The Samyang AF 35 mm f/1.4 FE is currently the cheapest 1.4/35 full frame lens available on the market. Combine that with its very good image quality, offered practically up from the maximum relative aperture, and you get an excellent reason for recommending the purchase.

excellent image quality in the frame centre,, good image quality on the edge of APS-C,, sensible image quality on the edge of full frame,, very low lateral chromatic aberration,, lack of problems with spherical aberration,, moderate astigmatism,, slight vignetting on APS-C,, silent and accurate...

worse distortion correction than in the case of rivals,, weak performance against bright light,, huge vignetting on full frame.

The new Samyang AF 35mm f/1.4 FE is a very fast and relatively affordable classic 35mm lens for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras that's a viable alternative to the much more expensive Sony Zeiss Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA optic.

The Samyang AF 35mm f1.4 FE is a mild wide-angle prime lens for Sony’s Alpha mirrorless cameras, offering a bright aperture and autofocus at an affordable price below Sony’s existing trio of 35mm lenses. In my tests, the Samyang AF 35mm f1.4 FE left me with mixed feelings.

For many years, Samyang have been building an impressive array of manual focus lenses. Reviews have been very positive, although often expressing the wish that the lenses were autofocus. Now we do have a range of Samyang AF lenses.
