    Very good for money, only budget ultrawide on FF, recomended. Original Nikon FF ultrawide 14mm 2.8 cost 1400$, this lens – about 325$.
    Most disadvantage is lack of AF, and some distorsion (can be fixed by software). AF not so critical on wide lenses but it most weak part of this rokinor/samyang/prooptic.
    Image qualty is good, its sharp even on f/2.8 and blade sharp on 4 and above.
    Focus ring very smoth – like nikon manual focus AI-s series. On my camera (d600) work all program mode (P,A,S,M), AF guide and AF confirm. its save correct EXIF.
    If you want ultrawide on FF and original Nikkor is to much expensive – this lens is only choice.

    Easy to use lense. Came with a nice case, compatible with my Nikon 3000. Need to jiggle it a few times to lock it into place.

    Great wide field lens Super sharp lens with a nice wide field. Attachment to the Nikon isn’t always easy but once it’s on, adjust the F stop using the buttons on the camera, as it will lock on at highest F stop. Found most sharpness for stars at around F/3.5. Daylight photos are great even at F/22

    Great for Astrophotography. Lens works great. It took the operator a while to figure out the camera with the lens.

    Good price for a good lens. Although has a minor scratch it doesn’t affect the picture quality. Good for video and very artsy picture quality.
