I've e a copy and: 1. Sharpness is great across the range 2. Weight sucks, i find it too hard to carry especially with a flash attached. 3. AF is fine, at least on my R3A. 4. Lens creep is easily fixable with some black duct tape. I've fixed it half-assed, and removed like 90% of it, i'm sure that if i rly care about it more, i can fix it entirely, but it's fine the way it is rn.
Can you explain the duct tape thing please? Thanks.
@@seansaca Of course. I just zoomed in the lens to expose the barrel, then i applied like 3 layers of black duct tape on the top and on the bottom of the barrel, effectively making it "thicker". And cuz it's thicker, it's gonna have less room to wiggle/drop. The size of the duct tape was about 3-4cm long, nothing serious. Depending on the thickness of your duct tape, you may need more or fewer layers of it. You'll see improvements after the first 2 layers tho, anything more is just trying to achieve perfection.
@@cosminthunde Thanks for that.
I love the genius idea with duct tape.
I hope you've updated the firmware before saying the AF is unreliable because it would or could fix those issues.
In like the honest review. You should talk more about the tamron 35-150mm maybe another video? I have the samyang 35-150mm, love the lens, i cant compaire to the tamron because i haven't used it yet. However i agree with the lens creep, ive seen other youtubers talk and demonstrate the creeping, one thing you didn't talk about was the lens lock location maybe it wasn't a problem for you because of how you shoot and record. With these two things i dont like there is many more things i love. The samyang 35-150mm is allways on my sony a7iii, i got mine for $1000 cheaper then the tamron, so was able to buy a sigma 50mm 1.4. I noticed an improvement in focusing after the firmware upgrade, its on pair with the sigma now.
I will! is in my to do list is just difficult because I work doing Video Production Full time and also run a Wedding company so between those two it makes it difficult to get on camera but I am working on finding the right balance between the 3.
You're complaining about the lens creeping when you didn't lock it? And you complaining about it being heavier than the Tamron, by like 70g? Lmao wow.
you spend 1200 € and cant buy a 50 € dock station for a update bruh
Was thinking the same thing and as far as video quality we just shot two music videos and it was excellent went hand in hand with my fx3 and my A1. and in photos forget about it same across the board. ane the lens creep well pick your battles..lol
I have the same problem on my samyang lenses while using it on a newer bodies like A7CII and A7IV after the firmware update using the dock fixed those issues. I really feel bad about being too straight saying the AF is unreliable without doing basic troubleshooting first. He is a clearly a Tamron fanboy and might want a Tamron sponsorship. 🤣
@@mrbrightside211 after the firmware update, does the samyang autofocus is on par with the tamron and can the samyang autofocus keep up when shooting sports/action photo when paired with the sony a7cii/a7iv??
@@mrbrightside211 fixed those issues? are you having any trouble recently? I'm looking to but the samyang, can you help me??
I have this lens too, and i love it. Ot have problem. On a7iii
Honest Talk ❤❤❤
Thank you! My goal is to always be honest with the equipment I use and buy.
i returned my samyang yesterday for all the same reasons. took it out and my footage was all unusable. got it when it went on sale for 1k and decided go just check it out knowing i could return it, but it just sucked for video. got the tamron for $1500 from greentoe
Yeah I bought it on sale too for 1,000 lol and for those same exact reasons too as well.
hey, by any chance do you require a video editor ?
Not at the moment honestly but def will keep it in mind if I start getting on camera more for KZhead.
If you didn't update it, you didn't really test it fully. 🤷🏽♂️
You get what you pay for. The Tamron is a better lens, more reliable and better build quality. But if you'd rather save money, the Samyang costs less. Nice to have options.
Oh I agree 100% The Tamron version is my go to.. I wanted to test for myself if this was going to be a good pair to my Tamron since I’m in love with the versatility of 35 to 150 in a lens but it turned out to be that statement “You get what you pay for”
@mreyesmedia4965 As it's such an important lens in anyone's arsenal, I would go for the Tamron without any hesitation.
AF on my a7RIII, a7IV and a7RV works great for event work. I shoot stills, no video.
your copy of Samyang 35-150 has issues. So , comparing the price of Tamron , which is 1.67 times more expensive than Samyang,(in MY country , Samyang costs 1200 euro and Tamron costs 2000 euro. that explains why you think that Samyang feels cheaper . AND , Samyang is parfocal :P . I`m not a fan of Samyang, actually , i just trade my Samyang 24-70 for a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 , caused of weight ...
I guess I had a really bad copy because it wasn't even parfocal I even tested that and the results were not consistent. I bought it on sale but yeah it went back.
@@mreyesmedia4965 this parfocal bullshit it isn`t quite real . in fact , there`s an electronic trick , not a lens advantage
You are not photographer :)))
That’s is correct. I’m not a photographer and never said I am a photographer. I handle video and my views are strictly related to video only.
