As this is just rebranded Pentax 12-24 f/4 (not sure how is it with SMC layers, couldn't find any info about it, but i find my results are of same quality as sample imgs of Pentax version) is great UWA lens. In some conditions very prone to lens flare. Sharpness and color rendering is just wow-great, people asking what kind of PP I did with the colors :-D You get nice stars with the 8 blade aperture too. Build is great as I'm 3rd owner of this lens still looking like out of the box. On the other side CA control is not really good, bokeh as this is UWA lens not important at all but really not smooth.
So If you ever get a chance for a good deal with Samsung version, don't be affraid, I get my for really great value and is great
