A minimum focusing distance of 11" allows you to get up close to your subject.
A built-in petal-type lens hood provides flare protection without a matte box.

Samyang 14mm T3.1 VDSLR II Reviews

Solid Lens.

This lens has some distortion as you would expect, but the image comes out sharp. I use this lens on a BMPCC 4k with a Metabones XL Speedbooster, which is a great combination.

Solid, light lens for special wide angle sceens.

Five stars because of the price point for a 35mm full frame very wide 14mm cinema lens having a long focus throw and de-clicked aperture ring. I use this lens with a Meta Bones Speed Booster on a Sony FS7. It is not a fisheye lens, but there is some horizontal and vertical barrel distortion that can adjusted in post. I would not use this lens for architectural subjects unless the objective is to emphasize the curvature of lines at the edges of the frame. I did not detect any chromatic aberration and the lens was somewhat soft until stopped down to about T5.6 where it clearly resolved every line in my 8x10 Digital Image Flow LLC chart at the center and edges. I plan to use this lens in tight places outdoors, at the sea shore, and where there is cloud activity using time lapse. I recommend using this lens with a high resolution monitor like the Gratical Eye or HD, because the low resolution FS7 monitor displays significant moir which is not in the processed image.

sharp beautiful picture
