Samyang 24mm F1.4 lens

I recently got one of these lenses. I got it mainly for Milky Way shots and night time lapses. I also have a Vixen Polarie and polar scope with a USB battery pack.

First impressions are that it is very well made. It is very fast (F1.4) and you can get really close to an object and it will still focus.

The manual focus (its manual focus only) works beautifully. I had no trouble getting perfect focus with it.

I haven't used it for astro yet so hopefully it works wide open without a lot of chromatic aberration.

I will post again once I have used it for that.

Greg.
