Samyang 24 or 20 on FF

biz-engineer · 05-13-2017, 08:41 AM

The Samyang 24 f1.4 is fairly highly rated. The Samyang 20mm f1.8 is rather new and it's hard to find comparisons of image quality with the 24 f1.4.
Does anyone have experience with the Samy 20mm f1.8. Which one would be the best for astro?

Looks like the 20mm is not as good for astrophoto as the 24mm and 14mm. I never got the 24mm because its price is a bit higher than the other Samyangs. And the 20mm is apparently on sale (there was a thread about this).

Thanks for the link. There is interesting information in that thread. Some people even stitching panos from a Sig. 35 1.4 or FA43.
