Fast all around zoom covering all focal lengths between 35mm and 150mm. The Samyang AF 35-150mm F2-2.8 FE has a maximum aperture of F2 at its widest and F2.8 at the telephoto end, which covers the five main focal lengths (35/50/85/135/150).
I have the Tamron version of this lens and I love it . I know the Samyang/Rokinon version is hit or miss but this is the lowest I've ever seen it.

just worried about some of the build quality or lens creep reports out there. But at $900 is it worth taking the plunge? Ny current zoom is sonys 24-240 but that is obviously not fast at all with f/3.5 at the wide end and getting only f/6.3 as fastest option at zoom end. Thinking of maybe selling that to pick this one up instead....

Build quality is ok but you might have issues with the AF Tracking speed is not as fast as tamron to catch your fast moving kids
Unsure whether the OEM warranty is included at this price point. It's still lower than what they go for on the used market.

This lens has an insane specs/design, which makes this even more unexpected.
They are the same

They're the exact same things made by Samyang. I bought it 4 months ago from BH. It works well but not perfect. The tube will slide down if putting downward vertically. It's ok for personal using because its price. Don't recommend for professionals especially wedding photographers. It's very annoying while switching cameras.
