Measured against Sony mirrorless, 43 MP, KB: In the case of a super-wide-angle lens, we don't expect perfect imaging all the way to the edges at open aperture. But in the centre of the image, the performance must fit.

Product details
The 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC is an ultra-wide-angle lens with manual focus, suitable for both full-frame and APS-C cameras.
The 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC stands out for its exceptional optical performance and excellent price advantage. Even at a wide aperture of F2.8, the image quality is outstanding, making it perfect for landscape photography that requires high image quality. It is suitable for both professional and amateur photographers and videographers.
The 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC aspherical lens impresses with its high build quality and features a built-in petal-shaped lens hood that prevents unnecessary light from entering the camera. The Samyang 14mm F2.8 has a wide, ribbed manual focus ring that is smooth and well-damped.
The optical construction consists of 14 elements in 10 optical groups, including 3 high-refractive index elements, 2 ED elements, one aspherical hybrid element, and one aspherical glass element. The latest generation of anti-reflective coatings, UMC - Ultra Multi Coated, is incorporated to minimize stray light and ghosting. The lens comes with a special snap-on cap for the front lens, a rear lens cap, and a soft lens case.
The 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC Canon AE lens features an aperture control motor and a CPU chip to support automatic exposure (AE) for Canon cameras. The aperture can be controlled from the camera body thanks to the motor and chip. The correct focus is also indicated by a control light.
