    • A fun lens
Style: Sony E
This lens is actually a lot of fun. It is plastic constructed but the build feels pretty solid. There's no manual focus switch as far as I can tell but autofocus mostly does fine. Bit of a challenge for night photography though (star stacking) but nothing major. The wide angle of this lens really looks crisp and nice in most shots. The auto focus works well, but it sounds a bit crunchy compared to maybe a better quality lens. Still, over all works well and photos look good for the price. ... show more

    • Man, so close but its totally worth it
Style: Sony E
I got it for $199 and I have to say, this is one of the best lenses you can get for that price for APS-C, although that seemed to be an exception, I have to admit the image quality is outstanding and will do wonders for real estate work if you don’t have a FF camera. My only gripe is the AF, which I’m grateful to even have it, since it has a bit of hunting even in well lit conditions, so on low light you are better off with Manual Focus Also the image has a natural softness and the lens has an appropriate weight to keep it during travels or a whole shoot without getting tired. ... show more

    • Maybe the best deal in ultra wide lenses
Style: Sony E
I recently purchased the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF Ultra Wide Angle lens for my Sony camera and I am blown away by the results. The build quality of the lens is top-notch and it feels solid in my hands. The autofocus is lightning fast and accurate, and the images are sharp and crisp with vivid colors. I am particularly impressed with the ultra wide angle perspective this lens offers, allowing me to capture stunning landscapes and cityscapes with ease. The F2.0 aperture is also great for low light situations, giving me the flexibility to shoot in a wide range of lighting conditions. Considering the price of this lens, it's an absolute steal. It's difficult to find a lens of this quality and performance at such an affordable price point. Overall, I would highly recommend the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF Ultra Wide Angle lens to any Sony camera user looking for a fantastic deal on a high-quality wide angle lens. ... show more

    • Amazing but check Firmware
Style: Sony E
Amazing lens but if you get one that the continuous autofocus doesn’t seem to work and constantly hunts, you need to update the firmware. Sony changed their autofocus algorithm a bit and a lot of Samyang lenses stopped working properly. You will need to buy the Samyang lens station to update the firmware or maybe a camera store near you will let you use one. Once the firmware is updated the lens works perfectly =) Sure it’s annoying you have to buy a separate item just to update it, but that’s not Amazons fault. ... show more

    • Severe focus breathing on Sony a6700
Style: Sony E
I really wanted to like this lens. However, it exhibits severe focus breathing on the a6700 Sony on auto focus settings. It is pretty much to the point where it is not usable in AF mode. I thought perhaps I got a bad lens, but after internet searches I found that a number of people have had this problem on the a6700 with this lens in AF mode. Apparently, it was not the case using it with the a6400. Some think that a software update will correct it in the future on the a6700. Until then it's going back. ... show more

    • Great lens for Sony A6700
Style: Sony E
Just received this Lens so this is an initial review. Lens is very sharp at f2 and even sharper at f2.8. Close-up photos are sharp. The focus fast but not Sony OEM lens fast. Be sure to update the lens firmware to version 3 or you will get non-stop focus hunting in continuous focus mode. You will have to purchase the Samsung docking station to perform firmware updates. I purchased this lens used from Amazon and the condition was like new. The used price makes this an excellent value. Also, the lens hood cannot be reversed and stored on the lens due to the shape of the lens body. The lens is so small that leaving the small lens hood attached doesn't take up much additional space. The negatives so far are 1) the lens hood cannot be reversed (minor annoyance) and 2) you have to purchase a separate dock for lens updates. I'll update the review after I use the lens more if necessary. So far, highly recommend! ... show more

    • Excellent lens AFTER firmware update
Style: Sony E
As other Sony A6700 owners have mentioned, auto focus is poor on an A6700 until you update the lens firmware from V02 to V03. The firmware upgrade requires that you buy a Rokinon or Samyang Lens Station for $30-$60. The software needed is free from the Rokinon or Samyang website. I purchased this lens in October 2025. The lens firmware was updated from V02 to V03 in December 2023, twenty months earlier, yet it came with the older firmware. At least the upgrade was easy, and the V03 upgrade provides a massive improvement of lens focusing. Before purchasing the lens I knew that it was likely that I would have to have to buy a Lens Station. ... show more

    • Budget friendly wide angle that does the job.
Style: Sony E
I don't shoot wide angle often so I didn't want to spend a alot. I am doing video with this lens on a sony a7 iii. I'm not one of those super technical people so I'll just say what my experience has been. First, this thing is built really light but with quality. Also, for 12mm, I was worried about if I didn't have time to switch lenses, would this 12mm be too wide to capture people...AND ITS NOT. Of course theres some level of skewing the perspective, but thats too be expected on 12mm lens. Lastly, when I put the footage next to my Sigma 28-70mm 2.8, in post, theres no drop off in quality. Now that I have this, I'm going to see what other budget lenses Samyang may have because I'm pleased with this one! ... show more
