ROKINON 14MM REVIEW: BEST WIDE ANGLE ON A BUDGET? 

Thanks for this review 👍

I have the 10mm cropped frame version which is pretty much equivalent to this one on a full frame and I was blown away by its sharpness. It's extremely wide so I thought of getting this 14mm one I didn't know it's a full frame but now you relaxed my craving so thanks :) I highly recommend it. Learning to manual focus has big advantages!

Thanks for this guide, super helpful! Actually been wanting to buy this leas for awhile :)

Good review, I just bought the AE version in EF mount. Great lens. Also love the @ryan little beats.

Sold my my Canon 10-18 ef-s which I used on a 7d mark II. Now I use this lens on Canon 6d and I'm happy with the sharpness of this lens.

I have a Canon 6D2. With no electronic connections will it confuse the camera body and think no lens has been installed? I have no problem doing focus and aperture manual adjustments on the lens. As long as the Canon body is happy with it.

i have Rokinon 35mm f1.2 manual focus and my god the sharpness and the quality of the image just amazing

Everything you listed as a "Negative" is what I NEED a lens for when out shooting HDR! having an AF lens that is constantly hunting Focus is a Bitch in the field when Sharp is what you need! not a lens that does all of the thinking for you! a Long Focus Pull is for NAILING Focus! no one using this lens is shooting Sports

For the price this is an awesome lens. My go to for landscape photography.

Is this compatible for Nikon d7000

I just got it and it’s fire 🔥!! Thanks!

Looks like a great lens for landscape, the edges look fine, definitely not a deal breaker

Hii. I have Panasonic s5 leica L mount. Can i use this lens with my cam ?

I bought this lens specifically for shooting Milkyway pictures. Very happy with it for this purpose. The fact it doesn't auto focus is not a big deal for my use-case.

Focusing a lens with a long throw is easier to focus accurately than one with a short throw.

I recently bought this lens specifically for Night Sky photography and loo it for that purpose! Have not used it for anything else yet, but may try some Landscapes. Can't beat it for the price.

im after a lens for indoor use, very good lighting and video pans on a tripod. is a very old ZEISS Distagon T* 21mm f/2.8 ZE Lens for Canon Ef at $650 used a much better choice on my 2 cameras, a canon 80d aps-c and a full frame sony a7r3 withe a metabones iv adapter. please suggest a lense, max buget $800 previously owned. mostly well lit interiors, maybe 20 percent outdoor shots

The Rokinon 14mm comes with or without the AE chip to focus. So, potential buyers who want the auto focus you do have the option however, it costs roughly a $100 more than the one without the AE chip.

Hi does this lens goes well and still maintain the 14mm on the canon Sl2 ? Wanting to buy this one but need this information before

Hi, great video! what camera did you use to shoot with?

The lens has a slot for Cut Filters on the backside for the Nikon Z model.

hello, fits a6000??

You're in Mt. Laguna in this video?

Which adapter are you using with your Sony camera?

That is a cine lens so the apurture ring being manual and the focusing ring being realy long are actualy advantages

Good choice

I got that lens but newer version. yes the autofocus is manual but the aperture I can change it trough my camera aperture controls. (nikon d750) best buy I had ever made i highly recomended this lens. if you buy it used buy it trought a well know camera seller. I bought my at adorama.

Would you recommend this for real estate photography?

Note: The newest release of this lens has auto-focus.

The long travel on the focus is because it's a cine lens. Samyang's equivalent also has unstepped (no click) aperture ring for smooth cine aperture adjustment. It's no big deal. Just intended for another use. You'll get used to it.

Compatible in fujifilm xt100?

Does this work well with a Canon T6i?

Will this fit on a canon rebel t3i

nice

Sometimes I forget how mollycoddled or unskilled people are when someone has to explain how to use an aperture ring.

It’s a prime lens. Changing the from 2.8-22 stop is normal to do in that way.

You should probably know never to put a polarizing filter on an ultra-wide lens, or even on some mildly wide lens like a 21mm. You will see the beginning and the end of the filter's effect in the sky on both sides of the frame. So, that should be a non issue for this lens! As for ND filters, bracket 5 exposures and do an expert HDR merge in Photomatix Pro or something like that.

I just got this lens for $150. Trying to use it to get Milky Ways shots..... as soon as the sky clears!

how to purchase in INDIA rockinon lenses...

Got it for 130$ on Amazon … it was a open box used

No need Auto focus in Wide Angle lenses .

I;m selling one of these of anyone is in the Toronto area (e mount)

as he goes over all the NEGATIVES, as a video guy I am thinking.. well those are good things.. big gears, and everything on the lens,. NICE no camera house fuck-ups :D but that might just be me

what about the distortion. i heard its bad

you should do reviews on android/apple phone camera optics

This lens is made generally for Astrophotography..The minor details of, no auto focus, manual aperture ring, are nothing..barrel distortion and chromatic aberration are also nothing and easy fix in software..i wouldn't use this lens for daytime photography but for the stars it's brilliant for the price.

2 minutes to say manual focus/fStop 🙄 We know it’s a fully manual lens. Otherwise a good review

Dude the Samyang 21mm f1.4 is the boy... Especially for Astro.. A no brainer. Never buying a native lens again...And who gives a fuck about auto when shooting astro ?? Money saved means I can buy another 2 lenses.. Sony and Zeiss are taking the piss..As usual all about the label... Done with their extortion... Total arse sauce...Because its made in Japan ?? Lol... I am guessing Samyang/ Rokinon will take the lions share of the market..And this is in the field usage... Too many gimps plugging expensive glass...

An aperture ring is a problem, really?

Decent budget astro-photography lens and works well for landscape shots in broad daylight with plenty of sun. Not usable for much else from my experience. Horrendous in low light and oddly bad indoors even in decent lighting despite being a 2.8. Video is terribly shaky even with slow pan, have to use a tripod if you want any kind of stable video with this lens. Build quality is solid and it feels like a more expensive lens. Love it for shooting night sky and some wide angle weather and cloud shots, but don't find much use for it elsewhere. It is a "bargain" lens and I'd suggest trying to get it used vs. paying the $300-400 new.

These lenses are not made for photographers, they have F stop versions that are. You’re reviewing a cinema lens that is made for video. So all your negatives are completely null.

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

so much blah blah ... more interested in seeing what it looks like ... bye

Stop using the lens as a pointer! You are waving it around like you are conducting an orchestra!

I think the lens was intended as a cheap psudo cinema lens alternative. The "negative" features you mentioned are actual features needed for cine lenses. (BTW, even non cine lenses in the past used aperture rings as all cameras then where fully manual). The lack of ability to screw on filters is not also a problem for cine lenses as Matte boxes are used to hold filters. The thing that makes it not a true cinema lens are the non de clicked aperture ring and the built in lens hood. I also dont know if it is part of series of lenses that have same diameter size. Rokinon does offer real Cinema lenses that have all the features needed for cine lenses. This seems to be geared for those who take both photo and videos, using DSLR cameras.

Compatible with the sony alpha 6000 series?
