Opinion:Maybe it's me who demanded too much from this goal. I did a road in Indonesia and I mounted it on APC-S. Whenever I wasn't perfectly careful about focusing the photos were non-sharp. Really too much time for a single shot. It's good for those who have different purposes from a trip and have a lot of time to focus on the subject or landscape that it is.
Cons:No electrical contacts, no graft lock, front cap too large
Opinion:I bought it used for the price of €250 and I love it right away because of its build quality.. The front lens is really nice. I bought it to learn to photograph in hyperfocal exploiting especially the relative scale that is engraved on it and also to test the field of view of a 10mm. Using it in hyperfocal returns sharpness and crazy colors. The distortion you notice but I have to say I like it. Unfortunately, despite the lens being quite small, the hood makes it seem cumbersome... And since the fixed hood is not possible to mount the filters. It has no electrical contacts being a "full-manual" lens but maybe only one contact for the diaphragm could be comfortable. I do not know if it is my specimen in particular but when I horsemanship not feel the classic "click" That assures me that is grafted well.. For this it is also unusable without pressing the release button. Nevertheless it still remains firm to the machine and there is no possibility that it undresses itself. Very nice lens anyway, the advice
Pros:Colors, excellent sharpness, distortions contained, build quality, focus ring well-frictioned and positioned, bright, addictive.
Cons:Weight and Dimentions for APSC and mirrorless, edge sharpness, non-removable lens hood, inability to use filters except slab, huge front cap. Stop.
Opinion:Then... I have suffered a lot for this lens and still suffer! I Was undecided between the 10mm f2.8 and the 12mm F2 always samyang and then what do I do? I order Them both and then I keep the best... But I kept the best really?!? I State that I have a mirrorles and precisely the Fujifilm X-T2 and this has affected heavily on my choice. I Have used both lenses for almost a month and until the last I was still undecided. Both behave well about the distortion and however it corrects easily with a click in PP. I Preferred by far the 10mm for the angle of view because the 2mm plus make the difference and give you more leeway in case of correction of Perspective and related crop... But CMQ even the 12mm is not bad. The chromatic aberrations are less annoying than the 12mm and you really have to look for them in cases of contrast of light and inquadreture backlight and all in all in PP you eliminate without problems what with the 12mm is more annoying to do because the CA you notice more and even if You fix them in PP sometimes, it depends what color result you want to get, popping up in the form of uninalterable Grays. As For the sharpness I would say that wins the 12mm but not by much and however the difference is known only if you enlarge to 100% so, unless you have to print big prints, one is the other. The colours of the 10mm are more real and less emphasized than the 12mm that in PP allows you to derive any shades of colors you want... (Obviously it also depends on the shot) I found the 10mm in a macrocontrast better than in the 12mm for my liking and suffers less Flare in backlight while the 12 fatigue a bit more and shows flare even when the sun is not within the frame. With regard to the sharpness at the edges the 10mm suffers more than the 12mm that instead from 5.6 up it behaves much better. In Short, by pulling the sums the 10mm, apart from the sharpness, volume and weight, as far as I'm concerned wins over everything and the fact that costs more is not a coincidence. Pulling the sums at the end of the speech, although I would rather keep the 10mm albeit with some flaw I preferred to keep me the 12mm. Why? Coming from the world from SLR cameras I decided to switch to mirrorless especially to travel light, so my choice was conditioned by lightness (300g less about) and the size of 12mm compared to 10mm and the speech filters that the 12mm is They can safely mount. So I wanted to stay true to the mirrorless philosophy: lightness and size. Now: If you have a mirrorless and want to stay light and you are undecided like me on the 2 lenses take quietly the 12mm which however is a great lens. But If you have a reflex or you do not have problems with the weight and size and you think you do not use filters or use some plate filters take the 10mm without thinking twice! The Money's worth them all! P.S. and think that I had found it with warehausedeals at 238 Euri... Yes... Have you read well 238 Euri... Not a scratch or whatever... Still if I think about it...
Pros:Very good overall sharpness, brightness, well-built, unbeatable value
Cons:Fixed lens hood, front Cap voluminous, inaccurate and unreliable distance scale
Opinion:I found it used a cheap (Pentax-K) and I consider a purchase right. First of all, the aperture f/2.8 allows you to shoot even in low light without worries. Then the clarity, very good wide open in the Middle, and even at the edges is not bad. Stopping down to f/5.6 becomes sharp across the frame, which is rare for a wide angle so pushed. At constant aperture, in many situations it seems better than the Sigma 10-20 mm f/3.5. A few aberrations, mostly in corners and in extreme contrast situations, but can be removed with a few clicks. Unlike other Samyang lenses that I could try, this looks well built, with simple but sturdy materials. The graft is made of metal, for example. The hood is fixed, so in addition to not allow the use of filters, screw makes it cumbersome, even more so with the huge front CAP, which is pretty much impossible to put into your pocket when you remove it to photograph. To store the camera with the lens implanted it really takes too much space. Downfall finally for the distance scale of the focus ring. On my printed copy is clearly wrong, actual distance do not correspond to those marked on the knob, even the infinite is wrong, and after some empirical evidence I had to work with pieces of colored masking tape on distances. Luckily the huge depth of field minimizes the problem but on a manual-focus seems like a major flaw. Anyway, that aside, I would recommend it highly enough. Rating 8
Opinion:Coming from a relatively little bright nikkor 18-105 the jump was huge, I bought it used at 230 euros and (practically as new) and for what I paid it I think it was a bargain, personally the only true flaw that I see is the lack of being able to mount filters and sometimes the lack of autofocus, but overall I find it very well.
