As a tilt-shift lens option, Samyang offers a very economic opportunity with optimal quality for all photographers to taste tilt-shift experience. Unless users go "pixel-peeping", the quality is nice and sufficient. The ideal aperture is f/8 for best sharpness.
Pros:
- 1
- Very economic opportunity to use tilt-shift lens, 2
- Nice build quality but one "tick" lower grade than Canon, 3
- Nice aperture control ring, 4
- Nice resolution when not tilted, not shifted
- 5
- Light-weight and sturdy
Cons:
- 1. Lock switches release lock completely when you turn them a bit 2. Tilted and shifted images have lower resolution at the edges 3. Focus ring is very easy to rotate
- not well damped

Great alternative to $2K Nikon
I bought this lens for architectural photography and I'm thrilled with it. The ability to tilt and shift simultaneously is a tremendous advantage over the Nikon, to say nothing of the 67% savings in cost. Sharpness is excellent between f/8 and f/11, and distortion is minimal and easy to fix in post.

Samyang T-S 24mm F3.5 ED AS UMC
Even if it sold at its $1,299 MSRP, the Samyang T-S 24mm F3.5 ED AS UMC lens would be an excellent value when compared with first-party lenses like the Nikon PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5 ED ($2,199.95) and the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II ($1,899).
Pros:
- Wide-angle field of view
- Full-frame coverage
- Very affordable
- Shift, tilt, and rotation adjustment
Cons:
- Some barrel distortion
- Should be stopped down for best image quality
- Flare can be an issue

I had to pass on this one
I opted to purchase this lens for use on my D600 instead of purchasing the Nikon version because the Nikon 24mm tilt/shift lens carried on the same tradition as their other tilt/shift lenses of not having these two functions rotate independently of one another.

A brilliant photographic technique to explore!
A top quality product that allows the photographer to include some real improvements to landscapes and close-ups. Expensive but treat yourself!

Costing considerably less than other tilt & shift lenses, the new Samyang T-S 24mm boasts an impressive set of features and excellent build quality. But how will it perform when put through our tests?

REVIEW: Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC Lens Review
Handling and features Tilt-shift lenses are normally so expensive that many photographers cannot justify the cost, despite its benefits with control of the focal plane and of distortion.
