Samyang 12mm F2 - Advice needed
1

Hi

I have been using my lens Samyang 12mm F2 for some time now, and still wonder how much I consider it satisfying. As I am a beginner, I tend to blame the photographer more than the lens, so I post here some example so you can comment, JPEG OOC taken with a GX7.

The pictures are not bad but the scenery was great and I don't feel like colors pop as they should. It seems a bit flat and the sea disapoints as well.

I shot in Raw as well but not sure post treatment could fix this.

So I wonder if it is limitation of the camera (dynamic range), the lens (manual focus or bad choice of aperture, I think it was between 5.6 and 7.1), exposure or just the scene with too much dynamic.

This is just an example but I am extremely satisfied for some pictures and disappointed by others, with a lower rate than with other lenses like 20mm F1.7.

thanks for commenting

Matt
