Samyang T-S 24mm F3.5 ED AS UMC
Even if it sold at its $1,299 MSRP, the Samyang T-S 24mm F3.5 ED AS UMC lens would be an excellent value when compared with first-party lenses like the Nikon PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5 ED ($2,199.95) and the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II ($1,899).
Pros:
- Wide-angle field of view
- Full-frame coverage
- Very affordable
- Shift, tilt, and rotation adjustment
Cons:
- Some barrel distortion
- Should be stopped down for best image quality
- Flare can be an issue

As a tilt-shift lens option, Samyang offers a very economic opportunity with optimal quality for all photographers to taste tilt-shift experience. Unless users go "pixel-peeping", the quality is nice and sufficient. The ideal aperture is f/8 for best sharpness.
Pros:
- 1
- Very economic opportunity to use tilt-shift lens, 2
- Nice build quality but one "tick" lower grade than Canon, 3
- Nice aperture control ring, 4
- Nice resolution when not tilted, not shifted
- 5
- Light-weight and sturdy
Cons:
- 1. Lock switches release lock completely when you turn them a bit 2. Tilted and shifted images have lower resolution at the edges 3. Focus ring is very easy to rotate
- not well damped
