Samyang 24mm f1.4 review

The Samyang 24/1.4 ED is the cheapest alternative to get a 24/1.4 full-frame lens. But don't forget that you give up the support of autofocus for the discount. And exact focus is critical for achieving optimal sharpness even at only 24mm focal length and the resulting large(r) depth of field.
Pros:
  • Good to very good performance across the frame of a high-resolution full-frame sensor at close range
  • Lowest price for a full-frame 24mm f1.4 lens
  • Soft Bokeh
  • Low coma and loCA
Cons:
  • Low contrast wide open in the center
  • Needs stopping down to f5.6 for optimum landscape performance
  • No autofocus
  • No weather sealing
  • Reduced / no communication between lens and body

Samyang 24 mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC Lens For Canon - Brand New review

It may be a bit embarrassing for the original manufacturers, but the Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC manages to produce a quality similar to its roughly double-priced counterparts. Admittedly, the 24mm f/1.4 suffers from slightly lower contrast at large apertures, but the resolution is already pretty...
