Opinion:Used for a month on A7C. Super portable and cheap, good AF, shots with surprising rendering for colors, contrast and above all sharpness already at TA. Very good bokeh. It's the wide-angle of my set of little Samyang (24 f1.8, 45 f1.8 and 75 f1.8). Taken as a replacement for a disappointing 18 f2.8, I fell in love with it immediately. Better build quality than the 18 and 45, at the level of the 75.
Pros:Small, light, bright, sharp, fast AF, allows you to use the fire ring for apertures, finally the colors do not pull too much to yellow
Cons:Plastic construction
Opinion:Bought a bit hesitant but I fell in love with it immediately. For now used for the street, I hope to bring it to make star very soon. The lens is quality, focuses very fast and is sharp. The blurry is nervous, but for the street it goes well. The only flaw is precisely the body that is totally plastic, compared to its cousins that are metal. but this allows it to weigh very little so it is also an advantage. Seen also the price is a bargain.
Pros:Tropicalization, low price, lightness, possibility of mounting screw filters, autofocus, led light for focusing on infinity
Cons:very light coma in the edges only at full aperture between 1.8 and 2.8, over disappears completely
Opinion:I have been trying the lens for some time and I must say that compared to the past Samyang has made great strides. Now we have not only tropicalized lenses but also equipped with autofocus. In this model of the Tiny series we also have a particular function that with an LED that lights up either red or green, indicates the correct focus on infinity. The lens suffers from a very slight coma visible only at very open apertures of f/1.8-2.8 but which lens is exempt from it?? It resists very well to flares almost to avoid the problem altogether. Great sharpness and great image quality in all situations and at all apertures. Suitable not only for landscape designers but also for other genres.
Pros:Light, good optical quality, little coma and astigmatism, bright the right.
Cons:plasticous.
Opinion:I was finally able to experiment with this perspective in the field for which they say it was designed, which is landscape astrophotography. I must say that the behavior in my opinion is good. I do not use the astro tracker for now so I use the fully open optics to perform panoramas that I then combine via software. For now there is no special profile on photoshop, but the profile of the samyang 24mm f2.8 is quite good, when a dedicated one comes out things will be even better. In reality the only "problem" is represented by a bit of vignetting that is completely removed from lighroom. e' present eun little coma and astrigmatism in the stars in the edges, those in the center are pointy, we are still a step ahead of the sony 28mm f2 that I used previously for this type of photo. The lens allows you to shoot at ISO2000 F1.8 20" and pull out a good dynamic range and a little color from the bulge of the Milky Way. At 20 "that would be the time that jumps out of the rule of 500 you still notice a slight stripe especially in the edges, but to have better you should use the tracker. The infinite autofocus function is useful at night but on sony a7iii once set it only allows you to shoot because it blocks all the rest of the functions until the machine restarts, which if one wants to review the photos on the spot is not the best. I shot with the factory infinity setting and the photos seem to me correctly in focus, but I'll try to see the next opportunity if there's any way to focus on the stars even better. The judgment in my opinion is very good, I state that I have never tried the 24mm GM that being at f1.4 probably brings out even better, certainly as a dynamic range, I do not know how coma and astigmatism. I state that I took this lens only for landscape astrophotography and that in practice I use it only for this purpose, preferring for other types of photos, other types of lens. Here some photos I took, I will add more as I take them: https://www.flickr.com/photos/antoniopedroniphoto/albums/72157719488388313 Here single photos taken at iso 2000, f1.8, 20" to judge the yield: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DTbw0uNWxX-UPW68P0kXuj8AA43vEsLm?usp=sharing
Pros:Excellent flare hold, beautiful star effect, lens also designed for astrophotography
Cons:Sometimes the blurry is a little 'nervous'
Opinion:Finally after a long wait came! It is to try a little to bring out all its potential. Excellent flare hold with a nice star effect, the blurry at 1.8 in certain situations is not very soft, excellent sharpness, excellent stinger that switches the focus in manual preset to infinity. As soon as the weather conditions allow, I will test it for astrophotography and update this first review of mine. For the time being I am very satisfied.
