  • PositiveAls Weitwinkellösung auch für die kleine Fototasche, das damit als raumgreifender Spezialist immer dabei sein kann, macht das Objektiv eine gute Figur.
  • NegativeDie Auflösungsleistung könnte noch etwas höher sein, ist aber angesichts des günstigen Preises zu verschmerzen.

Samyang bietet mit dem AF 18mm F2,8 FE eine außergewöhnliche Lösung an. Extreme Weitwinkelwirkung und relativ hohe Lichtstärke werden kombiniert mit einem ultrakompakten und leichten Aufbau. Üblicherweise sind solche Objektiv erheblich schwerer, größer und teurer.
