Amazingly sharp and affordable

Jul 24, 2015

With the AE chip, it can do matrix metering with my Nikon D7000 and D610. There is distortion, but correctable with lens profile downloadable. Very good value.

Fantastic Lens and I Love it :)

Jul 24, 2015

I shoot with prime lenses and I spend months reading forums/reviews to find the best wide angle lens for me. Although it seems like 14mm is bit too wide on my full frame, I now know that I found the best wide angle lens for me. The greatest thing in this lens which I experienced is it's superior image sharpness. I shoot with Canon 6D and 600D and the results are superb. I like the colors (specially wide blue sky with clouds) this lens offer. This... Show More

It's really sharp on my Nikon D800

Jul 12, 2015

The lens is amazingly good. Yes, it has distortion (which can be mostly corrected in Photoshop or Light room) but it's sharp at the edges of the frame and the corners of the images are sharp too on my D800. And we are talking about shooting the lens at f/4. I also own a Zeiss 21mm ZE and a Canon 16-35mm f/4 IS lens for my Canon 1Ds3. The Rokinon is just as sharp on a Nikon. Is it built as well as a Zeiss or Canon L lens? The answer is no but it i... Show More

Great Build. Poor Quailty Control.

Jul 12, 2015

1. Camera battery went down to zero over night. This happened two times on my 5DMIII 2.One forth of left side of image was very very blury. Top right corner was also blury. 3. Infinity focus was at the 1.5 ft. mark? 4. Build quality is good. Too bad Rokinon cannot get it right. At the very least, they should check their product before they send it out. Very disappointed. I bought this lens because I have read that it has very little coma. I was planning to use it for Milky Way Night Sky Photography. I have been photographing for 55 years. Been a Canon user for 25 years.

Perfect lens for Milky Way

Jul 6, 2015

I've only had this lens for a few weeks but I bought specifically to capture the milky way and it did not dissapoint. Its super fast and the wide angle allows you to capture more of the sky. I am so glad I went with this lens versus the pricier Canon version

Fun lens!

Jun 25, 2015

I was going to give it just 4 stars because it is fully manual, but hey, for a lens that is, it deserves 5 stars. In fact, I like the fact that its focusing ring has distance in both feet and meters to guide you, which is very helpful when you're running and gunning. Tip: although I did some Googling and found a lens correction profile to use in LR, I find that using the Canon 14mmL profile works better. I bought this lens to do astrophotography ... Show More

Perfect for night photography!

I purchased this lens because it came highly recommended as 'a great wide angle lens for astro-photography'...The price was right and the lens works great. Got some killer Milky Way shots with this lens my first time out. I can certainly recommend this lens with all confidence.

Very sharp for the money but...

Jun 10, 2015

Canon's 14mm II L performs better but costs 6 times more. So, for full sensor coverage; sharp (except corners); minimal CA; good contrast and reasonable vignetting this lens is a keeper for me. Of course you have to be comfortable with fully manual, and the severe Moustache curvalinear distortion must be corrected to get the most use out of it. It is impossible to correct easily in photoshop RAW like you can with other lenses with normal curvalin... Show More

Sharp, easy to use, great value.

Jun 5, 2015

I use this lens for night sky and landscape work. It is quite sharp and simple to use. At this focal length focus issues are minimal, but I do recommend memorizing some depth of field parameters for often used situations and a D of F app for your smart phone or pad is strongly advised. The build quality is quite good. The detents on the exposure ring are a welcome feature. There is no 'red dot' on the barrel for aligning the lens to the camera. L... Show More

Good performaer, fun lens

Jun 3, 2015

This lens is a solid performer and it's deficiencies are easily overcome. Good imaging performance and a creative wide angle of view make this lens enjoyable to use. It is full manual, which actually is fun for a change, and also shows quite some vignetting in the corners, but this is easily correct for in Lightroom. One additonal point I hadn't considered, but should have is the inability to use filters given the convex front element. I understa... Show More

Good Wide Angle Lens for Stars

May 15, 2015

I bought this lens for taking night shots with my Pentax K-5. The lens is manual focus, but the Pentax version does have an auto position on the aperture ring so the camera will control the aperture. I have used the lens for both day and night shots wide open at f/2.8 and I have been impressed by the sharpness. It is even better at f/4. One thing I noticed is that it is difficult to evaluate the sharpness and focus using either live view or on th... Show More

Excellent landscape lens

May 7, 2015

There is nothing wrong with manual focus and aperture. We are now spoiled as most lenses are fully automatic. This lens delivers excellent image quality from corner to corner and is the perfect addition to my kit as I am expanding my photography horizons.

Great for Astrophotography

Apr 23, 2015

In my mind this lens is great for one specific purpose astrophotography. For nighttime photography this lens (and the price) can't be beat. At 14mm it has an incredibly wide field of view. The manual focus is not an issue because (at least on my copy) the focus ring stops at the true infinity focal point. Even wide open at f/2.8, everything from 8 feet and beyond is in focus. The fact that you have to manually set the aperture is also not a probl... Show More

Great lens at a great price

Apr 19, 2015

I have only had the lens for a month at this point, so my review is still at an early stage. I bought this lens as I primarily shoot landscape and wide-field astrophotography, so I am not worried about AF. That being said, for sub $, this lens is the bomb. I cannot express how happy I am with the results of the performance of this lens. I have attached two wide-field shots I did less than 24 hours after I received the lens. This lens is great whe...

If you're looking for a lens for astronomy or a super wide angle landscape lens, this is it. It's fully manual but for the previously mentioned uses that's what you use anyway.

Normally, I stay away from non-nikkor lenses but the price and positive reviews pushed me into buying the Rokinon 14mm 2.8. It's manual focus but I'm old and grew up on manual focus (and an ultra-wide is far more forgiving than a telephoto). This lens is sharp with decent contrast and color. It appears to be of solid manufacture with smooth focus. The focus confirm/exposure chip works well. Better than expected in flare control. The protruding fr... Show More
