Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE Review

88

The Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE lens is a great choice for those looking for a compact and lightweight lens for Sony full-frame cameras. It offers good image quality, especially when stopped down a bit, and is a great option for video work.

The lens is very enjoyable to use due to its small size and weight, making it a great option for taking on hikes or for travel. The lens performs well for video work, and although there is some visible vignetting at wider apertures, this is to be expected for a lens of this nature.

Pros
  • Great image quality
  • Compact and lightweight
  • Good for video work
  • Enjoyable to use for travel and hiking
Cons
  • Visible vignetting at wider apertures
  • Slight chromatic aberration at smaller apertures

The lens is very well designed, and while it may not be as sharp as the 35mm F2.8 FE lens, it still performs admirably for a wider focal length.
