A bright and versatile ultra-wide prime, the Canon EF-mount 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC from Samyang features a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and is well-suited for subjects ranging from landscape to architecture to astrophotography. The optical design incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and three high refractive index (HR) elements, which control spherical aberrations and distortion. Additionally, two extra-low dispersion elements are used to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberration for improved clarity and color accuracy. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to limit flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color rendering in strong lighting conditions. This manual focus prime has an 11" minimum focusing distance and also features a built-in petal-shaped lens hood to guard against flare and protect the front element.

Samyang 14mm f/2.8 Reviews
Doesn't come to focus on blue
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.
