Samyang is one of the lens manufacturers that offers affordable lenses with top notch quality. I have personally owned 3 Samyang lenses and I never regret it, in fact I recommend them. So far, they have never let me down. The Samyang 14mm is an ultra wide angle lens, if you haven’t tried an such focal length, it can be overwhelming to use.

From there, I can see the Dubai skylines and Burj Khalifa standing out of that crowd. Gear used: Nikon D810 + 85mm f1.4 […]
