Samyang 135mm f1.8 Photo & Video Review - A7IV, A7III, A7sIII

Photos edited with my Disposable Film Lightroom Preset Pack: https://www.digitalfilmactions.com/li...

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to share my real world review of the new Samyang 135mm f1.8 AF lens for Sony E mount. I'm using the Samyang 135mm f1.8 on the A7IV and A7III for photography and the A7sIII for video. This lens was loaned to me from the Samyang distributor in Australia. My review is not sponsored by Samyang and not reviewed by them before it goes live - all opinions are my own from my experience of using the lens.
