I always enjoy your comprehensive videos and look forward to them. This time however, I have a problem agreeing with your assessment of sharpness on most of your tested lenses. Unless my monitor is quitting on me, I do not see the sharpness as you do. In fact, when I watch other videos that are testing Nikon Lenses, they appear much sharper. Although I am relaxing my stand toward third party lenses, they still do not compare in quality as the first party manufacturers, and they do not last as long either. I have Canon equipment and I am quite pleased with the quality, versatility and ruggedness I have learned to expect. Again, thanks so much for your hard work. Tony

Thanks for the reveal about the loss of sharpness on the sigma 85 when on aps-c as compared to the samyang. As my friends and I borrow each other's lenses, (I'm full frame and they're mostly aps-c) this will help factor into what lens we split price on. It's incredible they're both the same price too.

I love my Sigma 35mm. It lives on my Canon and rents the space on occasion. The 14 mm Samyang is equally impressive for wide angle architectural shots and its 85 mm sibling is tack sharp as you've said. I've yet to decide on the newer XP series and will probably pick up the Sigma 85 mm along with Sigma 12-24mm because there are times I wish I didn't have to fumble with manual focusing. That said, I rarely use zoom lens anymore. My goto lens apart from aforementioned, are the Canon 100 mm Macro and Canon 135 mm. Great review as always Chris. I appreciate the fact that you take the time to objectively report the value of third party lens as they are getting really good and exceeding the more expensive Canon or Nikon lens. Cheers!

I'm happy to see that the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS made it on to the list. I own it and got at a very good price on Black Friday last year. Very nice lens. I use it on my Canon eos 80D - which makes it work like a 112-320mm when factoring the 1.6 crop factor in.

Well, as a 42 Mpix Sony a7R II user I can easily say that the Canon 100-400mm L mk2, Nikon 105mm f1.4, and especially Sony 90mm f2.8 Macro are the sharpest lenses out there. I used Canikon to Sony adapters, but if you as a Canon user (my guess based on your video) find a 5DS R you will also see the difference at least with the Canon lenses I mentioned.

Now with an adapter I've attached it on a Olympus PEN E-P5 uFT camera. This adapter aroused my curiosity, because the lens has the effect of a FF 140-400mm telephoto zoom. On saturday or sunday I'll test that combination thoroughly. Best, Magnetron

Ed Wagoner Sr. , I doubt that there is the whole ten APS-C specific lenses worth the title in existence. Usually the full-frame lenses are of a better quality, so basically, if you shot APS-C, you need only a short focus distance lens to get your wide angle covered, and for the rest a full-frame glass will be a better investment.

Misleading, title should've been "The 10 Sharpest Lenses I've Ever Tested: 2017 (Canon FX)"

Alfonso Ignacio It's not misleading at all - it's 100% accurate. The fact that I only shoot Canon is mentioned in the description and right at the beginning of the video

Don't see anything wrong with the title if he has only tested Canon Lenses.

Yes, 'Beatnick'...getting ugly on my comments section is definitely the way to persuade me!

Mr. Ignacio obviously doesn't have any idea what he is taking about. There is no "Canon FX". Honestly some people need to take a chill pill. I watched the entire video and you tested a fairly wide variety of lenses. Of the none Canon lenses my gut tells me most of them can be purchased with Nikon mounts, Olympus mounts, Sony mounts, etc. Which, ultimately means by the hater logic you should title the video "The 10 Sharpest Lenses I've Ever Tested: 2017 (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus)." In reality, there are adapters that will allow you to use Canon lenses on a Sony, on a Nikon, not sure about the Olympus, but you get the idea. Sounds like someone lacks the capacity to listen to your fairly complete detailing of how and what you used to conduct your tests. But they obviously rather blame you than themselves.

I know this is a really old video now, and I know you qualified to lenses you'd actually tested and therefore no Nikon or Sony... but if we're talking under 1000 pounds, some Pentax lenses would probably get a look in there. Cheers for everything you do Christopher!

I own 3 of these. And agree the sigma art 50 1.4 is amazing. Although I wouldn't say the samyang 14 2.8 deserves a place here. I own it. And use it. But it's not all that great.

Second version of canon 24-70 is worth mentioning although it costs more than 1000 pounds but it subtitutes several prime lenses.

Sorry man but you dropped the ball BIG time saying that the Canon 135mm F2 L has been slightly surpassed...that is the understatement of the year! It has been destroyed not only by the Samyang but even more by the Sigma 135mm Art lens. For example here is a summary of the professional measurement of both "The cult Canon EF 135 mm f2L USM in the frame centre was able to reach 43.2 lpmm at most. The Sigma A 135 mm f/1.8 DG HSM reached 44.1 lpmm on the edge of full frame, when wide open." Do I have to say anything more? What is absolutely a HUGE difference and that is not even mentioning that the Sigma has no CA compared to the CA happy Canon. Canon needs to bring out an update soon.

I will get this Rokinon (Samyang) SP 85mm f/1.2 tomorrow I really hope I like it. I have the Canon 85 1.8, but I want more bokeh and a nice lifelong lens. I bought the Saymang 50mm 1.4 before, and it was not a pleasant experience it was hard to use.

Check out the new Tamron 90 VC (F017). Some reviewers are saying it is sharper than the 100L for less money.
