Samyang AF 50mm f/1.4 FE Review

Samyang AF 50mm f/1.4 FE Verdict

Samyang's lenses have always looked interesting. Now, with the arrival of AF, they move into new territory and this first offering is a beautiful lens that performs to a very high standard. The cost has been a fairly large and relatively heavy lens, but that may be a small price to pay for an optic that can deliver such beautiful results.
