Rubber neck syndrome develops concurrently with its use, presumably.

Nah, its super-wide angle-of-view would rather mitigate the need for the neck to be rubberized!

Wow, that is twice as wide as 20mm which is already very wide. The sample images look well composed and make good use of the wide angle of view. I can imagine other pictures where subjects at the corners will be extremely stretched, so use with care!

With that angle of view aren't you forced to extend your arm or use a tripod to take photographs to avoid including your feet in the picture?

No, that is not an issue at all even shooting in diagonal mode (where the angle of view is the widest).

In case the camera is held at level at 1.8m (100 times half of 36mm frame width) from the ground in portrait mode, there is still 1m (100 times the focal length) "free" in front of the (zero length) feet.


The novelty of this Samyang lens is that it is the first FF 10mm lens for DSLR's. Cosina already sells a FF 10mm lens (called Voigtlander Heliar-hyper wide 10mm F5.6 aspherical) for mirrorless cameras in both Sony E-mount and Leica M-mount versions.
