Yongnuo YN35mm f/2.0 DF DSM wide-angle fixed focal length lens for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras
SKU: GW21.0011
I've been using the lens for almost 2 weeks now and I'm thrilled! The Autofokos always sits and is great! Of course it is not a flyweight, but you make the compromise if you want to have such a fast lens with the corresponding zoom range. I use the lens on a Sony a7 iv and it even fits my Dji RSC 2 gimbal, which I think is great. I have sold all my other lenses and have not regretted it for a second! As I said, I can only say positive things so far and absolutely recommend it

Everything in sight, except lenses and membrane blades is plastic, including the mount. There's no five-axis stabilization in the Sony FE Series II, as the lens doesn't report focus distance. As such, you'll need to be prepared for three-axis stabilization when entering focus into the camera's SteadyShot options. As is usual with this type of lens, we won't find a diaphragm ring or manual mechanical focus, which is what else we wish for. That is, its weight of less than 90 grams and its length of just over 3 cm put it in the record category. Entire bag. Minimalist design that doesn't offend anyone. It doesn't sound on my A7R II when focusing and does it right and fast. Support AF with manual focus by increasing focus range x5 when we enable DMF function in camera focus modes. There is no slag, it fits well, everything is going smoothly. In terms of image quality, it rubs or goes into the “A”. Sharpness and detail at virtually every aperture, great color and contrast, I've turned on Distortion, Vignetting and AC options on the camera and the truth is I can't tell you. Great buy for this price. A vintage manual can be four or five times cheaper if you don't need AF, but forget about the same color and performance. Those aspheric lenses aren't there for nothing, nor does the optical design have anything to do with the ones from a few years ago, that the rear lens is larger than the front for some reason... It's one thing when you're fed up with it, to see high-resolution samples, and another to get them directly. It's hard to go wrong with that goal.

This lens is very good for the performance and price it is, don't expect the sharpness or bokeh performance of a Sigma 1.4 or a Gmaster series but it holds up very well. I bought this lens as a daily camera bag paired with a Sony A7s and Samyang 35mm f2.8 lens and overall the weight is very light maybe 400 or 500 grams all together and it fits perfectly in my jacket pocket. Being compact it's good for street photography or travel photography as it doesn't stand out or look like a 'pro camera' unlike my d800 and 24-70 f2.8 lens. I would highly recommend this to someone who is a beginner in photography as it is far, much sharper and better quality than the like standard lens that comes with the Sony cameras and not for too much of an investment. TLDR; Light, compact and sharp for the size. Easy to use, better than a kit lens. worth the money would recommend .

The lens is great. For my type of photography (I mainly photograph people, see also Instagram 'uwe2756') it replaces all other lenses, with a really great imaging performance (open aperture). However, it has its price. And it's big and quite heavy. When I'm shooting and concentrating on the model, it's not that important anymore. So far I've had three lenses in my bag, the Tamron 28-75 f2.8; the Tamron 70-180 f2.8 and the Sony 85 f1.8. Now I only have this lens (on my A7 III with battery grip) with me. I am absolutely delighted and can recommend it unreservedly.

This lens spends a lot of time with my camera. It's a great little full frame 35mm lens that comes at a fraction of the Sony own brand price. Image quality is decent, focus is fast and build quality doesn't seem to be an issue - the lens feels stable. Instructions that come with the lens suggest that the camera needs to be explicitly told that a 35mm lens is attached for image stabilization. That's a little disappointing, but I didn't have to do this (or at least didn't notice stabilization struggling without this setting being changed). If you're interested in your first prime lens I'd recommend this (unless you want to shoot portraits, in which case 50mm or 85mm will do).

Ideal for people and event photography; 35mm as a light WW up to 150 (telephoto) at 2.0-2.8 is awesome. In full format, this offers a very good release, so that my 85mm 1.8 is actually no longer needed. The only catch is that it's heavy, like a typical 70-200 2.8, but the flexibility is awesome. I like to use it.

K&F Concept are currently causing a sensation with their first AF lenses and then on Sony's E-Mount for full format! This ingenious pancake is just great to use as a "point and shoot" lens. Street, landscape and even portraits are very doable, you can even get close to flowers. ;-) I LOVE IT! LG WOLF PS: In the meantime there are also 24, 50 and 85 mm versions - just a tip among "friends". ;-)

It has to be aperture 4. 2.8 doesn't work for me. As a landscape and architecture photographer, I need a lens without distortion and with high sharpness, even in the close-up range. I get this with this lens from aperture 5.6. It even surpasses my Zeiss lenses, which are 3-4x as expensive. Aperture 8 is also still possible. I don't use the AF, but I was surprised during my tests!! SILENT and to the POINT! WE RECOMMEND

Use the lens on my Sony 7RII and am very enthusiastic. Ideal combination for on the go. The optical performance is superb - sharp to the corners, virtually no chromatic aberration. The autofocus is accurate and fast enough. Unfortunately, the lens contains a lot of plastic and I hope the bayonet will last a while. Anyone who knows the optical performance of Sony and Zeiss lenses will be surprised what this small Chinese manufacturer has built here. I don't understand how Zeiss can hardly do anything better for 4-5 times the price. I'll just say - Zeiss dress warmly - the Chinese are coming. Hope Samyang expands the product line for the Sony FE Bayonet then this was not the last lens.

class lens. Extremely light and small. Photos turn out great with enough light. 35mm is a great focal length for travel and city shots, but portraits are also very chic - if you get close :-) My only criticism would be the materials used. Compared to my other lenses, the Samyang 35 2.8 looks a little "cheap". But for the price that's okay.
