I prefer the angle of view of 24mm on a canon 60. I've tried the samyang 35mm but i think i would buy the samyang 24mm instead.

Some say the 35mm is amazing and they are not that impressed with the 24mm by samyang :
About 24mm :

I'm not sure about this lens. Image quality doesn't impress me.
The new Sigma 35MM 1.4 Art is amazing. The thing is, I would prefer a cine lens, cause I almost only shoot films. Hummmm....?

Did anyone tried the 2 ?
Thanks in advance

I have the Samyang 35mm and it is really a wonderful lens. Never tried the 24mm but I ve heard mixed reviews...dont no why...
Do you want a 18mm, 24mm, 35mm f1.8 primes ALL in one lens with excellent built and image quality and buttery smooth focus and zoom rings? SIGMA 18-35mm f1.8
Im not a sigma salesman...but my friend I just cant let you spend 670$ for the samyang 24mm, when you can buy that Sigma for less than 150$ more...I d feel really quilty...haha...

PS From the time I bought the sigma 18-35mm I dont use my Samyang anymore...

Edit: Just saw the Samy 24mm is 550$ and not 670$...anyway Im sure the sigma worth even more than that price difference...

the 35mm is awesome, the 24mm is kind of a lottery: there are good copies, and bad copies...
 
I have the 35mm as well, its a great lens, though I also prefer the 24mm on a micro four thirds system, it's the x2 crop which gives it the same field as a 50mm ( well almost) at 1.4, not bad. The cine version is 750.00 on Amazon from reputable dealers. The sigma is great, But for filmmaking I prefer primes. I have both, if I have some time I will try to do a comparison. If you want an amazing 24mm get the tokina 24mm f2.8 vintage, I own one and can say its sharp! extremely long throw 180 degree, for a stills lens it's crazy. sharp wide open, also want to compare it to Samyang 24mm when I get time.
