| comment: | Purchased this on offer in the UK. Very disappointed after the positive reviews - my first Samyang lens. Although sharp across the frame, with good colour rendition, the levels of purple fringing in shots with contrast was shocking. And to cap it all, the front ring where the lens hood attached was fitted incorrectly so the hood locked at 45 degrees off to where it should be! I'm amazed it got past QC! |

| positive: | Size and weight Sharp wide-open Very low distortion Focus speed and accuracy Seals |
| negative: | Vignetting (less than the F2.8 primes) Axial and Lateral CA Some coma in corners |
| comment: | I had been waiting for months for this lens to become "available soon" as it continued to be promised. I ordered it direct from buyrokinon.com with another Lens Station thrown in for free. "MADE IN KOREA" Initial testing is very good--comparable to the large Tamron SP 35mm F1.8 with somewhat more vignette. It is sharper at F2.8 than their little 35mm F2.8. AF-S accuracy is good. |
