Blending a bright maximum aperture with a comfortable wide-angle focal length, the AF 35mm f/1.4 FE from Samyang is a versatile prime lens for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its general wide-angle field of view suits photographing a wide variety of subjects and the fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also enables working with shallow depth of field techniques. The optical design incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and two high refractive index elements to suppress spherical aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of sharpness and clarity throughout the aperture range. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to control flare and ghosting for increased contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. The lens's Linear Super sonic Motor works in conjunction with Sony cameras' AF systems for quick and precise focusing performance. Additionally, a nine-blade circular diaphragm contributes to smooth, rounded bokeh.

Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 Reviews
Not sure how I feel about it
I've had this lens for about 8 months now. There are times where it freezes on me and won't allow me to take a pic. I have to turn the camera off and then it'll start focusing again. It has been updated but I don't know why it does that. It's frustrating to say the least.
Beautiful lens, misses focus
This lens is seriously good value for what you get. Paired with my Sony A7, many photos taken have came out perfect when focus actually lands. Alternatively, this lens consistently misses focus and struggles in low light. Any time focusing to infinity almost never actually lands focus. This makes me have to refocus multiple times and assume the focus lands. If I wanted to use manual focus, I would have gotten a manual focus lens, but when the whole perk of auto focus doesn't necessarily work, it becomes a big struggle. Trying to take photos in focus. Otherwise the lens is high quality and feels great to use. Focus is relatively quick and sounds low toned and not annoying to use, it feels "good to focus" this lens. Just wish focus actually landed consistently.
