Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 Reviews
Compact and Fast

For the times I need something wider than 35mm, this little 24mm gets the job done and does it well. Very sharp in my opinion, even at f/2.8. For the price, no complaints.
Small nice lens for everyday carry

Large Sony lenses are nice, but hard to carry around for casual use. This little Samyang lens instantly converts your mirrorless Sony camera into a highly portable travel or everyday carry camera. I use it with my Sony AR74 and the results are really nice. At 24mm, it is great for taking it to casual events and taking shots of the natural environment or the moment you are in, without the difficulty of hauling a large and heavy setup.
