Samyang MF 14mm f/2.8 Canon RF

Samyang MF 14mm f/2.8 RF – 14mm ultra wide-angle for landscape, astro and travel photography

The Samyang MF 14 mm f/2.8 RF is an ultra wide-angle lens designed for Canon mirrorless cameras with an RF mount. It fits full-frame cameras and delivers a very wide field of view suited to landscape, astro and travel photography.

Manual focus and mechanical controls

This lens uses manual focus only. It features a wide, smooth focus ring that gives you precise control when framing wide scenes or focusing on stars. Additionally, the aperture is adjusted using a traditional mechanical ring with full stop markings.

Note: The lens does not include electrical contacts or a CPU, so aperture control is fully mechanical.

Robust build and weather protection

The barrel is solidly constructed from metal. Furthermore, the lens is weather sealed to reduce the risk of dust and moisture entering the interior, making it suitable for outdoor use in variable conditions.

Optical design and coatings

The optical design uses 14 elements in 10 groups. It includes 3 High Refractive (HR) elements and 2 aspheric elements to help maintain sharpness and resolution across the image. Two elements are made from extra-low dispersion (ED) glass to reduce chromatic aberration. Samyang applies its multi-layer UMC coating to control reflections and stray light, which helps maintain contrast in challenging lighting.

The lens has a fixed lens hood built in.

Filter options

Because the lens has a fixed hood, it does not take typical front screw-on filters. Instead, it provides a rear holder for thin gelatin filters, allowing you to use certain filter types for landscape and creative work.
