Samyang XP 14mm F2.4
- Thread starter ajfotofilmagem
- Start date
Thank you! This provides a good look at the flare, which looks better than what I get with my Canon 24mm 1.4 II. I am still waiting for a review that includes focus shift, but that will likely show up before my lens gets shipped in three months.

I'm seriously considering this as a replacement for my Tamron 15-30mm 2.8, which I only use for astro anyway. It shaves a good 400g off the weight, so it'd be a bit easier to lug around. Kind of torn between this and the Samyang 24mm 1.4.

Off-topic, but do you use a tracker? If yes, which one and any problems with it?

Looks like this could be my first Ultrawide.
The few other reviews I can find are also overwhelmingly positive. Unfortunately it's still not very many, but at least the results have been consistent thus far.
Distortion isn't ideal, but it's probably low enough given all the other highly positive characteristics, the exceptional CA control is right up my alley.
The biggest problem is I can't find them at B&H.

I'm really keen to see Dustin's review of this lens. I was hoping it would be out before his Samyang 85mm 1.2 review, but oh well. Not like I'd be buying it for a few months anyway.
Nope, so far I don't use a tracker. I've only had two relatively successful shots of the night sky; both single exposures and then heavily processed. My next attempts will be with stacking to reduce noise. A tracker is on the list, though; haven't started researching them, though.

I've had mine on backorder there since 12/30/2016. They tell me it may ship end of March. They don't know why there is such a delay.
I really enjoy my Tokina 16-28, except for the flare problem, which precludes sunrise/sunset shots. And the edge softness. It appears the Samyang will be much better.

I have to drive hours for good sky and have had only one shoot, but it was enough to get me really interested. I acquired a KPS T5D to mount a tracker on. The KPS T5D is mounted on a Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 tripod. jrista and telemaq76 produce some fabulous photos, but their tracking systems are very expensive and jrista's weighs a lot. I want to be able to hike a few miles, so at this point, the Astrotrac is my choice.

I see that as a good thing; that Sigma really interests me. If I'm lucky, there will be LensTip, Dustin Abbot and Photozone reviews of both out there by then.
