Reviews in English

OpticalLimits 5.3/10
It has its merits, but its resolution characteristic is, overall, sub-standard. This is especially true at the wide end, where the outer image field is just not sharp enough to compete with the big boys [...] The mechanical quality of the Samyang lens is excellent.
Lens Tip
I have to admit the Samyang AF 24–70 mm f/2.8 FE didn't impress me with its performance. [...] we noticed too many slip-ups and medium results for a good contemporary lens with the journalistic 24-70 mm f/2.8 parameters. [...] its dimensions and weight are noticeably higher than those of the majority of its rivals.
