Samyang 100mm f/2.8 Macro Reviews
Good Macro and Portrait Lens
Used the lens to do macro photography of flowers and a few insects. Manual focus ring operates smoothly. The lens has good close focus range. The lens stops down to f/32 and opens wide to f/2.8. It is well balanced and not very heavy. I have also used for portraits with good results also. Good lens for the money.
Great Image Quality, Gargantuan for a6000
IQ is fantastic. Images are sharp and crispy with plenty of contrast and color. Build quality is great. All mechanical parts have a good quality feel - focus ring is smooth and has the right amount of resistance and the aperture ring clicks nicely. With practice, manual focus is easy especially with peaking and focus magnification or other electronic aids. The only reason I don't give it 5/5 stars is because it's huge. It would definitely be more comfortable on a DSLR than the a6000 but it isn't too unwieldy. For me, the image quality and value makes up for the compromise of compactness. If a tripod collar was included it would be even better.
Not easy to use with Sony FE cameras
You have to make changes to the camera settings in the menu so that exposure will occur without a lens attached. I felt that this is awkward and you have to remember to reset it for use with other lenses. I returned the lens.
Good Macro and Portrait Lens
Used the lens to do macro photography of flowers and a few insects. Manual focus ring operates smoothly. Lens can be stopped down to f/32 or wide open to f/2.8. Lens is well balanced and not very heavy. I have also used the lens for a few portraits in natural light and at widest open setting, blurred the back ground sufficiently as it should. Good lens for the money.
Awesome lens
I purchased this lens for my Sony A7 as� I wanted a good macro lens.� This lens is sharp and works well with the A7.� Put the camera in aperture mode and set the ISO to what you want (do not use auto ISO) and the camera will get the correct exposure.� I will also recommend a ring-light with a constant light setting for macro work.
