I think my samyang 14mm may be decentered and is soft and far amount of distortion threw out the focus range. The reason I purchased it was many reviews commented on its sharpness, just got a bad copy I think! ( But a great paper weight!)

Did you ever check if warranty could be used or how much a repair would cost? Sorry to keep bringing it up, but its my favorite UWA lens on APSC, and on FF its extreme FoV would look even crazier

No worries, bought at Amazon and did not test the lens in a timely fashion and ran out of time to return. I tried to contact the manufacture several times with no luck, Email and phone!

I nearly always run my new purchases threw some test, but was on another project and lost since of time for return. Was really looking forward to using it in astrophotography and extreme wide weather shots,

most the Images I have seen are sharp and reviews were good, just a bad copy!!

Thanks
