The Samyang 10mm 3.5 XP is a bit of an odd lens. It is still the widest lens for DSLRs, but it was announced at a time when no one really cared about DSLRs anymore. And it came out after the Voigtl\u00e4nder 10mm 5.6<\/a>, which surely didn’t help the marketing department. And in the meantime we also got the Laowa 9mm 5.6<\/a>, which is even wider, has great optics and is small at the same time. So is there still a reason to get the Samyang 10mm 3.5 XP in 2022? Let’s find out in this review.<\/p>\n
