Thanks, I was looking for a comparison video a couple of days ago before I bought the Samyang. It looks like I purchased the right one for me needs

Informative video and fair comparison, Tom. Thanks! As for Samyang, there is an additional unique point, that is the start-shooting mode as this lens is advertised as an astro photo tool.
@TomCalton2 жыл бұрын
Thanks buddy, appreciate the comment. Viltrox also promote their 24mm as an astro option (though, perhaps not as hard as Samyang and with less astro-specific features). However, this test was through the eyes of a portrait photographer, so the start-shooting mode isn't all that useful in that context.
@carloacetre6772 жыл бұрын
I had both the Viltrox and Samyang at one point (kept the Samyang), and I distinctly remember the Viltrox being significantly less sharp in the corners.
@Revan892 жыл бұрын
Awesome review Tom. I was waiting for this comparison. Im also happy you added a bokeh test using trees as background. That's way more telling about the boked quality of a lens than bokeh balls or a white brick wall. Thank you so much for taking that extra step. Personally I lean towards the Samyangs. I prefer a lighter lens with less vignetting. Plus the shorter minimum focusing distance makes it more fun.
@TomCalton2 жыл бұрын
You're more than welcome man - I agree, the new bokeh tests definitely show more. I'm glad the extra work is appreciated ☺️ Thanks as always for your support and kind words 🤜🤛

I bought the SY and Sony 24mm at the same time to compare. Sony was way better in build and slightly better in focusing speed. However, IQ was so close that I couldn't justify paying so much more for the Sony. I went with the SY. I love the weight of that little thing.
@JeanV19867 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comparison review. Weirdly enough, the bokeh improves quite a bit by stopping down to just f2.0 on the Samyang.

Which 24 is the best for Sony APSC? The Sony 24 f1.8 ZA, Sony 24 f2.8 G, Samyang 24 f1.8 ? The 24 becomes a 35 on the APSC. Very handy for street photography.
