    5.0 out of 5 stars What I hate about this lens.....
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I have had this lens for about two months now and recently put it through its paces on a trip to Portugal where I thought it would be almost exclusively used for interior architectural and late evening shooting. Actually, I found I really liked the 24mm length for just walking about as well.

    When paired with my A7C, this was a nicely balanced and very capable lens. Images were crisp and I found the subject isolation very pleasing at 1.8. Low light performance, including focusing, was simply stellar. I would say this lens is very hard to beat as a compliment to a mid range zoom such as the kit lens or a Tampon 28-75.

    Now for the bad...

    Honestly, the sharpness of this lens has become a burr under my skin as I can no longer be totally happy with the images from a zoom. Dammitt!!!! Even the wonderfully sharp 28-60 leaves a little to be desired, but this is the limitation of these zooms. I recently picked up the Tamron 28-200 and found it very disappointing in its resolution at 28mm. I think it will be going back today as a result. So, I think I will now be picking up another Samyang prime. Probably the 75 or 85.

    So, be warned.... This may be the lens that converts you to a prime lens shooter.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Lens
    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I got this lens after trying the Tamron 20mm 2.8 1:2 which while was nice lens wasnt as sharp as I'd like and a bit too wider than I liked. After looking at the reviews I decided to pay the difference and upgrade to the Samyang 24mm F1.8. This lens is outstanding my biggest hesitation was the autofocus because while Samyang is known for excellent optics they are still working out the kinks with the autofocus. I'm glad to say that this is excellent, I'm sure my Sony 85 f1.8 is technically faster but I can't tell. Distortion is pretty well handled which was another knock on the Tamron 20mm f2.8 1:2. I also love the added button which I use to switch to APS-c mode which give me 36mm at about 19MP on my A7R3, I also used the Lens Dock to change the switch to AF/MF this makes the lens more convient to use and definitely adds value. My one gripe is that there isn't a lens profile for the lens yet in Lightroom, but hopefully it comes soon.

    If you're looking for a sharp excellent focusing,feature packed wide angle prime this is it. There isn't anything else even close in the price range. Ofcourse I'm sure the Sony 24mm f1.4GM is superior but for my budget and the fact that I'm just a hobbyist I'll save $900.

    I just got the lens today so its too early to say if its a keeper but as of now, Its very promising. The pics I am sharing are without any editing. Straight out of the A73.

    My other considerations were the Sony 24mm 1.4 FE and Sony 20mm 1.8 FE. Both 3x and 2x more expensive then this lens.

    I am still testing its focusing speed and tracking capabilities. Seems fine so far.

    Pros:
    Lens feels higher quality then the 18mm 2.8 Samyang
    Images are sharp and colors are warm
    Fast focus on still images (videos TBD)
    Small and light weight

    Cons:
    Lens hood although better quality then 18mm lens still a little flimsy, specially when put on reverse
    Custom 1 and Custom 2 button behavior changes in A and S modes

    2.0 out of 5 stars Sharp image bad chromatic aberration
    Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    The photo quality is overall good but I'm definitely expecting more from this lens. The biggest problem is the chromatic aberration. Took two photos from same location with the 24mm/f1.8 lens (first pic) vs another brand's 28mm/f2.8 lens (second pic). The CA is way too strong when aperture is fully on. Searched online and it seems some other people are suffering from this issue as well, not sure if it's indeed a QC issue or a more general problem.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp little 24mm 1.8 affordable lens
    Reviewed in Canada on December 9, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    It is a very sharp lens, mostly center area. Vignetting is the trade off, easily noticed.
    Focusing is reasonable fast as a prime lens, compare with Sigma 24-70 2.8, I don’t see much delay when focusing. It has weather seal at the rear of the lens. Steel mount, plastic construction, but I will see that as an advantage, it’s light weight and compact size.
    No need a front filter for this price of lens, basically I would buy another one if I damage it. Night performance is good with the 1.8.
    Can’t complain for the price I got. Would love to buy the Samyang 45 1.8 in the further.

    It's sharp corner to corner even wide open, kinda weather sealed, has good AF and cheap. What else do you want!

    Yeah the build quality leaves something to be desired but it's easily forgiven when you consider the price. The lens does suffer from some chromatic aberration but it's nothing severe and can be easily corrected in post. The focus motor is fast and accurate, though first party Sony lenses are of course faster. Excellent value overall. The only negative is that it suffers from quite prominent LoCA.

    5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING Lens for Sony ZV-E10
    Reviewed in Australia on April 8, 2022

    I bought this "full-frame" lens for my Sony ZV-E10 APSC and it crops in from 24mm to 35mm and is perfect for video work with plenty of very pleasing light at F1.8, the background Bokeh just melts the background away and only leaves what is in focus, and for video focus pulls there is little breathing on focussing which is very pleasing.

    On the Sony ZV-E10 when you press the blurry background button with this lens... WOW, I love it!

    I'm just a beginning learning to use the different length prime lenses and these Samyang (Rokinon same thing) lenses are just amazing value and offer such incredible value.

    I was originally looking at the amazing Viltrox 1.8 line of lenses also, the Samyang's equivelants being a touch more expensive but the Samyang lenses have one thing up on the Viltrox in that they're all "weather sealed" and the Viltrox lens are not (I nearly bought the Viltrox, but glad I got the Samyang value).

    The sharpness of this lens has been impressing everyone who has viewed my photos. The autofocus is as fast and accurate as a Sony lens. Manual focus works perfectly with my A7 iv, too.

    The build quality feels solid. (I bought and returned a Samyang 35mm f/1.8 because the adjustment ring did not manual focus nor change aperture. I'm so glad that I took another chance with the 24mm Samyang.)

    I just love everything about this lens, and unreservedly recommend it.

    By the way, I paired it with a NiSi UV filter (C$32) which does not impair the lens in any way.
