I didn't know that this thread existed! I should share some of mine here.

All taken with the Samyang 24mm f1.4 on my K1.

Nicely done, love those arcs but I always seem I mess them up, the horizon line doesn't align, sky color is even for most frames but not all even though WB is all set in Camera Raw... Bit jealous of your sky too, seems really dark!

Here's one from a Bortle 4 bordering 5 location, with the same lens with the Samyang badge.

Pentax K-70, single 90 s iso 800 exposure with Samyang 16 F2 @ f/2.0 with diy tracker. Stars spiked with Tiffen double fog 3 filter.
Nice shot! What do you mean by "Stars spiked with Tiffen double fog 3 filter."? Just curious, hadn't heard of "star spiking" or of using fog filters before.

Thanks! The Double Fog 3 filter from Tiffen is a diffuser that bloats the brightest stars and dims the fainter one giving more "depth" to the image at the cost of loosing some details in the MW itself. There is a PS plugin called Starspike pro 4 that mimics the effect of the filter, that's why I say spiking the stars.

Help with testing Bower / Samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens

Folks,

I recently obtained the Bower version of the Samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens for use in astrophotography. I am wondering if you can help me with some comparison images I can use to test my copy against while I still have the opportunity to return it if necessary. I am looking for shots of starfields with the sharpest possible stars from a "good" copy of the lens taken from f/1.4 to f/2.0. If you can provide me with RAW files of this from a K-1 or K-1ii, then I can evaluate these against what I am able to obtain from my lens. Can anyone help?

I am hoping for "pixel-sharp" stars at f/2.0 with minimal amounts of coma and astigmatism in the corners from my lens. Is this a reasonable expectation? Any other advice you have about evaluating my copy would be appreciated.

I could also evaluate my copy against what I am able to achieve with my Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4, but I would like to really know what my Bower lens "should" be able to achieve before I decide to keep it.

~ Jon
