You're a great talker, very comforting voice. Convinced me in picking one up.

@firstdance2000 7 лет назад

Great review...! I do enjoy when there are pics showing 10 seconds, 15 seconds, etc; be it a starry sky or a stream. Thank you for your due diligence to the craft!

@RomiAlmeda 7 лет назад

As always, very informative video! Thank you for the straightforward information and you convinced me to buy this lens

@leeharrell777 8 лет назад

I went with the rokinon 24mm for astrophotography on my sony a7ii. Works great at night, and is more useful for other landscapes in the daytime too. Was able to use it a lot on a recent trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon and use ND filters with it.

@twoblink 7 лет назад

I use it on my Nikon D600 for all my architecture photography. With the lightroom distortion correction; the lines are perfect. Love this lens! Sharp!

@a.moevisuals 5 лет назад

Albert Yang I use the lightroom anti distortion. But it’s still not perfectly gone?

@omeshsingh8592 8 лет назад

Samyang also makes a 16mm f/2 for APS-C which is pretty good.

@fotonmom 8 лет назад

this was very informative...I have just started to shoot stars and trails and was looking for recommendations on lenses. Looks like I came to the right spot!

@dalibormrkic7808 8 лет назад

There are two great options from Rokinon for mirrorless APS-C cameras; 8mm f2.8 fisheye and 12mm f2.0. These lenses are designed for mirrorless cameras, and they are not available for DSLR's. Lens in this review is designed for DSLR and later adapted for mirrorlass, like Toby's Sony A7RII

@timforster2911 8 лет назад

Nice video, thanks for the info. Love shootings stars and got a 50 1.4 for smaller objects but I might consider picking up a wide-angle for milky way shots

@rodbell4222 2 года назад

Just purchased the Rokinon 14mm 2.8 lens, watched your video as well. Great review, can't wait to do some Milky Way work with this lens. Thanks!

@iSabier 8 лет назад

Excellent review. I like your understated style. The lens is intriguing.

@StereoSpace 8 лет назад

I really appreciate the way you focus on practical advice, as well as the tradeoffs and features you compare as price changes. Thanks!

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

+StereoSpace Thanks!

@criticalpoint7672 8 лет назад

For crop sensors the 10mm f/2.8 is the best choice. I have one and it is great. Mine is Samyang butt like you said, it is the same company.

@joaomarcelow1 4 года назад

Thanks

@TheRealTamamaster 8 лет назад

This was the first lens I bought with my low budget range and I couldnt be more satisfied with it. I use it on my Nikon D5500. Like in the video it is great for starry nights and the milky way, but i have gotten plenty of use out of it for daytime shots. Great when overcast or in a shaded area like a forest to pick up the full dynamic range. All around great lens for the entry level or casual photographer.

@flashhog01 5 лет назад

Great video. I am with you on the campaign to inform people super wide angle lenses are not the best idea for landscapes.

@ASSADZMANFILMS 3 года назад

I just ordered this lens from Amazon I can't wait to use it!

@photorectoby 3 года назад

Exciting!

@imagophotography498 3 года назад

Got mine on Prime day. Great deal despite all the negative stuff this guy says.

@DriveCancelDC 8 лет назад

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I received it last night and today I'll be taking it to a waterfall and mountainous area along with my D810 and 35mm Sigma, looking forward to it! I have been wanting an ultra wide for a while. Next lens will be a 105mm macro I think! A shame I cannot use my CPL and ND filters but I'm going to use image averaging to get an ND effect if I can't slow the shutter enough. :)

@ZR1Terror 7 лет назад

I love my Rokinon lens. Have taken some awesome pictures.

@HSTMachine 3 года назад

Thank you for not putting awful 'background' music throughout the video. & great review!

@MaxwellStarr 8 лет назад

I sold my Tokina 11-16 and bought the Vivitar version of this lens when I made my jump to Full Frame, for night sky shots it's really quite amazing and I shot one of my best-ever photos with it. It does sometimes leave me wanting to go back to a wide-angle zoom however as it's often too wide for what I want, but for the price of it, who can argue?

@rarity2006 7 лет назад

I have decided to get the 16mm as I have a crop sensor t5i/ 700D seem to be the best choice for the stars unless you have a better idea or suggestion. Thanks for your review

@Internetlo 5 лет назад

what are your thoughts on this lens vs the sigma 16mm 1.4 for astro?

@antonv. 6 лет назад

thanks

@astrobri 7 лет назад

I have tried several Budget lenses for the Milky Way and the Rokinon 14mm is now the only lens I use . On my 60D It is quite good but I have now bought a 6D and the results are Fantastic for me .

