Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 FE

Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 FE is a camera glass that provides a wide-angle view for full-frame cameras. It has a high aperture value, which means it can capture bright photos. The lens has 7 aperture blades, which is standard for mid-grade lenses, and provides a circular out-of-focus effect. The lens weighs 505 grams and is 97 mm long, so it may be heavy and require consideration when carrying it in a camera bag. The lens is manufactured by Samyang and has autofocus capabilities. It has multiple lens elements and a lens coating that improves image quality. It is a high-quality photographic lens that can capture sharp and detailed images. There are alternative lenses available in the market, but this lens provides a good balance between build quality and affordability.

Positives: The Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 FE camera lens is an outstanding piece of glass. The autofocus is fast and accurate, and the image quality is fantastic. It’s a great lens for landscape and architecture photography, and also for astrophotography thanks to its fast aperture and wide field of view. The build quality is excellent, and the lens feels solid and well-made.

Negatives: The lens is quite bulky and heavy, which can make it a bit cumbersome to carry around for extended periods of time. Also, there is some distortion at the edges of the frame, but this can be easily corrected in post-processing.

Conclusion: Overall, the Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 FE camera lens is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a wide-angle lens with autofocus for their Sony mirrorless camera.
