Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED Lens for Canon EF

2023-07-28T19:21:35

Works great with my Canon 6D full frame body. Please note this is a manual lens, so it doesn't have electronics, stab or autofocus motors, so you'll be shooting in manual, bulb or aperture priority (in the latter case the camera will adjust the shutter speed for proper exposure). As a manual lens, it's very well suited to landscapes, nightscapes, and astrophotography.

mudsville once in focus (manual) produces very nice images

This lens has been great for wide field night photography. Shipping was quick.

I can’t wait to find a clear night in the PNW to do some astrophotography with this lens. Super wide angle and decent speed.

I gotta be honest on this one, I was not able to get sharp images with this lens right out the box. I had to calibrate this lens using some tricks I found online which required some risks. The Infinity mark was off and I had to calibrate that too. I'm not 100% satisfied with this lens, for a very odd reason I simply coulnd't get anything in focus, not even close objects. Maybe I had a bad copy... I just don't know! After the calibrations I made, the lens work better now, still not super sharp but it is better than before. I really like the quality of this lens but the focus it's really a nightmare for me! Again... give it a try, maybe I got a bad copy!

Great value for a fast, sharp, full frame ultra, ultrawide. Yes, it does have distortion, and my D750 FX does not have a correction factor for it. But Adobe's free Lens Profile Creator generated an accurate correction factor that was automatically imported into my copy of Lightroom 6 that straightens it out at a keystroke. Very nice option if you don't want to spend thousands.

You can't do better for the price on a great w/a lens for milky way photography.

Works great and price wasn’t too shabby. Very pleased with the lens.

Great lens for astrophotography after finding infinity focus.

For the price, it can't be beat; I picked this up to cut my teeth in real estate photography. But because it is a budget lens, there is a significant amount of distortion and fuzziness around the edges of the images that are taken in small spaces that even with Lightroom corrections can sometimes be hard to fix. Best way around this is using panoramic techniques. Though it shines in large spaces, see my image of the church for an example.

If you get a good copy, this is a fun lens to use at night. I gave up trying to get a good copy...

Best bargain there is in a manual ultra-wide. Having a lens this wide be manual is also not an issue like it might be on a longer focal length.

Came with cap for each end and a soft bag. The lens I expected arrived.

Excellent lens !! Would recommend it for anyone that does Milky Way photography

Listed as being for Canon. But BEWARE: But it does not work with RP when mounted on EOS-RF Adapter. Camera will not shoot. Yes, we know it won't control focus or aperture. But camara simply will not fire at all.

This is a great beginner lens for astrophotography and night sky photos. I am just starting to teach myself how to take night sky photos and wanted a wide angle lens that I could use on my crop sensor Canon Rebel T6 and also on a full frame in case I ever upgrade in the future. This looked like the best lens I could find under $600, and I can't afford to spend much money on lenses as I am a college student! I've been spending the fall in Arizona so have had lots of chances to test it out on both astrophotography and landscape. I really like it for night time shoots, and have been very pleased with star trail photos especially! The slight fish eye is hard to work with when trying to stitch photos together, but I think that is my inexperience rather than the lens. It is somewhat frustrating to use during the day for landscapes; no autofocus, and I can't shoot on automatic mode ever because the camera body doesn't "know" what aperture the lens is set to. I also find that the lens gets fluff/dust and little hairs on the face of the lens very quickly that are noticeable in my daytime photos (and I am very careful about keeping the lens cap on unless actively shooting a photo). I would highly recommend this lens for astrophotography and milky way photography, but am not sold on its use as a more general wide angle lens.

The first image without E mount adapter is misleading. Remove it.

Lens are light. Affordable! Need practise manual focus. Will take it out next week to check it out!

I ordered this lens for Sony. It is a well built lens with smooth operation. I have used it for Astro photo and for flowers. It also worked very well for my wedding environment shots. Eg church and reception. I did want to draw attention to the extended barrel for Sony mirrorless. Not an issue, just an observation for size.

Much wider than Sony 24-70 f2.8. Image Quality is great. Price is great too.

This is good for a budget lens but not the best. You will get a little distortion. It's sharp but you will get a little vignette.

The package was fast and it came in perfect conditions. The lens in general has really good quality

I love this lens. I was really surprised by the image quality and sharpness given the price of it. I’d definitely recommend it.

Limited distortion. Great value.

For what the lens is priced at the quality seemed good. I thought the manual focus would be fine on the Sony A7iii but I was using the lens for real estate photos it was hard to focus while the camera was in a corner. Overall the lens was fine but I would for sure go with an af one in the future or maybe not as wide.

Great option for an inexpensive ultra wide lens, especially for someone like myself who is only dabbling in environmental shots and portraits. I mostly have used this lens for astrophotography, thus far, so the manual focus is a given. I would definitely recommend this set up for the hobbyist/enthusiast looking to add a great ultra wide option to their collection.

So far its been great! Super sharp and so wide. Perfect lens for the price!!!

When I received this lens, I did not expect much in a way of sharpness. Boy was I wrong. When used correctly, this lens will give you great looking images. If you are on a budget, this lens will adequately meet your ultra wide angle needs.

recently bought a Samyang 14mm f2.8. very wide and useful. however, the focus on my copy did not work very well. I tried to focus on the far view, even though I used the focus peak and tripod, I still can't focus on the objects that I want. the objects are blurry, and this situation also happened when I focus on something close (distance over 20cm), even my kit lens 28-70 is clearer than the Samyang (in the same condition, iso, shutter, aperture, distance)
