Why did I buy this tripod? As you can see from the title, this goes incredibly well with the sony A7. The second main reason was that I really wanted to avoid buying a tripod with a rotating mechanism (tripod legs), because you turn a branch there. With the clip mechanism, the tripod is set up in no time at all. Just lovely. In addition, it is super designed and the price is really good for what it comes with. The bag alone surprised me a lot, because it looks really well made! A tripod should make photography easier and I think this tripod does that; all times! I am absolutely satisfied and I hope for a very long life.

use the tripod stationary at home for photos and videos (Sony a7 or Sony a6000). The tripod fits my size 100%. Price/performance and quality also fit from my point of view. Personally, I would go for traveling or hiking (if I should need it) get a slightly lighter tripod.

Yeah well nice man, especially if you have a Sony a7 goes with the orange around the lens

Price / performance is very good. The filter works really well with my Sony A7 siii and 27-70 Sigma lens!

For the money it's a great addition. It also gives my Sony a7 a really small profile so I can travel with it in a (big) bag, which is really handy for a full-frame 35mm camera. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks but already managed to have it on hand at the right time for its portability alone!

use the following other lenses on my Sony A7 Mark III: 24 - 105mm 4.0 | 16 - 35mm 4.0 | 85mm 1.8 | Just so you have references for my review...I think the lenses I listed above are beyond reproach. I was skeptical about the Samyang at first. I bought the lens because I ... a) wanted a light fixed focal length that forces me to use this really "cool" 35mm;-) b) wanted a light combination c) I'm still relatively flexible with it ("Street " not necessarily only people, but in the city) possibly also portraits (not classic, just more reportage) ... the fixed focal length should of course be quite sharp (but sharpness is really not the most important thing for me when taking photos, just a side note) d) Face detection and eye autofocus would be very nice because then I can focus on composition The Samyang really has all of those things. That's a really good lens! It is of course a value for money monster! The only downside... no metal, but plastic. But I can do without it. It would be "stupid" the other way around. Metal and for that a cucumber of lens, right? Here you can really access without hesitation. It's a lot of fun, the autofocus works really surprisingly well...I wasn't really expecting it.

If you take photos with Sony's APS-C cameras and like to create portraits, you will hardly be able to avoid this lens. Image quality is excellent, build quality is very solid, and it even has image stabilization. You rarely get a real alternative from other manufacturers, especially since the price of the Sony is really cheap. I use the 50mm f1.8 OSS on a NEX, an A3000 and the A7. Even if it was not made for the 35mm image section, the lens can be used well on a 35mm camera of the A7 series. The image section corresponds to that of an APS-C camera, you only get a lower resolution than is possible on the camera (on the A7, for example, 10 Mpx instead of the possible 24 megapixels). A real recommendation to use APS-C lenses on 35mm is of course not supposed to be, there are better alternatives with the Zeiss 55mm f1.8 or the Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8, but these are also in a completely different price range. But you don't need to be afraid either, because the advantages of a 35mm sensor (e.g. low noise) also work on the SEL50F18OSS. At APS-C, the lens is currently unbeatable and worth every cent!

Fantastic combo with the Sony A7 in terms of size and weight. Absolutely suitable for travel. The imaging performance is also very good and I even like the subjective image impression (contrast, color, sharpness) slightly better than my 50/1.8 lens. Sharpness over the entire image and even the bokeh can convince if you get close enough to the subject. Recommended!
