Is the Samyang AF 14-24mm f/2.8 (with Schneider Kreuznach) the best budget ultra-wide zoom lens for Sony full-frame cameras? In this in-depth review, we put the Samyang 14-24mm f/2.8 (also known as the Rokinon 14-24mm) through its paces to find out if it can compete with the Sony G Master and Sigma Art counterparts.
This lens boasts incredible optics, a bright f/2.8 aperture, and a super versatile 14-24mm focal range—all at a significantly lower price. But every lens has a trade-off. Stick around as I reveal the one "catch" that might make you think twice before buying this fantastic piece of glass for your Sony A7-series or A9-series camera.
We cover everything: image quality, sharpness, autofocus (AF) performance for both photo and video, build quality, and real-world landscape and astro-photography examples.
