Samyang 14/2.8 FE - first review just in - Rover - 09-12-2016

Looks promising. The distortion is still there but if the figures are cross comparable between PZ and EPZ, it's a lot less severe than with the "dumb" lens. Around the value we saw in - say - the 17-40L at 17mm. On the downside, the lens is not weather sealed.

I guess the Sony users are going to start jettisoning the old 14s...

BTW... Samyang just announced a 14 f/2.4 "premium" lens...

That's just more of the "same old" though. Manual focus - and presumably no coupling whatsoever in the Canon version. Don't they ever want to evolve? I thought so when they did a couple of modern lenses in FE mount, but it looks like they're stuck in the rut with everything else.
