Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC
At around a third of the price of the Canon and Nikon alternatives, the Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC is an affordable and most importantly excellent quality alternative to the OEM offerings, that's if you can live with the lack of auto-focusing and on the Canon version the transfer of metering...

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 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC review
Samyang has long been a minor player in the UK lens market, but with supply improving, new releases extending the company's range and each model available in most of the popular lens mounts, Samyang may just find itself emerging from the shadows.
