Sorry they're just snaps for the time being, I now need to learn how to use such an extreme wideangle effectively! And I need a spirit level for my hotshoe! 
This lens has some serious resolution  Vignetting is high wide open (I like it!) but goes away at f5.6.

Funny how KRockwell says this lense is pretty much crap. Pretty much how I feel about his reviews. |

Main point of criticism is the wave-like distortion. Good to see on # 7 at the shop counter or table (don´t know exactly what it is) or on # 5 with the pavement.

Yep, distortion is there alright But apparently (I can't confirm this, I can't afford other lenses this wide) it is no worse than other lenses in this range

You are right Graham. I mentioned this only because this is always the main point within reviews here in German magazines. You can see this on your images - but only sometimes. Depending of the scenery you will see it or not.

Yep, although I believe there is an Adobe profile for this crazy lens now? I will probably need this if I am to start taking serious photos with this one The VW picture shows the distortion very clearly (I should have mentioned that this was the distortion test, but you are correct, the Shakeaway counter also shows it too).

Incredible! Looking at the far left edge of your very first image I can detect almost NO barrel distortion. That is amazing for a 14mm rectilinear.
Fantastic sharpness, contrast and color as well. Thanks so much for posting these images. I hope that facility in Sendai gets back on its feet soon.

That is some sharp lens. The crop of #5 shows the Half Price sign in the widow of a shop that is unrecognizable in the full shot.
I showed my wife & said I want this lens & she responded " when are you getting it?". You see, she is used to me buying lenses for under $50.

Woww!! That's awesome.
I think Graham sample photos already represent the character of the lens very well. No need samples from me
Ok, just 1 additional photo
Top left & bottom right sharpness. It's at f/8-f/11.

After a 2.5 mile hike to the back-side of Enchanted Rock (central Texas) with my son's Boy Scout troop late last Friday evening we arrived at our campsite. This was my first and last shot for the night. It was about 11pm and I was carrying 4 liters of water, two DSLRs, 3 lenses, tent, bag, and all the rest of the stuff needed for primitive camping. My backpack was roughly twice the weight it should have been.
This is a 20 second exposure at f/2.8 and ISO 1600. Taken with a Canon 5D Mark II and the Samyang 14/2.8 UMC lens.
Where will we go?

This is such a f**king great lens
Great pics from NY and Vegas
The flaring in the last shots looks strange. It's shot through a window, right?
This lens is identical with the Vivtar 13mm F2.8 bye the way.

Cool shots. Have you done anything to correct distortion or are these straight from the camera? APS-C sensor, I presume? |
