I really wanted to get a wide angle lens for my Sony A7SIII and A7IV full frame but didn't want to break the bank. I found this Samyang 18mm f/2.8 FE lens for the Sony E Mount Full frame cameras and WOW. This lens is just perfect for my needs as it's a fast, sharp lens with great auto focus !

    Very light, compact, portable, without apparent distortion and sharp. Very sharp. Since 2020 is always in my bag as my second lens.

    This is definitely the best lens for vlogging. It's super light, wide, and sharp. If you break it some how being out and about it's super cheap to find used for $200-$230. This lens, the 135mm F1.8 and 35-150mm F2-2.8 is the Holy Trinity of Samyang/Rokinon Glass.

    Bro, I recently bought a Samyang 18mm lens for my Sony A7C II, but unfortunately, the autofocus is really bad. While vlogging, it doesn't detect my face most of the time. I checked the firmware of the lens, and it's on version 3; I think the latest version is 8. I don't have a lens dock to update the lens. Could you please advise me? Would it be better to return the lens, or will updating the firmware make a difference?

    I have a A7 IV and trying to vlog with it on my Zhiyun Crane M2S, is not comfortable at all. Too heavy. Perhaps this lens could make walk and talk vlogging more practical. With no noticeable distortion, attractive price, tiny size, and wonderful sharpness, the only things holding me back are the lack of weather/dust sealing gasket and the need to have the samyang lens dock to update the firmware, (hassle & expense).
