Review Summary

This lens goes back to the 1930's using a film SLR. It has a manual diaphragm and manual focusing. None of this should put you off. You must think and apply your knowledge. The problem is with modern cameras, not with this lens. Modern cameras with their autofocus capabilities do not include focusing aids (micro-prisms, split image prisms, etc.) In their absence focusing a wide-angle lens such as this is difficult. Fortunately, there is a great depth of focus with this lens, so you luck out. This lens does not have a "depth of field" scale. This lack does not let you get away with setting the hyperfocal distance. The hyperfocal distance provided acceptable focus from a set distance (determined by the f-stop) to infinity. I would not recommend this lens to a friend because he may not like what I do and vice versa.

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.
