  • Neo

    The Chinese appear to have already stamped autofocus lenses a whole bunch. I would buy 18 mm baby, but not for $ 400

    • Roman

      Samyang is a Korean firm.

  • R2D2

    FF lenses on mirrorless cameras are cheaper than sigma art, I generally keep quiet about canon.
    And the weight is many times lighter, it remains one thing to understand whether they are worth their money, or give some kind of miserable color of their own.

    • Roman

      The Koreans have reverse-engineered the autofocus technology, but they could not steal the color. Therefore, they have a ragged spectrum, certain patented wavelengths cannot be stolen, in part of the spectrum there is re-emission into hard ultraviolet light (and they also say that it gets to gamma quanta) - I do not advise, religious feelings may suffer.

      • Alexander

        Did you understand what you wrote ...? nonsense…

        • Roman

          Truth? More delusional than "poor color"?

          • Michael

            Generally yes

      • Vyacheslav

        I almost ran away from the site. Curiosity stopped. :-)

    • Vladimir

      In general, mirrorless lenses make it possible to make the widths much more compact and at the same time with excellent characteristics.
      In practice, this concerns not very light fixes, type 35 / 2.8, 28/2, or this samyang. The main thing is that there should be no problems with the motor, otherwise there were complaints about previous Samyangs.

      • Michael

        In general, they don't allow it yet ...

        • Roman

          Canon 20 / 2.8 with rather terrible characteristics under 72 mm filters. Strong vignette and wild field curvature. So this KB version is much smaller and I don’t think is worse. About the size 16-35 / 2.8, I think, no need to talk.

  • Jankowsky

    Something tells me that Sigma 19 \ 2.8 DN Art for 8000 r in the BU market, it will sink in all respects. Judging by the wild sharpness that gets 60 \ 2.8 DN, I don’t need to prove anything. No Samyangs for 400 bucks nafig not needed

    • Michael

      The main question is how much is new)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Sigma 19mm 1: 2.8 DN Art only for crop

  • Bogdan

    Douzhe satisfaction about the asset.
    For astro-photography, just a sorcerer. Especially the rainbow and the dimensions. On a hike - those who need it
