Samyang Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 AF II Lens for Sony E-Mount

72.1 Budget Score
35mm f/1.4 Sony E
Why we recommend this

Its fast f/1.4 aperture and full-frame coverage provide excellent low-light performance and a versatile 35mm focal length for street or portrait work. The lens includes a built-in customizable function switch for quick settings changes, a feature often reserved for more expensive models. It's best for Sony shooters who need a bright, general-purpose prime lens for stills and video, but its 658g weight makes it less ideal for travel.
