Samyang 14mm f/2.8 AF Lens for Canon EF - Weather Sealed Wide-Angle Prime

Capturing vast landscapes, architectural marvels, or star-filled skies often leaves photographers fighting with lenses that are either too slow, too soft, or too fragile for the outdoors. The Samyang 14mm f/2.8 AF for Canon EF solves that by combining an ultra-wide 113.9° angle of view, a bright f/2.8 aperture, and rugged weather sealing in one compact prime.

Who is it for

Landscape and architecture photographers who need edge-to-edge sharpness, astrophotographers chasing light in the dark, and travel shooters who refuse to let dust or drizzle end a session. It also suits videographers wanting a fast, wide lens with smooth, silent autofocus.

Main features

• Ultra-wide 14mm focal length with a dramatic 113.9° field of view on full-frame cameras
• Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture for low-light shooting and shallow depth-of-field control
• Fast, quiet autofocus powered by a Linear Stepping Motor (LSM) – ideal for stills and video
• Advanced optical design: 14 elements in 10 groups, including 2 aspherical, 4 high-refractive, and 1 extra-low dispersion element to minimise distortion and chromatic aberration
• Weather-sealed construction protects against dust and light rain, so you can shoot confidently outdoors
• Built-in petal-shaped lens hood reduces flare and protects the front element
• 7-blade circular diaphragm delivers smooth, natural bokeh
• Close focusing down to 0.20 m (7.87 in) for creative wide-angle close-ups

Tips

For astrophotography, use manual focus at infinity and stop down slightly to f/4 for optimal corner sharpness. When shooting architecture, keep the camera level to avoid converging vertical lines, or embrace the distortion for creative effect. The built-in hood is non-removable, so consider a rear gel filter holder if you need neutral density or light pollution filtration.
