Here we have another slimline wide angle lens from Samyang, for Sony’s full-frame (or APS-C) mirrorless E-mount cameras. It’s for lenses like this that I bought my Sony a7R II in the first place, really – let’s see how well it performs.

![Moment 60mm 2x Zoom Tele Lens for Smartphones & Tablets – [Review]](https://img.youtube.com/vi/_sjJXPKxNSE/0.jpg "Moment 60mm 2x Zoom Tele Lens for Smartphones & Tablets – [Review]")
hey Chris could u suggest a upgrade to 18-55 and 50 1.8 . camera is a d5300.everyone is welcome to suggest
I always have to resist giving Chris’ videos the thumbs up before I’ve even watched them!
First
This lens I want to have!!
I don’t think it’s really enough to say whether this lens is good, pretty good, or very good. The real questions are how does it compare to the native Sony version of this lens, and is the Sony worth the extra money or not?
“At f16, the image begins to get a bit softer due to the effects of diffraction”
“When I put the cap, the image gets dark due to the effects of opacity of plastic”
“When I turn off the camera, the image gets dark due to the effect of no electricity”
As there is few information about samyang 24mm in Korea, I had wondered this lens. After watching this review, my curiosity is solved!!! Take my money, Samyang!!!
Shoot with Sony really???? Of coarse unsubscribe immediately.
Samyang are really stepping up their game, aren’t they?
I have the Samyang 35mm 1.4 AF and the 50mm 1.4 AF for my sony A7iii, now personally I don’t think I will be purchasing this particular lens since I do own the Sony/Zeiss 24-70f4, however, do you know when they will be releasing an 85mm lens? I do have the sony 85 1.8, but if Samyang releases an 85mm with a 1.4 aperture then I’m trading that Sony lens in a heartbeat 🙂
Also, I wonder why Samyang is only designing f2.8 lenses instead of f2 or faster? I mean, Fuji is able to achieve faster aperture lenses but still maintain a smaller/lighter body.
Nice review, Chris! Subscribed. Keep it up
How did it do with eye AF?
Hi if you would need to choose betzeen canon and sony wich brand would you choose ?
Which one better for video samyang 24mm or sony 28mm? Thx
Hey Chris, good review, but when will you be posting the video of the Tamron 100-400mm?
I’d love to see a review on the Tamron 100-400 (on aps-c) by you !
Or the 7Artisans 7.5mm f2.8 😉
Nice video as usual! Hope to see more regular contents from you.
Hey Chris, is there any chance you’d review the sony 28mm f2?
1:33 … bird 🙂
Best reviews on YouTube.
Nicely done review. Thanks for your effort!
This is one is going in my bag! Great review. I have been looking at the 18 batis 25batis, 21tokina. All at $1000 usd or greater and not 24. Great price, finally! I wonder if Rokinon, would it be identical? I’ve heard they are the same, but why two names?
Uhh, sweet. So compact.
Great review! Another hint while testing – maybe sunstars test? Especially for wide angle lenses it’s quite good test to know their performance!
Forget the tiny glass, we want the big guns! Bring on the sony-70-300 (and the rest of them)
Kidding, thanks for the review 🙂
(but seriously, can’t wait for the zoom lenses)
I’m surprised by the corner performance on the crop sensor. We’re talking about roughly the same pixel density as the 42mp full frame sensor, but in an area of the image circle that should offer better performance.
Yeah, I’ve got their 35mm f2.8 on a6000, I’m very satisfied. Can’t go wrong with Samyang, really
At landscapes, the corners doesn’t look that good at F8. In your test, you’re to close to your subjekt. There must be a bit of focusbreathing, so the lens has no problems at close distances but at far distances.
Nice lens w as hoping to get this for my APS-C camera but its a bit to soft for me there. Oh well I still plan to get the 35mm Soon. I need a good 50mm for APS-C.
