Originally posted by ivoire Just for comparison, heres a couple of recent DA12-24mm pics. one at 16mm, second at 12mm (no image correction). If you are expecting to get no distortion at these focal lengths you will always be disappointed.
True. But as an owner of the 12-24, really the only reason why I would consider (and have been considering) the Samyang was for the potential better distortion (and maybe that one stop faster aperture). Center sharpness and f2.8 won't make up for worse distortion and the inability to take filters, when compared to my 12-24 @ 14mm.
I dunno. Ever since getting a Hasselblad Super Wide C, I've been spoiled regarding distortion :-)
