To tell you the truth when I look at the results of the improved Samyang I open my eyes wide with amazement. I don’t remember any other wide-angle lens reaching such high MTFs on the D3x or the D200. The Samyang, even wide open, has a very high MTF50 value, reaching 44 lpmm; by f/4.0-5.6 it achieves almost record-breaking results, amounting to 46-47 lpmm. It’s worth reminding here that the best and the most expensive lenses, tested on the D200, had results at the level of 47-48 lpmm but you must remember that the D200 sensor is able to produce results by 1-2 lpmm higher than the D3x sensor. The new Samyang fares simply sensationally in the frame centre! Its results are significantly higher than those of the Nikkor 14-24 mm f/2.8, so praised by us, set at 14 mm!


I purchased this lens on preorder when it was first announced. My first impressions of this lens were very favorable....however, it's just too wide for my tastes.

Not a glass issue, but i see the moiré. This lens must be really sharp!

It is indeed very, very sharp.

The lens has two downfalls. The distortion(which is honestly on par for most things in this range) and after taking several night shots, I've found it to flare against bright tungsten/halogen night lights. Only in long exposures. I don't know if this happens with every lens....I've not shot much at night. It will NOT flare against the sun.
