Description — Samyang 35mm f/1.4 II
The Samyang 35mm f/1.4 II is a full-frame prime lens with a 35mm focal length and a f/1.4 maximum aperture, designed for photographers who need a versatile wide-aperture standard lens. It is available in five mount options: Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Micro Four Thirds, making it one of the more broadly compatible lenses in its category. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, offering flexibility across different shooting styles and subjects.
Weighing 645g, it has a solid, substantial build appropriate for a fast full-frame prime. The 77mm filter thread allows for easy use of standard circular filters without the need for step-up rings in most cases. There is no image stabilization, so steady shooting technique or in-body stabilization will be important for handheld use at slower shutter speeds.
Whether you are shooting street photography, environmental portraits, or landscapes, the 35mm focal length and f/1.4 aperture provide a strong combination of field of view and light-gathering capability.
