so i've been looking for a wide angle lens for my a6400 because i'm going on a hiking trip to Colorado next month and really want some big landscape shots. i saw everyone recommends the Sigma 16mm f1.4 but honestly it looks kinda bulky for a backpack and might be over my $350 budget anyway.
then i saw the Samyang 12mm f2 which is super cheap but i keep hearing it's manual focus only... or is there an AF version now? my logic was that wider is better for the mountains but i dont want to carry a brick. is there a hidden gem i missed or something...?

Over the years, I've hiked miles through the Rockies and learned the hard way that weight is your worst enemy. I'd definitely grab the Samyang AF 12mm F2.0 Sony E.
- There is an autofocus version now, and it's super snappy.
- In my experience, it's way lighter than that Sigma brick and fits your budget perfectly... basically a landscape dream.
