Samyang SYTS24-C 24mm F/3.5 Tilt Shift versus Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 USM

Comparing the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 and the Samyang SYTS24-C 24mm F/3.5 Tilt Shift with 6mm of up Shift applied, showing the correction of perspective distortion using the latter.

Both images shot in RAW at f/11, 1/125, ISO 100, from same position, Canon 5DMk3 on tripod.

Images processed in DPP, resized with PS CC, sharpened with NIK Sharpener Pro.

NOTE: To my eye the Samyang image looked about 1/2 stop underexposed as compared to the one taken with the Canon lens, so I adjusted the Samyang up half a stop in DPP. All other adjustments (sharpening etc., in both DPP and PS identical).

This is the Samyang lens I bought new for ~$680 CDN (including shipping and tax) this past week, and mentioned on this Forum (unfortunately I see the price has gone back up to $900 plus) ...

Again taken with the 5DMk3, two images showing how the plane of focus can be swung to left or right by swinging the Samsung 24mm f/3.5 TS-E lens. The wall in the second image is 35 feet long, and the nearest point is just over a foot from the lens.

Both images taken at 1/60th, the first at f/8, the second at f/16, both at ISO 100. identically processed.
