Mission Accomplished
As a serious amateur landscape photographer, I find this lens to be an excellent choice. It yields razor sharp imagery with extreme depth of field on my D800E. This lens is one of the best price to value propositions on the market today.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Excellent sharpness
- Rugged
- Strong Construction

SAMYANG 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC Lens for CANON
An excellant choice and surely better than canon or nikon at the same focal length as it maintain sharpness across the while frane range unlike others. Manual focus is a challenge specially at night when aiming at stars
Pros:
- Excellant for wideopen photography and landscape
Cons:
- Manual focuse

Best Bang for Your Buck!
Im very much into super wide photography. Night sky, Milky Way, Sunsets/sunrise, you name it. The sharpness is very good. Great color and contrast. There is some serious distortion to deal with, but Lightroom has a Samyang Profile correction which knocks that out with a click.

This is the second lens I received from Amazon after returning the first for the same issues (only this one may even be slightly worse). When using the live view function of my camera zoomed all the way in on a distant point source of light like a star, the light gradually gets smaller and smaller,...

Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC
Although it can be used on both 'full frame' and APS-C DSLRs, Samyang's 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC lens is best suited to 'full frame' DSLRs, where it covers a maximum angle of view equal to 115.7 degrees and can focus down to 0.28 meters (28 cm).

Very good value
Excellent optical performance with rugged construction. No electronic connection to the camera, so manual aperture and focus. Better on mirrorless cameras where the manual aperture is not a problem. Good value.
Pros:
- Durable
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Sharp with correctable distortion
Sharp, wide correctable distortion, Nikon version with AE chip gives exposure, changing f stop and shutter speed from camera, manual focus but there is focus confirmation dot. For landscapes at F11 the depth of field is huge and I leave it to infinity focus.
