Well-suited for landscapes, nature, and astrophotography, the Nikon F-mount AF 14mm f/2.8 from Samyang is a brilliant ultra-wide prime characterized by its autofocus design and immense field of view. The optical design features one extra-low dispersion element, two aspherical elements, and four high refractive index elements, which help to reduce a variety of aberrations and distortions for increased sharpness, clarity, and color rendering. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to individual elements to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optical design, the autofocus system utilizes a lightweight focusing group for quick and quiet performance to benefit both still and video applications. Additionally, the lens also has an all-metal housing and is sealed for inclement weather conditions.
