Samyang T-S 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC review

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

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).

Wide-angle field of view; Full-frame coverage; Very affordable; Shift, tilt, and rotation adjustment

Some barrel distortion; Should be stopped down for best image quality; Flare can be an issue

Really good quality images if stop it down a little.

Step it down a little and enjoy amazing quality images. Use it carefully and you won't have a problem. Im a full time pro with tons of the finest lenses and this was a really nice buy.
