Rokinon 14MM F/2.8: Beautiful Lens & Great Value

I now have 3 Rokinon lenses (2 Sony, 1 Olympus) and the only complaint I have is with their beautiful 50MM 1.4 and the AF noise when using video. This 14MM lens is a beauty (looks quite nice on my black Oly) it’s silky smooth, excellent quality and great photos. Both cameras have peaking/magnification so manual focus is not an issue as long as I’m not shooting superman, sprints or birds :].
Bottom line: The Rokinons do not compare to the Sony or Olympus branded primes WRT auto focus (except the new Rokinon AF for Sony), water/dust repel, and image stabilization, however, if you are willing to live without this wonderful technology, the Rokinon will force you to improve your composition and the results will be similar if not better than your prime/zoom compositions. Also, you pay about %60 less for the wonderful Rokinon/Samyang lenses.

Good value but focus difficult

Cons. Heavy a little difficult to focus. Also picture is wrong there is another black adapter type metal tube on the end adding a few more inches to length. Unless you can manual focus good get the AF version.Read full review...

Great bang for the buck Super Wide-Angle fast lens.

Finally able to capture some decent super wide photos of the milky way and stars, thanks to this lens. Good combo of wide and fast. Manual focus is not a big deal for landscape photos, especially with Sony's Focus Peaking feature enabled. Focus once, and don't worry about it.

Cons: Corner sharpness is less than ideal, as well as a bit of extra chroma when shooting wide open.

Everything I'd expect from this type of lens and more!

This lens is amazing for video - the wide angle is so beautiful - it works so magically hand held as well as on a gimball. There is barely any need to shift the focus, unless you're constantly moving from extreme closeup to wide shots. Everything I'd expect from this type of lens and more!Read full review...

Good for video or still imaging

Tack sharp through the middle stops and very little -if any- edge fringe. Exactly what I've been looking for for astro and ultra wide landscape work. It also focuses close enough that the wider f/stops give excellent out-of-focus performance. Good for video or stills, and totally fun on either.Read full review...

Might take a few tries to get a clear copy

I got this lens used, and it wasn't a sharp lens even on my a6000. On a full frame body it was noticeably soft in the corners. There was an unacceptable amount of slop between the lens moving parts, so I returned it. The Rokinon 12mm f2 is a far better bet.Read full review...

"Super" is an understatement.

I was excited to get this lens and try it out, expecting a decent field of view, but I was blown away by what came through the viewfinder. Its like using ur eyes to frame a picture. Can't wait to get some star photos with this. My only problem with it — and it is a very slight problem — is that there seems to be a good amount of chromatic abboration at close distances. But you get get what you pay for, and, in this case, it is still a bargain. Great, fun lens.Read full review...

Rokinon 14mm f2.8 manual focus lens

A great way to get good glass without the expense of auto focus and image stabilization.

Very affordable, sharp, wide angle lens! winner

Great Lens! Great Price! Very sharp wide angle on a full frame camera. Great for landscape,
astro photography and real estate photos.
Very little pin cushion ...easily fixed in lightroom.

Great value for the price

Lens was as described. This is a great lens for the price. Took me a minute to figure out the manual focus, but love it.
