    Overview

    The Centon 18-28mm f/4-4.5 MC (rebadged Samyang) offers good sharpness when stopped down to f/5.6-10, with very good color and contrast. Its main weakness is heavy distortion, though this can be used for dramatic effect. Build quality is decent. It suits users who want an affordable, manual-focus ultra-wide zoom for APS-C and can tolerate distortion.
