Lens review

Samyang 14 mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC

5. Chromatic aberration

In the older version the chromatic aberration ranged from 0.04% to 0.06% on full frame. What’s more, it increased slightly on stopping down. In the new version of the lens the situation is the other way round. The aberration decreases on stopping down, reaching from 0.13% to 0.10% on small sensor and from less than 0.08% to 0.06% on a big sensor. At no point does it cross the medium level border so it can’t be called bothersome. The result is still good, taking into account the fact that the Nikkor 14-24 mm f/2.8 at 14 mm fared a bit worse than the new Samyang.
