A DX prime example

The Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC is a good option for DX bodies

-

For DX (APS-C format) SLRS, a 24mm lens gives the same effective viewing angle as a 35mm lens on a full-frame body, thanks to the 1.5x crop factor. There aren’t any 24mm prime lenses on the market that are designed specifical­ly for DX format SLRS, but the manual-focus FX format Samyang fits the bill nicely. For handling and performanc­e, it’s similar to the Samyang 35mm on test, with a long-travel focus ring that enables smooth and precise adjustment­s. It also features built-in electronic­s that enable full communicat­ion with the body, so you can effectivel­y shoot in the full range of PASM shooting modes. It’s a great choice for traditiona­l street photograph­y with a DX format camera.

 ??  ?? At around £500/$500, the F-mount Samyang/ Rokinon 24mm is a manual-focus lens with useful DOF markers for zone focusing.
