Samyang 14mm f/2.8 surprise…a cheap high-quality lens for Sony Alpha cameras
I always check Photozone and their lens reviews. Their latest Samyang 14mm f/2.8 review is quite a surprise: http://www.photozone.de/canon_eos_ff/532-samyang14f28eosff. They tested the lens on a Canon but the same lens is also

A little bit weird that the lens is sold with 4 different brands (Samyang, Bower, Rokinon, Walimex)! That’s why on Amazon US you find it as “Rokinon 14mm f/2.8″ (click here).

Myst
2 years ago |the lens in also tested on lenstip.com and it didn’t turn out such a good score.

2 years ago |Sorry this lens doesn’t really looks very sharp in the samples on Photozone and i am not really surprised about the rest image quality, too much border softness, sorry it’s not a real alternative to other UWA-Zooms or Primes!
