p.1 #2 · p.1 #2 · Anyone Using Samyang 16mm f2 on a crop for astro? | |
If you're willing to look at other body types, definitely consider the 12mm f/2 from Samyang. I believe available on: Canon EF-m, Fuji, Samsung NX, Sony E (crop) mounts.
It's small, stellar sharp, low distortion, easy vignetting (to fix, or ignore), low coma (sharp stars in corners), and a perfect ~18-19mmm equivalent depending on the mount/crop.
I'm using it on a Fuji, and it very much out-resolves the sensor-- to the point that I have to be careful how I process the images (a whole different discussion) given Fuji's lack of AA and unique CFA.
I totally recommend this lens if you end up with a camera whose mount accepts it!
Here's a review that convinced me: http://www.lonelyspeck.com/rokinon-12mm-f2-0-ncs-cs-review/ My copy appears to perform better than the copy reviewed above.
