Great shots Chris, looked a real tricky lens to use, but looked to produce top quality images once you got them focused, atb Mick 👍
Great Video, A great question, Thanks for sharing
Nice...!! Interesting and informative with some cracking images too. I have the Samyang 14mm RF Lens for a bit of Astro...tbh I quite like the fully manual feel - A bit more analogue and retro in a digital world. Cracking film as always 👍👍 - T🙂
Nice, I still have a 12mm Samyang too. It’s ok, but only f2.8
Great video matey, I think these are pretty much best kept for studio work, and as a paper weight lol
A door stop? Ha
I dunno, quite enjoyed it tbh.
@@chrishomer Be interesting to see some long exposure shots from it, city nightscape style ones!
@@JamesHinesPhoto I definitely wouldn’t choose this lens for that, which is usually a good reason to try it 🤣
If you had to choose between the Samyang or the Laowa 65mm F2.8 macro lens, which is better?
No idea. Will pin this, maybe someone can answer
Nice.
Still using it over a year later, just filmed a video with it exclusively, for fun... czcams.com/video/8Myfh7kwLLo/video.html
Can you get a good and quick focus with focus peaking?
Yes
My Sony automatically zooms in ALOT when I manual focus. How did you set it up to not
Hmm I don’t recall if you can use breathing compensation on this one
is this compatible with Canon R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera?
No, this is Sony FE
Your a bit of a moany Malcolm aren't you. How often do you shoot when it's actually raining my friend? 🌧️☔
A lot, the next 3 days look wet, but I’m using a waterproof camera and lens
Focus peaking will help you. It''s not the lens, which, btw, is awesome, that cant get the focus, it's you ;)
Focus peaking? Come on, I’m a professional. 🤪 Ha, no seriously, I use it a lot. It was on in this video.
Not knocking the lens, it’s a great budget option. Still have it. It does have an in infinity focus issue, not that unusual for a lens designed for macro, but worth pointing out
Doesn't look like a focus peaking been used by you. As a macro, not really should be treated for its infinitive feature @@chrishomer
@@elwirastadnik nice to have on the Sony G though
