Samyang 14 mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC
1. Introduction
After our test the producer decided to withdraw first specimens of that lens from the market and started to redesign it. It was announced that they intended to improve the work against bright light and to increase the quality of images at the frame edge (the resolution was supposed to increase by 15% there).
The first specimens of this lens’s new version hit the shelves of our shops lately. The lens looks similar to the previous version but its name is slightly changed, including the UMC symbol - it means new coatings have been used. The price changed too. The new model is by around 40 EUR more expensive.
