I do like the Samyang, cheap and fun

[AEspolong]

Yes..Samyang is cheap but quality is nice...

I tried it out for street photography, even when you really close and take the photo - you feel like you should have got closer

Nice....worth the $300++ samyang lens 14mm

Quick photo from my A7ii and Samyang 14mm using the play memories app Smooth Motion as the Samyang does not allow the use of filters. 30 images merged into one in-camera.

Not a perfect photo I know.

It's an easy photo to make using just the smooth motion app in the camera. First select the type of effect your after (I selected smooth water) then just point and shoot really. The camera sets how many photos it will take and merge into one judging by the amount of available light. On this particular day the camera took 30 shots @ 1/6 of a second each. Although the app forces you to shoot JPEG this one came out at around 25mb in size.

Below is a link to the same type of photo only its been taken with the sony 35f2.8

Almost forgot to add that they have both been through Lightroom 5 and had an HDR preset added just to add a bit of POP.

Thank you so much Rudeboy

I like this lens a lot. Mine came with a free filter holder from the factory.

Hi is there any chance you could post a photo of the 14mm Samyang with the filter holder attached please? I'd love to get my hands on one.

[JoeriPeeters]

I'm on a business trip at the moment so I do not have my A7II and Samyang lens with me.

Will do that next week. I do not have a filter yet, only the holder.

 

This is how it looks on a Canon: As you can see it is very large!

Thanks for that info Vstream. It looks massive.

[AEspolong]

Thanks Vstream

[JoeriPeeters]

As promised I quickly took a few pics of the Samyang Lens holder attached to the Sony A7 II. 

It's very difficult to remove the filter from the lens.

 

[Heyrudeboy]

Thank you ever so much for the photos. That has to be the largest filter holder I have ever seen.

I like but don't love my Rokinon 14.  Took it on vacation and it was fun, but just a bit cumbersome.  I'll be selling on the eBay shortly.  Nice pics, though (https://flic.kr/p/qie5J4)
