Samyang 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC Tilt-Shift Lens (Rokinon/Bower) Review
Some lenses are introduced and quickly revert to near anonymity, while others garner a great deal of photographer interest – even prior to their availability. This lens fell into the latter category, which prompted me to promptly get my hands on one. The reason for this interest?

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.

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?

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

Tilt-and-shift lenses feature the film-plane-movement control normally associated with large-format monorail or studio cameras. They are considered to be very specialist kit designed for architectural and landscape photography where adjustment of the plane of focus and distortion control are key...

The brand new Samyang 24mm with tilt & shift functionality is a full-frame, wide-angle lens that will soon be available to buy with a Canon, Nikon, Sony or Pentax mount.

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.

Don't expect to take a lens similar to Canon or Nikon T-S lens... Has very smooth focus ring. Maybe it could have a F32 aperture option. The lock buttons are solid but don?′t pass this idea. The box and package is not very good also.

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
