The Bower 14mm f/2.8 Wide Angle Lens features two high-precision aspherical elements and two ED-glass elements. This results in better contrast and sharpness at the outer edges, and a reduction in chromatic aberrations that can sometimes be seen with high-resolution digital SLRs.

This bright lens provides an ultra wide 92.5° (21mm equivalent) angle view in digital SLR cameras with APS-C size sensors so you can capture sweeping vistas, dramatic architectural compositions and panoramas. Additionally, its minimum focusing distance of only 11" (0.28 m) will allow you to move in close on your subjects to achieve amazing perspectives. With a fast f/2.8 aperture photographers can create dynamic photographs that take full advantage of the characteristics of the lens.

Comments about Bower 14mm f/2.8 Ultra Wide Angle Lens for Pentax/Samsung DSLRs:

I have this lens for about 1 week after extensive reading of reviews. There is no complaint in terms of optical quality and build quality. It is incredibly sharp wide open. Everything said about this lens is true. It is an absolute steal at this price.

Manual focus is difficult, however; but LV solved the problem. I knocked out one star because the lens mount is very tight.
