p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Which 24/1.4 for D600, Samyang or Sigma


So there. I shoot mostly landscape and that in dark. So I was wondering, which one? The price is around the same(ish), so the question is mostly of image quality.

I have understood that the Samyang has less coma in the corners, but how big is the difference between these two if you're using f:2, for instance.

Sigma is all the way sharper, I suppose?
Autofocus is not a deal breaker, I can live without it easily. But of course, there are situations where Af is nice to have...


Another thing is guarantee. Samyang
has one year when Sigma has five (in Finland).

I have the 14mm samyang and I love it, but...

All help is greatly appreciated!

Stuff I've taken so far:

If the price is around same(ish) then Sigma for sure for AF, Better Sharpness and 5 years guarantee (better re-sale value)

I'd only go with Samyang if i could get it for much cheaper as used lens

Ok.. I'll have to see it my own eyes, the coma that is. I have used Nikkors 17-35 and 24/1,4 and both, although great lenses, had rather high amount of coma, something that samyang 14mm and 24 doesn't have.. But if Sigma has less coma than the Nikkor 24,ill buy it for sure

You may take a look at tests done by lenstip, it is the only website I know of that test for coma.

I'm looking for something similar, i hate coma issues, not only that makes starry pictures ugly, that also affects stitching so I personally would not consider the Sigma. Besides the Samyang, ZF 25/2 another option. It's ONLY f2 but it seems very usable right at f2.

Nikon 20/1.8 seems to have better coma control than the Sigma.

Yes, but I think I have to pass the Nikkor and Zeiss... Too pricey.

Thanks anyway!


Damn this is hard :/
I Dunno... I'm leaning towards Sigma, but.. I think I'll have to go to a store and try them out.
