February 22, 2015 Samyang 135mm f/2 ED UMC Image Gallery

November 19, 2014 Samyang/Rokinon 24mm f/3.5 Tilt-Shift Review

I was excited when the Samyang/Rokinon Tilt-Shift 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC Lens was announced as it seemed like a perfect fit for the manufacturer.

Samyang released a new filter system for the lens this year, although distribution in North America has been very limited (Ebay is your friend!). In this video tutorial I both review the [… [Read more...]

October 1, 2013 Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Wide Angle Review

How wide can you go?    I am a Canon shooter.  I don’t see that changing any time soon.  Canon is renowned for its range of telephoto lenses that are considered to be the best.  Period.  The truth of the matter is that Canon has been on a roll with many of its recent lens […] [Read more...]
