You can with a canon!

They could have just reduced the zoom range a bit and managed to make it f2.8-5.6.

I realize that but I don't know why they chose to compromise the light gathering capability in exchange for a huge zoom range.

PhozoKozmos if you want other tech people to interact with you discuss this in the forums.

F3.3-6.4 come on Leica

How is this "behind the scenes"
There isn't even much of an explanation of how he pulled this off

At least Samyang appears to manufacture most of their products themselves. Neewer usually just rebrands products and sells them at a discount (not necessarily a bad thing).

Whatever floats your boat

More like a 56mm f/1.5 lens (canon aps-c crop factor 1.6)

It probably would have made more sense to you if I wrote lens from this brand instead of "lens of this quality"

I'm surprised. $400 seems a little steep for a lens of this quality.

Sharp as a tack, but it has so much distortion.

Pretty decent results and good sample images. I would not want to use it above iso 1600 though.

Why did they bother?

SO WORTH IT
