Samyang AF 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Reviews

Wow!

This lens is much better than it should be for the price. Mine arrived yesterday and I took it out to a college soccer match (see attached image!). It doesn't feel cheap as some other reviewers have stated. It focuses fast and accurately. I'm pleased!

Great all-in-one

Amazing built quality, handling and functionality. I have been using it for over a month and love everything about this lens. It's not too heavy and I feel comfortable shooting with it handheld for several hours.

Sharp lens for a great price

I was a little skeptical that this lens wouldn't compete with the Tamron 35mm - 150mm, but those fears faded quickly. While it is slightly heavier than the Tamron, the image quality, fast autofocus, build quality, and price make up for it!

Just as good or better than the other brand

I cannot believe the image quality of this lens! The color rendition is amazing. It is a little bit cooler than the Competing lens but also very sharp. Highly recommended!

Stop being a brand snob.

I have been using it for a week and I have zero complaints. Super sharp, great autofocus. The flexibility of have a 35-150 is liberating. I used this lens to shoot a youth soccer game and it nailed focus almost every single time.

What a tease . . .

I was floored by this lens. I've always shot super fast primes, and any zoom lenses I've tried before always seemed to have . . . well, a zoom like look to the pictures. Not so with this lens. It truly did feel like I had the proverbial bag full of primes in one lens. Autofocus was good, build quality was good, loved the mf/af switch, and it's a nice looking lens. Unfortunately, it has an achilles heel that eventually made me request a return. The lens is uber susceptible to ugly flaring and ghosting when shooting around sunrise/sunset. Very noticeable multiple bright green dots across the frame, plus big unsightly multi-coloured flare blobs. It almost ruined an engagement shoot I did before I was fully aware of the problem. Could you still work with it? Yes, I suppose so. You have to be very careful with the angles and the position of the sun, but it is doable, especially if you use a hat or something to provide some extra shading beyond what the lens hood replies. But for a wedding photographer who is often shooting can't miss moments, or doesn't have a lot of time to deal with lighting issues - I just couldn't convince myself it was a good idea to move forward. It's a shame, and I'm honestly a little heartbroken - because this felt like a lens almost felt like a fairytale. Prime-like image quality, fast aperture, huge zoom range. Something you could truly leave on your camera and get rid of almost everything else in your bag.

Cheap from any point of view

Pro: Affordable Con: 1. Image quality is worse than most lenses I have used. Soft and blurry while using above F4 at any light condition. 2. Made cheap and feel cheap as well. The zooming tube slides down while holding camera vertically since there's no lock bottom to be designed. 3. Focus failure 2 out of 10. Higher than any other lens I have. 4. White balance is way too blue. Might be lenses coating issue. Thank Adobe it's not hard to adjust. 5. One year warranty from Samyang which means the manufacturer has also been worried about its durability and longevity while any other brands offer at least 3 years warranty. Conclusion: You'll get what you pay for. It was designed for photography lovers not for pros.
