Samyang T-S 24mm F/3.5 ED AS UMC for Sony E - BRAND NEW review
Some lenses are introduced and quickly revert to near anonymity, while others garner a great deal of photographer interest – even prior to their availability. This lens fell into the latter category, which prompted me to promptly get my hands on one. The reason for this interest?

REVIEW: Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC Lens Review
Handling and features Tilt-shift lenses are normally so expensive that many photographers cannot justify the cost, despite its benefits with control of the focal plane and of distortion.

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

The ONLY choice for Sony!
Not quite as sharp as the very best primes, but still very acceptable.<br /><br />If you need such a lens for specialist functions (i.e. architecture and product shots) then there is no other choice for a Sony.
Pros:
- Smooth Operation
- Solid construction
Cons:
- Small Knobs Levers

Very Specialized, but good
This is not a lens for everyone, but if you're reading this, you know that. I find it very useful for three specific situations: To increase the depth of field without stopping down into diffraction (f11 max), To control perspective distortion when forced to aim upward (such as when photographing...

Don't expect to take a lens similar to Canon or Nikon T-S lens... Has very smooth focus ring. Maybe it could have a F32 aperture option. The lock buttons are solid but don?′t pass this idea. The box and package is not very good also.

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
