It is ideal for full-frame cameras, constituting a high-quality wide-angle lens perfect for street, landscape and architecture shooting even in low light conditions.

Photographers using Canon DX / APS-C sensors will get approx 38mm field of view (35mm equivalent) suitable for journalist and general photography. On Four Thirds cameras the field of view would be approximately that of a standard 50mm lens (35mm equivalent), offering a fast aperture standard prime lens.
Samyang 24 mm F1.4 ED AS UMC is a manual focus lens. The manual focus ring is wide, easily accessible and perfectly adapted to most photographic applications, except applications such as sports or where Autofocus lenses would be better considered.
For film and video applications manual focus is often the preferred choice, allowing changing focusing during filming and here are increasing numbers of users using DSLRs for filming and High Definition (HD) video.

This Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS UMC Lens has a standard coupled (clicked) aperture, adjustable in 1 stop (1 EV) intervals. Many of the Samyang lenses (primarily for Canon EOS Mount, although some other mounts also) can also be specially ordered with uncoupled (de-clicked) manual aperture if the primary use of the lens if for video / film making. This allows smooth changing the aperture whilst filming, rather than the clicked 1 EV stop intervals. (AVAILABLE ON SPECIAL ORDER, dependent on mount / availability). Please ask your local Samyang UK retailer for details.
For general photography the standard coupled aperture is generally preferred to avoid accidental change of the aperture during photographic sessions or whilst focusing.
Accurate focus at very close distance or focus critical situations can be achieved through use of focusing in live view mode, available to most newer camera models.
Furthermore the 24mm provides lovely bokeh (the character of out-of-focus areas), due to its design and fast aperture.
