Versatile wide-angle with fast lens speed
The Samyang 35mm f/1.4 lens offers the ideal focal length for shooting-ready reportage use. The outstanding advantage of the 35mm lies in its freedom from distortion: the wide angle brings more image to the sensor, but the distortion or fleeing perspective, which is typical for wide angle, does not occur yet at this focal length. The very high light intensity of f/1.4 allows a reserve of up to 3 time-steps compared to a standard Vario lens. The luminous intensity is also visible in the brightness of the viewfinder, which provides adjustment reliability. The very shallow depth of field with the aperture open makes it easier to set the focus to the desired points.
internal focusing
The lens is equipped with an internal focusing system. Lens groups are moved internally when focusing, the overall length of the lens does not change, nor does the front mount rotate when focusing. Thus, gradient and polarization filters (size 77mm) can simply remain attached.
Optical construction
12 lens elements in 10 groups testify to the enormous effort that was put into creating an extremely powerful optical system. One lens is aspherically ground, two others have high refractive glasses. Despite the average image angle, imaging errors are therefore hardly noticeable even at full aperture.
Advantages of a full frame lens on a camera with APS-C sensor
Save time in post-processing. A variety of lens defects such as distortion, edge blur, or vignetting appear on the outside of the image. If you use a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas will not be used. Thus, the maximum quality is obtained. Additional post-processing time for the correction of lens errors is therefore not necessary.
