| comment: | I enjoy this lens very much, it is sharp and the focusing is very smooth. The distortion seems to be the only problem but as other reviewers have mentioned it can be corrected with PT Lens. What needs to be pointed out is that this lens gives a very smooth bokeh which is quite surprising for an ultra wide angle and significantly better than the Tokina 11-16 which can be quite restless in some situation. As I am comparing already with the Tokina, from my copies the Samyang is sharper at 14mm. |