5 лет назад

Hello and thanks for the video. What your opinion for video architecture?

@shibainu8235 6 лет назад

Im wanting to get into landscape and astrophotography, do you recommend the samyang 14mm 2.8 or samyang 12mm 2.0

@spandauguard1 5 лет назад

I plan on purchasing this lens for use on my Canon M50 with a .71 lens speed booster which I have. This will give me a full frame equivalent of a 16mm F2.0 on my M50 which has focus peaking. Great for filming night sky.

@timbonnette6615 7 лет назад

I've had my Sony a7r2 are for about a year now along with my Rokinon 14mm F2.8 manual lens. Has anyone had the same frustration with focusing this lens. My copy is no where near hyper focal for accuracy and seems to change on a daily basis depending on if I am focusing from the left or right of the hyper focal currently marked. I've had other copies of different Rokinon glass which were very good for hyper focal points. However, I am missing way too many night shots, and day shots for that matter, with this lens. Any suggestions would be welcome. I have used focus assist, not focus assist and so one but pinning this thing down has been tuff. Thanks in advance....Tim

@MarkLeckington1965 8 лет назад

12mm Prime Rokinon f2.0 lens is a great deal. Has a flat lens rather than domed lens, so you can use filters. Also it's great for mirrorless camera's and has 110 degree angle rather than a 90 degree which the 14mm has.

@rockymountaindobermans8618 7 лет назад

I have a NIKON D4S and this lens is marvelous lens. Very easy to focus for a beginner. When I want those extra wide I remove the 24-70 . I use this lens a lot landscape wedding and when I want to be creative. Images are very sharp

@photoadventures 5 лет назад

Got the Rokinon 14mm 2.8. You mention you have difficulty shooting landscapes with this lens from you trip in NZ, during the day I can imagine so however I love shooting landscapes with this lens and especially during night skies allowing you to get close to your subjects and light them up with headlamps!

@pouyapouya8948 8 лет назад

Am photographer of 40 years and this lens is the best money you pay, can buy. Even when compared with with a lot more expensive lenses still this one shines. Simply a gem and must have for Night time shooter, wildfield astrophotographers and low light landscaper.

@philbuglass4857 8 лет назад

I agree with the comments about focusing the 10-18mm... My last astro session was a total bust, since I just could not find infinity on that lens! I bought this Rokinon, and will be trying it out on my 5DII when I get some clear skies. I did wonder about whether the 'stop' was actually at infinity or a bit beyond, but it has to be easier than the Canon!

@GRJOHN360 6 лет назад

Hi Sir! Nice video! Im confused and i cant choose between 10mm f 2.8(crop version) and 14mm f2.8(full frame version). Which one is better for my crop camera(d5500)? Im afraid that 14mm will be better overall because it is for full frame and i dont know if i have to sacrifice some mm to get the 14mm or the 10mm will be perform the same. Please help me!

@cadeclark2551 8 лет назад

I have this lens. I really like it. For me it was a GREAT purchase.

@XBOXNationTVHD 8 лет назад

on amazon, the rokinon 14mm is fixed....is it the same on the other website you provided us?

@themobileman6895 7 лет назад

Just curious to know when turning the focusing ring does the lens go beyond the manual mark all the way to the infinity symbol? I have the same lens but it is branded as Samyang and it does not stop at the manual mark but continues on to the infinity symbol on the lens barrel. I'm never sure which to set the lens on when photographing the stars. The images look the same to me.

@GavinColbourne 7 лет назад

I am looking at getting my first budget wide angle lens and I am looking at either this or the 16mm f/2 on a Nikon D5500 mostly for night sky and some landscape and as it is a crop sensor which one of the 2 lenses would be best to go for?

@brown55061 8 лет назад

I always wondered how those worked for stars, so you answered one question that was on my bullet point list.

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

+brown55061 Glad I could help.

@ahmetkemal2710 4 года назад

Great review as usual - I am looking for some advice on my next lens for Canon 90d predominantly for astrophotography architecture and some low light photography - I have Tokina 11-20 and Sigma 18-35 and was looking for a fisheye lens but can not decide between a Samyang 8mm f3.5 or Sigma 10mm f2.8 is the extra 3/4 stop worth the extra money vs quality for night photography - any help is appreciated Kind Regards Ahmet

@markharris5771 8 лет назад

I definitely think that the 14mm is very useful in landscape photography as long as the composition is right. As you did you need leading lines or a true foreground interest. I also enjoy the fact it is so manual, I'm a Canon user so don't get the in focus beep Nikon users have, so it slows me right down making sure everything is in focus etc and it's beautifully sharp. I also agree you can get great landscapes on the 70-200 which I usually have with me and I also use the Sigma 18-35 which can be an amazing lens. But the best tool for landscapes is thinking about your composition.

