The smooth manual focusing ring can be a joy to work with, using damping which is not very rigid and not too gentle. Individuals who capture video on a DSLR and have a tendency to use manual focus, will find this kind of lens perfect, due to the excellent manual focusing action and capacity to segregate a subject via shallow depth of field. The focusing ring is generously wide and it has a ridged, rubberized grip band, because this is a manual focus lens only, you will find a range scale that goes from the closest distance of 30cm to infinity.

Chromatic aberrations, generally viewed as purple or blue fringes alongside contrasty sides, are remarkably effectively manipulated using this lens. One of several reasons to obtain a fast lens is usually to be in a position to isolate the subject from the background, which can be generally very difficult to accomplish with an ultra wide lens. Samyang was evidently greatly knowledgeable of this, as they used an iris diaphragm with 8 rounded blades to get a attractive rendering of the out-of-focus highlights.

Focusing is conducted within the body of the lens hence the Samyang 35mm isn't going to change length and the filter thread will not rotate, and so it´s ideal for employing further filters on to the lens. As a manual-focus lens, it is a comfort that the Samyang’s manual-focus ring is easily reached. It is dampened superbly and performs smoothly.
