The Samyang 1.4/21mm lens assists the user in creatively capturing extraordinary perspectives, even from close distances, as it has a minimum focusing distance of just 28 centimeters.

Focusing and aperture adjustment are done manually, as is typical for Samyang. The already very compact dimensions of this all-metal light giant remain unchanged during focusing due to its internal focusing mechanism. On APS-C cameras, the full-frame equivalent focal length is approximately 31.5 millimeters, and on Micro Four Thirds cameras, it is 42 millimeters.

With a high light intensity of a maximum aperture of 1.4, successful images can also be captured under challenging lighting conditions. Among the eight glass elements arranged in seven groups are three multi-coated aspherical lenses and one ED glass element, which effectively reduce chromatic aberrations. The large rotation angle and precise mechanics allow for pinpoint focusing and creative manipulation of the depth of field.
