Andrew Sydenham tests a 24mm tilt-and-shift lens, which seeks to deliver the technical advantages of a perspective control lens with focus tilt-and-shift in an affordable package

The brand new Samyang 24mm with tilt & shift functionality is a full-frame, wide-angle lens that will soon be available to buy with a Canon, Nikon, Sony or Pentax mount. The lens, which Samyang rates as the most advanced glass in its whole lens catalogue, contains 16 elements arranged in 11 groups,...

Smooth Operation; Solid construction
