Overview

The Samyang 35mm F1.2 offers decent center sharpness at f/1.2, improving quickly to very good by f/2.0–2.8 and excellent at f/4.0, though edge performance is weak at wide apertures. Build quality is good with metal mount and smooth focus ring, but the lens is heavy (1103g) and manual focus only. It suits photographers who prioritize speed and manual control over autofocus and edge-to-edge sharpness.
