It's time for the small guys (Samyang) to pit themselves against one of the Demi Gods of the optical world.............
Leica!
Lenstip tests the tiny Samyang AF35 F2.8 and compares it against the Leica Sonnar 35mm F2.8!
To put things in perspective, the Samyang can be had for under $300, while the Leica sneaks in at a cool or was it hot?......... $4,000!
So it's plastic fantastic vs German traditional engineering, probably at it's finest.
In reality one would expect Leica's experience to dominate in all areas....but does it?....
..it's no surprise as to which wins the mechanical battle, but which lens gets the optical cigar?
