Suitable for landscapes, nature, and astrophotography, the Nikon F-mount AF 14mm f/2.8 from Samyang is a bright ultra-wide prime characterized by its autofocus design and immense field of view. The optical design features one extra-low dispersion element, two aspherical elements, and four high refractive index elements, which help to reduce a variety of aberrations and distortions for greater sharpness, clarity, and color rendering. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to individual elements to suppress lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optical design, the autofocus system makes use of a lightweight focusing group for quick and quiet performance that benefits both photo and video applications. Additionally, the lens also has an all-metal housing and is weather-sealed for use in inclement weather conditions.

Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 Reviews
Product Defect-Customer Service Failure
The inside of the rear glass (interior to the lens) has a defect that looks like a coating is peeling or delaminating. The lens is 21 months old and only used about 7 times since purchase. I only noticed this problem recently. It may have been there longer but I don’t inspect my rear glass as much as the front. I’ve written to Samyang Korea, they referred me to Samyang USA, and they referred me to Elite Brands that does Samyang repair. Elite brands said the lens was out of warranty and they would replace it for $405. This is a manufacturing quality defect and I am disappointed to have to pay $405 for a $499 lens that was used only 7 times. I had high hopes for this Samyang lens but this is a failure of product… and, more importantly, a failure of customer service. Based upon this experience I will not purchase another Samyang lens
Great Value
This lens has worked for me with regards to urban architecture.
