Measured against Sony mirrorless, 43 MP, KB: In the case of a super-wide-angle lens, we don't expect perfect imaging all the way to the edges at open aperture. But in the centre of the image, the performance must fit. But this is exactly what the Samyang does not achieve: the resolution and especially the contrast are clearly too low in the centre at aperture 2.8...
Samyang 14mm f/2.8 MKII Canon EF
Canon EF, APS-C / DX3 items ordered
Product details
The lens is the successor to the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 prime lens and comes with an improved design as well as two brand new features. The Focus Lock function allows you to lock the focus, which can be a significant advantage, especially in astrophotography. It also enhances the effect in time-lapse mode. The De-Click function enables a diaphragm with fine and smooth adjustments. Another highlight is the maximum angle of view of 115.7 degrees, which offers a unique perspective. The impressive image quality is achieved with high-quality lenses and 14 elements in 10 groups, correcting distortions and chromatic aberrations.
The 9 aperture blades create a beautiful star light effect in your images with 18 rays. This effect makes the image appear more dramatic and emotional. Additionally, it helps you create a stunning bokeh effect. To ensure you can use the lens in almost any weather condition, it features a special sealing that protects against moisture and raindrops. The revised design also feels better in hand and allows for quicker adjustments.
The wide-angle lens is characterized by an enlarged field of view that surpasses that of the human eye. It differs from standard lenses by its shorter focal length. This shorter focal length increases the field of view, making subjects appear smaller and allowing more to be captured in the photo. Furthermore, the wide-angle lens creates a well-defined sense of spatial depth—objects in the distance appear even further away, giving your images a striking sense of depth layering.
