    So people aren’t buying this because Julia Trotti probably reviewed a bad copy or didn’t update firmware? 🧐

    • @Tudor_Mateescu
      @Tudor_Mateescu  Рік тому

      Probably... I'm using from that moment and no problems on Sony A7RIII who is not the fastest Sony camera in town :)

      @thegeorgewinters Рік тому +2

      There's no firmware update. She's too quick for the lens. Also, she used to GM glass... Tudor is right though, the lens doesn't miss focus. But, it takes forever to focus sometimes - deal breaker for wedding photography.

      @@thegeorgewinters too quick? I can’t imagine portrait sessions being that fast paced. Plus there are some GM lenses that have subpar AF performance. A lot of the critiques of this lens sounded like rehashed statements from the first gen model. The only reason why I’m skeptical is because they completely rehoused the 50 into a smaller body which should improve focus speed considering the elements don’t have to travel as far. I used the first gen copy and my main issues were the motor noise and the sluggish focus in low light.

      That girl didn't even hold the camera in a stable position. Her arms were wide open when every beginner knows it's a principle to keep the camera body stable close to your body. The environment, wind, and her own fatigue could affect the sharpness.

    I own this lens and totally enjoy it. It may be a bit slower for a fast situation but it is bearable. The sharpness is a class on its own. Glad someone feels the same.

    We have the lens and there is no focusing problem. There is only one UA-camr who claimed the lens has focusing problem but she's wrong as that is an issue with the A7IV and not the Samyang 50mm f1.4 MkII. Glad I am not the only one who loves this lens :)

    Tudor, I have just purchased this lens and I was planning to return it to WEX, unopened, having seen the appalling review by a portrait photographer. She said essentially that the AF was unusable! Do you still feel that the AF is acceptable? I wanted the Samyang 50mm f1.4 because of its small size, light weight and f1.4 aperture. I’m nervous about keeping the lens and would appreciate you comments. Alun

      The af with Sony a7iii, will be ok? I am confused, Between the samyang 50 1.4 FE ii and the sony 55 1.8 fe,
      which of the 2 has a better focus system? Can you help me
      because I want to buy one of the 2. What would you suggest. ?

      It's possible if there is such an adapter, personally I would buy a dedicated lens for the canon mount.

    I guess you've used electronic front curtain shutter while using large aperture and fast shutter speeds. It makes the bokeh look ugly.

    • @Tudor_Mateescu
      @Tudor_Mateescu  2 роки тому +2

      For me yes, I prefer the 50mm field of view and the f1.4. But 55 f1.8 it's also a good choice... But f1.4 it's a magical aperture ;)

    Tudor, in aps-c you get 50x1.5=75 and 1.4x1.5=2.1. Just the brigtness stays at 1.4.
