The Samyang 35mm f/1.4 wide-angle lens impresses with its brightness and image quality. As is typical with Samyang, both focus and aperture are manually adjusted, allowing you to place the sweet spot exactly where you want it. The brightness of f/1.4 is ideal for low-light photography. Moreover, the potential for subject isolation is enormous, with the subject being surrounded by a creamy bokeh at wide open aperture.

A 35mm prime lens is often referred to as a reportage lens because it allows the photographer to dive deeper into a scene. This enables the photographer to convey to the viewer the feeling of being right there on location. Additionally, the 63° field of view (40° on APS-C) makes it perfect for landscape photography as well.

The 12 lenses are arranged in 10 groups and housed in a robust casing. Thanks to the aspherically ground lens and the two high-refractive glasses within the lens, image errors are minimized even at wide open aperture. The metal mount enhances the premium feel of this light giant. With internal focusing, the compact dimensions of the lens remain unchanged, leaving no doubt that this is a meticulously produced product that doesn't need to hide.
