Your sharpest lenses at full aperture

[Tomasg71]

My Samyangs are all sharp wide open.

14/2.8 still very good for astro

24/1.4 very good for astro and the borders are sharper than the center when wide open, least sharp of the Samyangs i have

35/1.4 got this one for free from someone because it was damaged internally after it fell, i repaired it and still the third sharpest lens among the Samayngs i have

50/1.4 the almost unknown Samyang, sharp wide open, better than the other 50-ties i have (Canon FD 50/1.2, Nikkor 50/1.2, Pancolar 50/1.8 etc.) second sharpest. The smoothest bokeh of all my 50-ties, btw

85/1.4 sharp enough, sharper than the 24/1.4 but softer than the other Samyangs, still sharper than the other 85 mm lenses i have (wide open)

135/2 the sharpest of all

That said...i don t give much importance to sharpness

Have you tried the 200mm f4 with m43? Is the CA performance acceptable?

I have answered this in another thread.
