And from the first picture, with the moiré sample, it clearly is not as good as he states. Lateral CA bottom left corner, soft in top left. Terrible light fall-off.



BTW, moiré becomes more of a problem when downsizing a picture, something he thinks works the opposite way.



Kind regards, Wim

Hmm... I see the same CA in all corners. Which is what CA does of course... And the softness you see on the left top seems to be mostly LaCA related too, so correcting that will solve most of the "softness" too. And the amount of CA is low, for such a lens, too. The Nikon 14-24mm may be a bit better regarding CA.

The Samyang 14mm is of course MUCH better concerning CA, but that lens' distortion characteristic poses a much bigger problem.



The light fall-off at f2.8 is high, but that is kind of normal for an UWA at f2.8? I am looking at the PZ test data for the Canon 14mm f2.8 and the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 and see high light fall off too.



I actually am impressed by the simple samples given, it does look like a great lens.
