Overview

The Samyang MF 14mm F2.8 Z / Rokinon MF 14mm F2.8 Z is a manual-focus ultra-wide lens offering excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and minimal coma, ideal for astrophotography. Colors are gorgeous with high contrast, though saturation is lower. Build quality has improved with weather sealing at the mount, but the lens is large and heavy, with a non-standard cap and no filter thread. Optical quality is criticized as poor compared to Nikon/Canon 14mm lenses, with significant distortion. It suits budget-conscious photographers needing a wide lens for landscapes or astro, but quality control can be inconsistent.