@cartmanbruh23 7 лет назад

What mode one should use in the camera when using this lens? Manual or Bulb or AV? I believe I can set the ISO, fstop and focus.

@merttekkin5531 4 года назад

@carlosmartinezDP 8 лет назад

I have a question, what you say about the Opteka 6.5mm f3.5 you can found this one $150 usa

@loufasullo880 8 лет назад

I have this lens, and its the best value for shooting the night sky.The image quality is very good.

@craigwilson1604 5 лет назад

have you heard of any problems as mine is out of focus on the right side of the lens at 2.8, but as you stop down it gets sharper, every other part of the image is in focus aswell its just on the right side the softness. its on a canon 7d so im not sure how it fares on a full frame.

@RandyBertrand 8 лет назад

Hi Toby, I just upgraded to a Sony AR7II from a Nikon D600 and plan to shoot the milky way in Acadia in a couple weeks. Your review has got me thinking of getting this bargain lens for the stars. I currently use the Tokina 16-28mm 2.8 lens but I am thinking of selling the Tokina and getting The Rokinon. Not sure which lens is sharper. I'm thinking of getting the Rokinon and have them battle it out :) Thanks for the excellent review!

@ColonelRuiz 8 лет назад

Is there a post where you share your experience using the 10-18mm canon for shooting stars? Id like to see its limits

@djbjkaka9 6 лет назад

Can we use this Rokinon 14 mm f2.8 with canon 700D ? For milkyway photography

@li-chungchih7494 8 лет назад

that tokina was very Tempting but the CA was crazy with night skies.

@jespencer7805 8 лет назад

There is the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm f2 for CSC cameras, I have one for my Fuji although allowing for the crop it is equivalent to 18mm

@felancarlogarcia1265 6 лет назад

How does this compare with the Rokinon 24mm lens? I'm torn choosing between the two :'(

@luigibarbonetti6606 7 лет назад

Hi, to shoot the milky way which is better between Samyang 14mm F2.8 and 12mm F2? I'll use it on Sony a6300. Thank you!

@JustinVK 8 лет назад

I have one and its great with my 7D.

@Jeanlofy 8 лет назад

Thanks for your comments on the Canon 10-18mm lens. I was wondering if that would work for the stars. You just saved me some money.

@pauloviegas7957 3 года назад

It does work for stars I made quite a lot of photos of the milky way and startrails using that lens not so long ago.

@silver-gs8ne 6 лет назад

Which is good for ahooting landscape. Manual or auto fox lense

@SantoshJadhav-jp3fw 6 лет назад

It appears to be a cheaper alternative for astrophotography. However can the newly launched 16-35 f2.8 gmaster be used for the astrophotography? It seems even g master is with focus by wire lens and infinity focus can be an issue. Also unlike Canon L lenses, G Master do not have the focus dial.

@lorenzostheman 3 года назад

I've heard that the crop factor also applies to the aperture. Not only does it change the lens focal length but it would change the aperture from 2.8 to 4.0 in this video.

@07wrxtr1 7 лет назад

I'm voting this guy the Nobel Peace prize SIMPLY for mentioning not ALL landscapes have to be done with a wide angle lens! FINALLY someone gets it.

@Kshitiz1785 7 лет назад

That was a nice video to know about the lenses for night photography. But could you suggest me a wide angle lens for Nikon D7200 for night photography. I'll be thankful to you :) :) .

@Mahmoudabuhaltam 8 лет назад

so could i use it with my panasonic gh4 to shoot some timelapses ?

@danieljardine8731 4 года назад

Having to manually focus doesn’t bother me but you need to have good vision imgs.love/RokinonLens or wear your glasses/contacts. I use this for weather, architecture, landscapes, family portraits, and sometimes even birth photography. I need more equipment for astrophotography but that is on my list.

@121snapshots 8 лет назад

What about the rokinon 10mm is good for shooting the night sky?

@coppercabjr4865 7 лет назад

I am planing on getting this lens to my sony a3000 and take many night skay photos but can I still try to take other sort of photos with it like lanscape and macro O thought of macro becouse of the long adn smoth focus ring but I dosnt knoe hoe good it is and you said the lens was not so good for lanscape becouse of the small focol lengt but is it posible to get som good shots ?

@chaosncheckt9356 8 лет назад

Hi, liked your video. I'm a beginner using a Canon t5i with standard kit lens. After some experimenting on my own with the kit lens and night photography and reviewing tons of youtube videos, I decided to take the plunge and get the Rokinon 14mm. I found your photos with camera settings informative and will be trying them this weekend in beautiful Florida with my new lens.

