Through the glass
As you can see from our
example shot, the Samyang
does a great job capturing
honest colours and tones.
It also lives up to its distortion-
free claim, with the edges
returning amazingly straight
lines considering the ultra-wide
10mm focal length. It also does
a great job at combating any
chromatic aberration and
unwanted ghosting in our tests.
BULBOUSBEAUT
The95mmdiameter
fr ont element bulges
forth, leaving it totally
unrestricted to easily
capture an amazing
130° field-of-view.
MOUNT UP
Now available in
Canon EF and Nikon F
Mounts, it’s a must for
serious shooters.
IN THE HOOD
A fixed lens hood
helps cut down on
flare and ghosting.
SIMPLY PUT
The simple but
stylish design is
great for getting
down to business,
and its metallic
construction is
super rugged.
MASTERMANUAL
Samyang is known
for its range of
premium manual
focus lenses, and
the XP 10mm befits
this tradition. With
a large focus ring,
it’s a joy to use
and it’s also
simple to craft
in-focus shots.
