Samyang AE 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC Lens For Nikon - BRAND NEW review
It's a crowded field in the fast 35mm lens market, and Samyang's approach to make an economical manual focus lens was a wise one: if you don't need autofocus, but want the razor-thin depth-of-field of a fast lens, the lens was already in your crosshairs.

Samyang's 35mm f/1.4 AS USM features a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture that's two-thirds of a stop faster than an f/1.8. This wider opening lets more light in, and is ideal for using faster shutter speeds in low-light situations or producing slightly more blur behind subjects.

Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC review
The Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC is the company's most expensive lens to date, but at a street price of around £320 it is only about 25% of the price of a comparable optic from the likes of Canon, Nikon and Sony. This means that the Samyang model is around £1,000 cheaper than its rivals.
