Not only the lens is sharp, you have done a great job for these 2 pics, anymore to share?
Тhe lens is super! I had M85 2.0 but sold it when compare it head to head to this one.
Here are some more to share with this lens.




I must confess, first two weeks of owning that lens it was stuck at 1.4 never wanted to close it down.

Some more samples:





Perfect for my favourite bokeh panoramas

New owner of a samyang 14mm f2.8

Guess peering down a 300mm has me spoiled. Treated myself to a Samyang 14mm. Will need some time to get used to it.

Some test shots-- i live the sharpness.

Samyang 14mm f2.8

The Samyang accompanied me on the Kx for a day trip ...










Hope they pass muster. :-)

Hi!
Don't currently own a Samyang, but i'm looking for something fast and wide to shoot northern lights with. So far i've used the kit lens and the M28 2.8. I find i like the shots with the M28 the best, but i wish it was wider. I was thinking about the Samyang 14mm, but after reading this thread, i can't help but notice that the 8mm fisheye isn't so fishy as other fisheyes - how do you think it will do as a northern lights/starry sky lens? Granted, it's not the fastest lens in the world, but it will record a whole lot of sky...and it's cheap! What do you think?
Well, I'm quoting you just in case it still matters.

This is the Vivitar 13mm f/2.8 (Samyang 14) and it's excellent in astrophotography. This is mainly because of the good coma control, manual focus, wide aperture and sharpness wide open at a wide focal length.



Et here are some non-astro, which I think performed well.
