Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 Sony FE

Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 Sony FE – Ultra-wide autofocus for Sony E-mount

Designed for Sony mirrorless cameras

The Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 FE is made for use on Sony's mirrorless full-frame cameras with the E-mount. In addition, the lens will also work perfectly on cameras with an APS-C sensor, where it delivers an ultra-wide field of view equivalent for that format.

Autofocus compatibility

The lens offers autofocus that is compatible with both contrast-detection and phase-detection systems. This ensures it can work with the autofocus systems used by many Sony bodies.

Build quality and hood design

Samyang has built this lens with a metal barrel, which contributes to a solid feel and durability. The lens includes a fixed hood that prevents stray light from hitting the front lens element, reducing the risk of unwanted flare from off-axis light sources.

However, because the hood is fixed, the lens lacks a front filter thread. Therefore, you cannot attach standard front screw-in filters directly to this lens.

Optical construction and coatings

The optical design consists of 14 elements arranged in 10 groups. Among these elements, three are aspherical, which help provide strong sharpness across the image, even at large apertures. In addition, Samyang applies its Ultra Multi Coating to the lens elements. This coating minimizes reflections, flare and ghosting, and it helps ensure high image contrast.
