Description — Samyang XP 14mm f/2.4
The Samyang XP 14mm f/2.4 is a prime ultra wide-angle lens built for Canon EF-mount DSLR cameras with full-frame sensor coverage. Its f/2.4 maximum aperture makes it one of the faster options available at this focal length, opening up possibilities for low-light and nighttime photography. With a 14mm focal length, the lens is well suited to wide environmental shots, interior spaces, and expansive landscapes where capturing a broad scene in a single frame is the goal.
Focus is entirely manual, putting direct control in the photographer's hands — an approach favored in precision shooting disciplines like astrophotography and long-exposure work. The lens mounts to Canon EF bodies and is built to cover a full-frame image circle. Weighing 791g, it has a solid, substantial feel consistent with a premium prime.
There is no image stabilization and no filter thread, so photographers should factor this into their workflow and filter system planning. The lens is categorized as a DSLR lens operating in the wide-angle focal length range, making it a purposeful tool for shooters who know exactly what they need from an ultra wide prime.
