I always check Photozone and their lens reviews. Their latest Samyang 14mm f/2.8 review is quite a surprise: http://www.photozone.de/canon_eos_ff/532-samyang14f28eosff. They tested the lens on a Canon but the same lens is also available here on eBay for Sony Alpha camerasavailable here on eBay for Sony Alpha cameras

. The lens itself costs 320EUR/420US$ works on both FF and APS-C cameras. The image quality is surprisely high! Photozone itself says that this is “may be the surprise product of the season”. One more review is available here on Dyxum.com
A little bit weird that the lens is sold with 4 different brands (Samyang, Bower, Rokinon, Walimex)! That’s why on Amazon US you find it as “Rokinon 14mm f/2.8” (click here)

Fortunately there is one fewer brand name to worry about. There will no more lenses given the “Falcon” name – future production will all be Samyang-branded.
the lens in also tested on lenstip.com and it didn’t turn out such a good score.
Sorry this lens doesn’t really looks very sharp in the samples on Photozone and i am not really surprised about the rest image quality, too much border softness, sorry it’s not a real alternative to other UWA-Zooms or Primes!
