Samyang 14mm f/2.8 Reviews

Doesn't come to focus on blue

By Theresa
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2024-10-07

I received a poor copy of this lens. It doesn't come to focus on blue and in fact it's hard to tell if if comes to focus on any color, but blue stars were the worst, huge and bloated with offset bright halos around them right in the center of the frame. Right side had large amounts of coma. So something isn't manufactured correctly. Disappointing since I purchased for a trip to Yellowstone and didn't have time to test it out ahead of time. It's got to go back and hoping for a better replacement.

Got a terrible copy and returned

I gave 2 stars only because I successfully retuned this lens. This lens is usable on the daytime, but my copy is certainly a terrible choice for night images. I got this lens and it produces a really weird coma (at least at f/2.8) and it's almost impossible to use when shooting night photography with these point light sources. I am returning this lens. Use for daily photography can be fine but not good enough.

Does focus peaking (on a7iii) work when using this lens?
Asked by: Avi
Focus peaking does not work on all manual focus lenses. The Venus Optics Laowa 17mm f/1.8 MFT Lens did not support focus peaking on my Olympus 4/3 camera (company says it supports magnification view only)

Are the markings on this lens accurate? For instance, if you set this lens on infinity for f/8, are you going to be able to determine the hyperfocal distance you are shooting for?
Asked by: George
Yes, to confirm with a reviewers comment; The hyperfocal scale is very useful and I need not use the viewfinder or live view as this lens has an incredible DOF.

I watched a review of this lens that said that the camera does not realize that this lens is on the camera. Thus, the "live view" is not accurate. Is this true on the Sony cameras?
Asked by: George
you do have a live view... with this lens... the only thing that does not have is auto-focus. is a really low price alternative to the other ones, i use it for inside pics of homes, i am a realtor. i use a tripod and use the manual focus while i see on the screen how the pics are going to come out. hope this helps.
