Super, fun, inexpensive lens!

I bought this specifically for night sky photography. I had a chance to use it for the first time last weekend and was pleased with the initial results. Who would have thought you could get a good fast wide angle lens for under $300.00!

Big Bang for the Buck!

I'm using the lens for landscape and shots with high foreground intrest. It takes fantasticly sharp shots from 1 foot to infinity with low barrel distortion if used correctly and you are comfortable using manual mode since this is a non-CPU lens. I set my Nikon up in the shooting menu to use this lens as a non-CPU lens, and the camera DOES record the correct exposure and focus. I would definately recommend this lens to anyone getting into landscape photography or home interior photography. A great value! Thanks Brian Peterson for recomending this lens! :-)

Great for experienced photographers.

I bought this for a Nikon D5000. It easily attaches, but the camera doesnt know the lens is even attached. Ruined half my trip photos because I had the settings incorrect. Dont buy this if youre just starting to get interested in photography.

great lens at a great price

$1500 cheaper than Nikon and just as sharp. No autofocus but for a lens this wide, everything beyond 6 feet is pretty much in focus anyway. I hate that I can't attach a filter but I can buy 3 of these for the price of one Nikon.

About ProOptic 14mm F/2.8

The Pro Optic 14mm Aspherical Wide Angle Lens is an excellent addition to any photographer's collection. It allows users the ability to expand their creativity and capture incredible scenes from a truly unique perspective. This manual focus lens, when used with cameras with an APS-C image sensor, creates images with an expanded perspective, including images with a creatively deformed outlook and a sharp pan focus that extends throughout the entire frame.

Optical construction is based on 14 elements in 12 groups. 2 ED low dispersion lenses, one hybrid aspherical element and one glass aspherical element combine to minimize distortion and chromatic aberrations. Advanced optical construction allows this lens to deliver razor sharp images even in corners.

The 14mm f/2.8 works perfectly even with latest high resolution full frame sensors. The lens is optically corrected, which is especially useful in architecture and landscape photography and the 114 deg. angle of view allows the user to create extremely unique and interesting pictures.
