Great little lens for Sony full frame E mount at a bargain of a price. The reviews say it's nearly as good as the Sony Zeiss 35mm f/2.8.
This lens is TINY. Great for packing small and light, or if you want to look inconspicuous.
35mm is perfect for street photography and events.
CamelCamelCamel.
What spec do you look at to see the AF speed?
It's not blisteringly fast, but this review (for the same lens, different branding) says it's pretty decent.

"Autofocus performance is solid. It isn't as instantaneous as lenses with floating focus elements, but is about on par with Sony's own 85mm F1.8 and 50mm F1.4 Zeiss – certainly, swift enough for general use."
Thanks OP, picked one up, fills a gap in my Camera Bag.
You're welcome.
Interesting lens. Noticed people talking about AF noise. Guess it makes it useless for video if recording audio?
Possibly yeah, if it's noisy. Haven't done any research on this topic because I hardly ever shoot video.
Check out the Tamron which is a much better lens plus some macro capability

It's 265.93 and free shipping for prime.
It's a lot bigger, comments tend to indicate focus is slower and hunts. Based on what I've read think I prefer this lens and will stay with my order.
Slightly different use case. The Samyang is a pancake lens.
street photography desires quick AF, not sure if this is capable.
