Samyang 135mm F1.8 AF on Sony A1

Samyang 135mm F1.8 AF on Sony A1

[serena-yu]

Samyang 135 performed unexpectedly well, much exceeded my expectations. I am waiting for someone like Christopher to post a standardized test as a more strict optical comparison.

Sony's lens coating helps to see the difference between the two lens regarding highlight handling. Af is a little hunting, but ca, ahrpness and lens ghosting in direct sunlight semms to be better with Samyang. For this price this is an excellent value. I'd buy one of it.

Nice compression at that focal length and the background blur looks outstanding to my eye.

Request a video comparison with Samyang vs Viltrox 135 f1.8, please.

For some reason I love the color of the Samyang

[edwinasamidoss]

love the highlights roll off. they are so beautifully exposed. what filters have you got on your videos ?

[artmaltman]

Thank you for the excellent reviews and comparisons on your web site as well as this beautiful video.

I wish we could get the Samyang 135mm in the USA. Shipping has been delayed for months.

Thanks for uploading this video. Can't find the full review you are referring to though.

04:19 why is the a distance difference ? Between both Lenses ?

Unfortunately, my newly bought lens had a battery drain problem on the A7RIII with the power switched off. A 100% battery will be fully drained in 5 days when powered off without using the camera. My lens is with the AD, Samyang is notified, hoping for a resolution soon!

why do the AF comparison with different settings? (Samyang at F2 and GM at F2.5)

[kyleeddy]

did you use warp stabilizer on the videos of the women?

[joshuayeldose]

Sony is sharper for sure. $1000 sharper, probably not.

Interesting color difference in the hat from the girl in the thumbnail.
Maybe lighting changed?
