18-135mm zoom lens, and provides better bokeh than either that or my 70-300mm zoom lens. However, no matter the f-stop, the image is slightly hazy when you zoom in while post-processing. While certainly my clearest lens yet, none of the photos I've taken so far with this lens are crystal clear. It's a great price for a prime lens, and overall, I recommend! Pros: - great bokeh - manual aperture ring, with stops between each number - crisp images Cons: - Manual-only focus - images crisp, but not crystal clear - some problems with lens flare when shooting into the light

It goes without saying this lens is the best lens and also the sharpest lens I've ever used so far. When I picked up this lens, honestly I didn't know much about Samyang's lenses except, i've heard of them from quite a few forums. But, now I that I've tried this lens, I'm so glad I made the choice, and it has become my favorite lens ever since. If you are puzzled to which lens to get, Samyang has its own website, so you can go take a look.

This is a great lens. I find that I love using it because of its 1.4 maximum aperture that allows me to use it for low-light situations. However, at 1.4, you have to be very calculating about the area you want in focus, because that depth of field is indeed shallow. I can't even compute how much but less than a pinky finger's thickness is right, probably a fraction of that. I purchased it because of its affordable price-point. However, I am returning it because it has opened my eyes to other f1.4 lenses that offer autofocus. Thank you, Samyang, for this opportunity - your product is a gateway for me to the world of fast lenses.

Only cons would be the manual-only focusing ability and the fact that the plastic rear end cap scratched easily, making me question the quality of the lens barrel.

Really great lens as far as image quality is concerned, and a great value. This is my first fully manual lens, and I enjoy the novelty of setting the aperture and focus manually. The focus ring is a joy to use - it's very smooth and has a long range of movement. The lens body comes painted with a random textured pattern of small droplet-like bumps that I wasn't fond of at first, but maybe it will increase grip and be useful. The lens is a little large. I'd prefer a 35mm that had a flatter profile, but not if it means sacrificing image quality.
I use it for film with my DSLR. Great image, great DOF, silent focus wheel, sturdy build. As it is fully manual it takes some getting used to but that is what I expected.
I use this on a crop sensor Canon 50D as it gives me a 56mm equivalent on a film or full sensor camera. I have an 18-200 lens but it only goes down to f/3.5 of 4 at 50mm so I need this for the depth of field it can give with the f/1.4 aperture. There are several versions of this lens out there, this one does not have an aperture ring, all f stops are adjusted with the camera and not on the lens. As the reviews on the other versions of this lens it is manual focus but it is very clear and easy to focus and the photos are very sharp. I can compare it to a Canon 50mm f/1/4 USM and a Canon 60mm f/2.8 macro and it is as sharp as either of those as well as my Canon 18-200. I am not a professional but as a serious hobbyist I am very satisfied with this lens.This is a solid ... MoreI use this on a crop sensor Canon 50D as it gives me a 56mm equivalent on a film or full sensor camera.

I am not a professional but as a serious hobbyist I am very satisfied with this lens.This is a solid heavy lens. It is twice the size of my Canon 50mm USM and it is almost the same size as my Canon 18-200 which I keep on my camera most of the time so when I switch to this lens may camera maintains the same feel and balance.
Its a beast of a lens and learning to get it in focus is a task. As the aperture is manual, you have to think through everything before the shot, but its fun and something that every beginner should use to learn how to use a camera.
If you don't mind everything that is manual on this lens, GET IT!! It is the best 35mm F/1.4 lens out there! It's beats both the Canon and Nikon in terms of sharpness. You get more than what you pay for!! ;)
In 2014, I bought the AE version of this lens as the first 35mm pairing for my Canon 6D. It quickly became my go-to lens for anything that didn't absolutely require AF. The bokeh quality, vignetting, and color rendition of this lens are unbelievable for such an affordable piece of glass. If this is near the top of your budget, buy this lens right now. Even with the manual focus and no stabilization, I'd rather shoot this lens over the plasticy, chromatic aberration-ridden Canon 35mm f/2 IS USM. Of course your own shooting conditions may make the Canon a better value with IS and AF, but for me, just walking around town or shooting posable scenes, this lens rocked. For a while that is.. A few weeks ago, I booked a trip for which I knew I wouldn't be able to ... MoreIn 2014, I bought the AE version of this lens as the first 35mm pairing for my Canon 6D.

Of course your own shooting conditions may make the Canon a better value with IS and AF, but for me, just walking around town or shooting posable scenes, this lens rocked. For a while that is.. A few weeks ago, I booked a trip for which I knew I wouldn't be able to comfortably hack it with my B+ manual focusing accuracy. Enter the champion, the legend, the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art. This Samyang blew me away two years ago, but the Sigma is in a league of it's own. I still have to tip my hat to Samyang for delivering such wonderful optics at such low prices. Not to mention the build quality feels better than lenses that cost twice as much. Samyang / Sigma Art sharpness, and chromatic aberration comparison image attached. The image speaks for itself. In the time that I've owned the Samyang, I'd guess I've taken around 16k-18k different photos through it. Different meaning re-focusing, so not including any exposure bracketing. 18k rotations of the focus ring is a lot I suppose, but I'd expect any decently made lens to be able to handle such a task without issue. The focus ring grip still looks brand new, and hasn't loosened on the barrel at all. I'm quite happy with that. However, the dampening mechanism has developed a crunch to it when focusing with any kind of speed. It's not a foreign debris issue either, it feels like the tolerances of the focus ring have loosened over time, resulting in a dampening slip. Unfortunately I can comment of the cost to repair this issue. I haven't had it repaired since the issue didn't affect focusing accuracy. The only other (superfluous) con to this lens I can think of is the omission of the red alignment dot on the barrel's exterior. Instead of the dot on the exterior of the lens, Samyang decided to imprint it into the face of the metal mount surface. Not a huge deal, but it's a bit awkward to look at the face of the mount and creep it toward the camera like you're looking for the remote under a couch or something. Coincidentally, one of three barrel screws in the exact spot the alignment dot would be on a Canon lens, I'm not sure if that gives any insight into why Samyang chose to move it from the normal position.
I used this lens on 5d mark III for test.. And results were impressive... Especially chip set helps measurement perfectly and everything is much easier on get desired result on sharpness, vignetting and bokeh... Especially After 2.0 great sharpness and less vignetting, and very good bokeh... Amazing result I received and definetly advice that manual lens for different experience... Please my test shoots... ( no post production, just original, no extra light nor speedlight )
