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
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
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...

We've tested 21 different prime lenses, featuring “fast” f/2.8 or f/4 apertures, and wide-angle through to short telephoto focal lengths. There's a big range of scores on display, from a high of 25 points to a low of just 12 points, showing the importance...

Abstract: Nikon's mid-term refresh of the firm's hugely popular D800 and D800E models resulted in a single model, the D810. Like the D800E it aims to maximize the resolution of the full-frame 36-Mpix CMOS sensor and omits a modified AA filter completely. We've anal...

Abstract: In the first part of our comprehensive lens recommendations for the new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T5 / 1200D, we've assessed a raft of primes from both the maker and third parties to see how well they perform on the camera. As well as highlighting the b...

Given the price, the Samyang is a tempting choice but it lacks the outright performance of both the Nikkor and the Zeiss where it counts most for this type of lens. Nevertheless, performance is still very good at the wider-apertures, and as this model has...

Abstract: While I would like to complete a full Samyang 24mm f/1.4 US UMC Lens review in the future, please use the standard lens test results for now. ...
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 a...
