Probably a good lens but doesn't fit my camera I use Canon and ordered a Canon fit but got a Nikon mount. My review is really a criticism of the seller really careless.
Le DaoA very sharp lens which works incredibly well for both photography and videography! As long as you don’t mind the manual focus I would highly reccomend this lens - intact in gives you a greater satisfaction with the shot because you have to get the focus right!
Jordan E.Sadly i had to return this lens, i wanted this for more cropped in images of the milky way, but at F 1/4 you cant really focus to infinity and the stars are just a mess. You have to stop down to F 2/8 to be able to get sharp stars.
And you need to let in as much light as possible to keep the noise to a minimum

A. ThomasThis lens did not meet my expectation . Tried on a lot of shoot. Would return it.
Mr BPin sharp optics, 1st Samyang purchase......will not be my last......ok it's manual but on my d500 it's truly superb
P. BainesAs usual, top optical quality from Samyang. I own the 12mm, 35mm, 50mm & 85mm and can say that I like them much better than my Canon 135mm f2 or 16-35 f4. None of the Samyang lenses have autofocus, and to me this is an advantage as it makes me a better photographer. In the old days all lenses were manual, there was no Photoshop and yet legendary images were produced. I am using it with Magic Lantern focus peaking which makes manual focusing quick and accurate.

Mr. A. P. Hallgreat lens Great Price use it on an A7RII with Metabones V4 very sharp and heavy quality
LittletedWell wll well what a lens for the money using it on my sony A7rii with metabones convertor all I can say is faultless.. also noted that other places are selling this for nearly £300 and I paid just £166 bargain!!!!
Owen BarnfieldSamyang's 50mm F1.4 AS UMC is a fast-aperture, manual focus photo lens designed for full frame image sensors as well as APS-C and smaller sensors. The low F number allows precise control of depth of field as well as the ability to shoot in relatively dark environments. The lens features 9 lens elements in 6 groups including 1 glass aspherical lens (ASP), and 1 hybrid aspherical lens (H-ASP) to offer outstandingly high resolution. In particular, the H-ASP minimizes colour aberration to realise exceptional image quality and high contrast for centre to edge of every image, even when the aperture is fully opened. Samyang's Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) technology optimises the light transmission and minimises flare and ghosting. There are 8 rounded aperture blades which produce pleasing bokeh. The lens body is compact and solid, being made of high-strength aluminium alloy.
