Ballard 24mm Test-01

5D MK II w/ Rokinon 24mm Tilt Shift @ f11

This is my first real test working with the Rokinon (Samyang) 24mm f3.5 Tilt Shift lens. So far I'm really happy with the lens. All the images are quite sharp and the slight distortion was easily managed in Lightroom. I'm pleased with the color and contrast, though the low cloud haze that day wasn't ideal for contrast.

When I was researching this lens before buying it I had a hard time finding any real world information on it. So, as I shoot with it and become more familiar with it I plan on making my findings known. My experience with tilt shift lenses was mostly with the Canon 24mm MK I and I can say this lens hands down beats the hell out of that lens. The new one is another story, I haven't used it enough to be able to compare.

If you are looking for a good review with a comparison to the Canon 24mm MK II check out Keith Cooper's Northlight Images review here.
