Thanks for the review Dustin! I bought 16mm version of this lens and I am quite satisfied with it. Optically nearly perfect lens. This 11mm version could be more useful for vlogs but except that I think 16mm version is a much better lens in terms of image quality.

Thanks for sharing

That's a genius idea 💡

Certainly one I wouldn't mind seeing rolling out to other lenses.

Great review, as always mr. Abbott!👌Bought this lens some weeks ago, and discovered two things: Tack sharp in the middle, and somewhat "busy" softening at the edges, at landscape pictures. BUT, at close range, say between 20-60 cm, the edge-sharpness is much better. My old Samyang 12mm is sharp at the edges at all distances. But with fast, silent AF, aperture ring, af-manuel svitch, great sunstar, good flare/ghosting control (where the Samyang is horrible), it`s an incredible bang for the buck!! Will keep the Samyang for astro/some landscape shots though!

Sounds like a fair assessment to me.

Thank you Dustin, for this excellent and complete test ! As always. 👏😌 It clearly shows 2nd division players never stop wanting for more. Now, being active 50/50 in photo/video, I wonder about this remote and its actual usage and efficiency in video. Sony users now have the neat and clever M&C' application for camera control, and I use it nearly every time I go out filming. Only exception being when the scenes are fully action-packed. With this remote, I see some of the "control burden" being spread on another gear than the camera itself, making things (perhaps) easier in some ways. Did you have/take the time to use this remote in actual filming situations on the long haul ? And, if so, what are your thoughts about its utility ? Do not rush, but if you have some time for a little answer... thanks again !

Most of the time I have to move on to other pieces of gear after I review something because I constantly have 5-6 other lenses on the go for review, but I do think there is practical applications to this remote. You can do smooth, controlled focus pulls, for example, and you don't have to touch the lens/camera at all.

Very useful review. Just a question.. Is it possible to use the remote control to shot remotely?

@DustinAbbottTWI 29 күн бұрын

Yes it is.

@AWAShowme Ай бұрын

Thank you very much for this video. This lens is an interesting idea. I wonder how long before remote lens control is integrated into phone applications. For example, Sony could just add these options to their applications.

@DustinAbbottTWI Ай бұрын

That would be an interesting application.

Thank you very much for your excellent text review. Sony have a lesson to learn here, from a beginner in Lens manufactoring, a cheap lens that is mush better corrected for barrel distortion than Sony ! So here is to you Sony, you have to make your Lenses MUCH better, Sony Lenses should NOT need software to perform !!!

Fair enough.

Agh! I find the corner sharpness an issue - thanks so much for the review, you just saved me wasting money!

The Samyang 12mm f/2 was a well performing lens on APSC so if your saying the image quality is better on this, then that is a big achievement for the Yongnuo

@DustinAbbottTWI Ай бұрын

Exactly.
