Description — Samyang 14mm f/2.8
The Samyang 14mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus, ultra wide-angle prime lens built for full-frame cameras. With a 14mm focal length and a f/2.8 maximum aperture, it is positioned for photographers who want a broad field of view and reasonable light-gathering capability. The lens is offered in four mounts — Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds — making it accessible across a wide range of DSLR and mirrorless platforms.
At 550g, it strikes a practical balance between build substance and portability for an ultra wide prime. There is no autofocus and no image stabilization, placing it squarely in the manual-focus prime camp. The absence of a filter thread is an important consideration for photographers who rely on screw-on filters for their workflow.
Whether you're shooting wide-open landscapes, architectural interiors, or nighttime skies, the 14mm f/2.8's combination of focal length and aperture gives you a solid foundation to work with on any compatible full-frame body.
