Your reviews are always very detailed and to the point, thank you!

[@uateva]

Great review, very useful. Thanks

[@VietNguyen-gn6fr]

Great video comparison

[@agenericaccount3935]

I'll generally bias to Sigma. Familiarity-and a good baseline for consistency/quality. You know what you are getting.

[@travelbug_usa]

Plastic fantastic 😂 good one 😊

[@rdtstudios]

I returned my Samyang because of the nasty cool tones which i don't like

[@cameraprepper7938]

I do not want any of those, I have the Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar 35mm 2.8 ZA which is light and small, to carry any where. ! also have the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 35mm 2.0 Aspherical which have outstanding optical image quality - second to none !
