Our editorial take on the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC Lens for Nikon F
The Samyang 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC is a wide-angle prime lens designed for Nikon F-mount full-frame cameras. It offers an ultra-wide 14mm focal length with a fast f/2.8 aperture, making it suitable for landscape, architecture, and astrophotography work. The optical formula includes two aspherical elements, two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, and three high refractive index elements to reduce aberrations and improve sharpness across the frame. Ultra multi-coating helps minimize flare and ghosting in challenging light.
This is a manual focus lens, which is typical for Samyang's budget-oriented lineup. It does include an AE chip, allowing for camera-based aperture control and EXIF data recording. At $319, it positions itself as an affordable entry into ultra-wide shooting for Nikon users who are comfortable working without autofocus. The aperture range from f/2.8 to f/22 provides flexibility for both low-light shooting and achieving deep depth of field.

- Fast f/2.8 aperture useful for low light and astrophotography
- Includes AE chip for electronic aperture control and EXIF data
- ED and aspherical elements for improved optical quality