@SubsolarTV 7 лет назад

CHAOSNCHECK T how is it?

@MyFavoriteVegan 7 лет назад

How is this working for you on your T5i? I also have a T5i and considering getting this lens. Is it wide enough for stars? Currently I have my 18-55 kit lens and the Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens, but it's only a 3.5. I want to know how this lens works for star photography on a crop sensor at 2.8.

@ancientfishing 7 лет назад

It depends, I like the 14mm for full frame cameras, but I prefer the f1.4 24mm for APS-C. Its a great landscape lens also.

@MyFavoriteVegan 7 лет назад

So the f3.5 fisheye would still get the job done for star photography or no? I already have the fisheye lens, I just haven't gotten around to trying the night shots. As far as the wide angle lens, since I use a Canon t5i, I was thinking of getting the Rokinon 10mm 2.8, but if the fisheye will work fairly good, I'd rather save a few hundred and not get another lens. What do you think? ps. My photography is just for fun and not actual work. But you know how it is, you get a camera and you want ALL the lenses. lol

@philnolan7193 8 лет назад

Hi Toby, thanks for another great video. I am relatively new to photography and really like the photo you showed at 1:58, I have not seen anything like that and wondered if you would share how it is done? I like to take photos and time lapse of sunsets, then do astro photography and star trails, so it would be great to try your effect. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Phil (from NZ).

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

HI Phil, Thanks and I talk all about that shot and how to achieve it in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w3X_R_6cslU.html

@misterr2359 8 лет назад

Toby, the Nikon version of the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED with the AE chip costs less than the regular version, costing $319,99. Wow!

@FrankP83 6 лет назад

what about the Maike 12mm F2.8 or the Rokinon 12mm F2.0?

@deeber35 3 года назад

how does this compared to the Tokina 14-20mm f/2 AT-X PRO DX? The Tamron 35mm f/1.8?

@tengomalasuerte 8 лет назад

Thanks Toby. Is really nice to see how you have improved your skills to make really nice videos. Does it make you sense to buy the Nikon version with AE chip and add a cheap adapter to have focus confirmation in my Canon body? Greetings from Chile

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

+tengomalasuerte No - cheap adapters will not pass along the AF info.

@morbly 8 лет назад

Toby, I didn't catch you mentioning that the Tokina and Canon options you list are both aps-c only (the Tokina does actually work at 16mm without vignetting on full frame). There is the 16-28mm Tokina for full frame.

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

Samyang 10 mm F2.8 Lens for Canon 7d is better for that body then?

@mikehunt5626 6 лет назад

Been using the brilliant a7s for 3 years now and agree with what you said. Except I prefer the 24 f1.4 Rokinon as my 1st choice. But both are fantastic lenses.

@photorectoby 6 лет назад

24mm f/1.4 is fantastic.

@carolinaizquierdocampos4810 7 лет назад

Hola, esto es compatible con una canon 7D?, o es que tengo que comprar un adaptador?, te agradezco la respuesta. Saludos

@ron30865 7 лет назад

No, no necesitas un adaptador. Este lente funciona en Full Frame tanto como en APS-C (puedes usarlo en tu 7D sin problemas y sin necesitar adaptador).

@tahahussainkarbalai412 6 лет назад

Is this lens is compatible for Nikon d7200 ?

@tskcthulhu 7 лет назад

but that's only for crop sensors, not full frame.

@roozbehbey 6 лет назад

What about this one Toby? Samyang 16mm f/2 ED AS UMC

@wishwanderer5664 5 лет назад

Nobody is talking about filters... Can we use ND filters on this ? I don't think so, the circular ones.. what about the square Cokin p series ones... How difficult or straightforward is it if you somehow can use filters?

@user-rq7gy1xf3m 7 лет назад

Hi Toby, awesome videos by the way, in your opinion which lens would you choose. SAMYANG-14 f2.8 Canon EF or SAMYANG-16 f2 Canon EFS. I live in NZ and I want to do night shots, cheers Rob

@photorectoby 7 лет назад

Hi Rob - I haven't used the 16mm f/2 but from what I hear most people prefer the 14mm. Sharper and just a little bit wider is nice!

@baodo7905 8 лет назад

Hey Toby. I have a question totally unrelated to this video. I am SORRY. I have a NIKON D5300. I want a 50mm prime but nikon doesn't sell them for DX format anymore. Will image quality and sharpness be affected if I bough a 35mm 1.8 FX lense for my DX body?

