Liked, good sharpness, but distorts much. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx​xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This is the second lens I received from Amazon after returning the first for the same issues (only this one may even be slightly worse). When using the live view function of my camera zoomed all the way in on a distant point source of light like a star, the light gradually gets smaller and smaller,...

An excellant choice and surely better than canon or nikon at the same focal length as it maintain sharpness across the while frane range unlike others. Manual focus is a challenge specially at night when aiming at stars

Excellant for wideopen photography and landscape

Manual focuse

No promises, but I would like to write a full Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Lens review in the future. In the meantime, I think that you will find the standardized Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Lens results currently available to be helpful.

Handling and features This lens is available to fit many different types of cameras, including Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony and Four Thirds SLRs as well as Samsung NX mirrorless cameras and costs around ￡260.

Firstly I am a happy user of Samyang 85 and 8 mm lenses and I was looking forward to adding the Samyang 14mm to my lenses! Unfortunately mine came with 2 issues: 1. Lens could not achieve infinity focus (easily adjusted at least) 2.

Good price if you get a good one Sharp if you get a good one AE along with focus confirm works on Pentax mount Reasonably fast

Quality control FF distortion but could live with it FF vignetting but could live with it

Ultra Wideange - Samyang 14mm manual lens This manual lens is fantasticly sharp provided you allow for the fact that infinity focus occurs at 3m on the scale on the lens. With the lens focused on its scale at 3m and f2.8 Infinity is sharpest With the lens then set to f5.6 everything from infinity to...

Korean optics company Samyang is known for fully manual lenses and superb optical quality, and this ultra-wide 14mm has a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 which lets you capture stunning scenes in low light...

This low-cost lens works well on my APS-C camera for shooting night photos. The wide aperture allows a lot of light in while the aspherical elements of the lens minimize coma around points of light (stars). It beats the higher priced Canon lenses, for example.

low cost; excellent sharpness
