Samyang 20mm f/1.8 ED AS UMC Review

Samyang 20mm f/1.8 ED AS UMC Verdict

20mm lenses are very attractive for the wide angle photographer, wide enough to be interesting, but not so wide as to be very difficult to handle. We have here a lens that is well made, has a very high standard of performance, and a reasonable price tag. Without doubt, the Samyang 20mm f/1.8 ED AS UMS adds up to being a very good deal.