@jerjaws 6 лет назад

no it will not. i shoot stars with my 35mm. there is DX for nikon now

@elizabethlanza8111 3 года назад

How could I use the Rokinon lens with a canon rebel T7

@prakkari 7 лет назад

Use it on my Sony a7r for aurora photography. Simply the best. $300 is a steal. Can not think of a more expensive lens matching its quality. Lightroom takes good care of the distortion, though not perfectly near the edges. With my 32Mp I can afford a little crop to get rid of that. If you are shooting Aurora borealis, this is the perfect lens. No issues focusing. Infinity is where it is supposed to be, so I focus in the dark without seeing a damn thing.

@paingates2 5 лет назад

Thank you for talented review, what about canon 8-15 F4 L for Astrophotography.? Do you recommend it .. thanks in advance 🌹

@TheJudge064 5 лет назад

It good, but it's really dark too. Also, it's really really expensive. There are tons of prime lenses that'd be both way better at astro and have better value for money

@hassanshukor7559 6 лет назад

Is this lens a good option to capture auroras using a Canon 77D? Any recommendation? Many thanks!

@Noksus 5 лет назад

Is the speech to music volume difference so huge on purpose?

@blackjohnny0 8 лет назад

I think a6000 with Samyang 12/2.0 is better if we talk about budget. Plus you can use filters.

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

+blackjohnny0 on an APS-C yes but that's not as wide as the 14mm on a FF sensor.

@JohnFooteClayton 7 лет назад

It's also not equivalent to f/2

@alexyap3659 7 лет назад

canon 600d + samyang 14mm is cheaper though

@PabloAM93 7 лет назад

In light gathering terms it is. In DOF it is not

@EnnTomi1 8 лет назад

thx for quick reply. May I know why? I though The only difference is Max aperture.?

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

+Liangshi Xu Yes. The wider aperture helps you keep your ISO lower or your shutter speed shorter. Like I said it certainly isn't a big difference but it is a difference that makes it a little harder to do the same quality shot. a little. don't worry about it :)

@robinj6831 5 лет назад

Just bought this lens and went out to shoot the milky way. Everything is totally blurry. I was shooting at 2.8 for anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds. Using a Canon EOS. What am I doing wrong? I tried infinity and even tried moving it in a bit, but with no improvement.

@NandishA 8 лет назад

Hi Toby, Is Canon T6(i/s) + Canon 10-18 mm a good pair for landscapes for Sony A6000 + Rokinon(14mm/12mm)

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

+Nandish A Please watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A_Hwdc-_Sks.html but yes - they give you similar views. Canon is less versatile with starting f/4.5 but very good during daytime.

@smilie120 8 лет назад

I have a Crop sensor DSLR, but I'm aware Rokinon make a 10mm f2.8, looking at the example you provided I'm a bit disappointed it isn't much wider than the kit lense, stuck between this and a Tokina 11-16mm for my D3300 (wouldn't be able to use autofocus). Any input will be massively appreciated! Both lenses will be used for astrophotography.

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

+smilie120 Take a look at this page - with all the alternatives laid out and and let me know if you have any questions photorec.tv/2016/03/rokinon-14mm-best-budget-lens-for-astrophotography/

@ajv1068 Год назад

is it good with a canon eos 80d?

@morganfrowall 8 лет назад

Samyang/Rokinon is a really good and cheap lens for astrophotography, but one of the best lens I'm using that works even better is Tamron SP 15-30/2,8 Di VC USD.If you buy a used Tokina 11-16 f/2., be aware not to buy the mark-I that have problem with coma, and make the stars looks like arrows in the corner of the picture.

@filipposanfilippo 6 лет назад

Hi, thank you for this review. Did you have the chance to test the new version of this lens with autofocus? Samyang AF 14mm F2.8 FE? Will this new version still be a good option?

@photorectoby 6 лет назад

how about the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D? and what about the Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM?

@LoriGraceAz 8 лет назад

The Samyang 14mm f/2.8 (same lens as yours) was one of my first purchases for night photography. I know it's known as a "budget lens" but damn, I get some fantastic and sharp images using that. It's still my go to lens though I'm finding some neat Astro uses for my Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens!

@photorectoby 8 лет назад

+LoriBravo Right - just because it is a budget lens doesn't mean we should discount it as no pro or serious - it is fantastic!

@behradvphotos1924 4 года назад

How about distortion and vignetting? Is it reasonable to buy samyang 35mm f1.4 instead of this lens and capture sky and star night with panaroma trick???

@photorectoby 4 года назад

The Rokinon does have some distortion and vingetting but it is still a great budget pick. The 35mm f/1.4 on a full frame is OK but better is something in the 20 - 24 range that is f/1.4 or f/1.8
