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,...

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

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

I use this lens as my preferred option for landscapes. As such I make use of the tilt and shift functions for a majority of the images I make with the lens. Between f8 and f16 the sharpness is quite comparable to the Nikon version when movements are used and the ability to adjust the shift axis in...

Consistent Output; Lightweight; Relatively Affordable; Very Sharp From F8 To F16

There Is A Learning Curve

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.

Durable; Strong Construction

Not quite as sharp as the very best primes, but still very acceptable.If you need such a lens for specialist functions (i.e. architecture and product shots) then there is no other choice for a Sony.Really it is the tilt feature that makes it worthwhile, as much of the shift can be achieved in post...

Smooth Operation; Solid construction
