[7, Rounded] I was recommended this lens by quite a few people and I'm extremely glad that I choose it. When mounting to a Canon R series camera, since there is no connectivity between the camera and lens, you have to go into your menu options and select "release shutter without lens attached" for it to work. I was scared I got a lemon but after read the previous reviews in this site, it was an easy fix. I'm very impressed with the Milky Way shots that I'm able to produce and I would recommend this lens to anyone looking for a good, high quality, budget lens.

[Nikon F] Pleasantly surprised by the quality of this lens given the price point. Clear, crisp images. f2.8 gives great light for night photography which was the primary reason I bought the lens. Very happy with the purchase.

[Full-Frame] I have been using Rokinon lenses for astrophotography for years and have come to expect great things out of them. Whether it is the 14mm or the 24mm I am using I don't want to end up with something I can't use at the end of a session.

After moving to the new Z6 I continued using my old Rokinons and they worked just fine. But I decided I wanted to have a Z mount Rokinon and do away with the convertor. The only complaint I have is the lens is heavy.


But the pictures are fantastic!

[f/2.8] So far I've only used this in the studio. It is a sharp lens. Very quick delivery and well packed by B&H. Much appreciated.


This lens was not bought to shoot quick rather to shoot carefully and with more thought then just point and shoot.


The build quality seems top notch. Very smooth focus. Great lens cap. Electronics would be nice but you'll get by if you're a old school photographer that came up in the 4x5/8x10 days when you had to be very methodical.

[116.6°] I bought this lens strictly for doing astrophotography. There are no electronics or chips in this lens so your camera will not know what kind of lens it is or what F-stop it is set at.
You will have to manually set your ISO and exposure time on your camera because if you let your camera guess the ISO and shutter speed, it will be either over way over exposed or under exposed.
Otherwise this lens takes some great photos.
You just have to set up everything manually.

[0.15x] The Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 has high resolution even wide open and is very sharp corner to corner by f/4.5. Color rendition is well balanced and provides excellent contrast. It's solid and feels like a quality lens in every way. The review stating it will not work on a R series camera is obviously in not correct. I've used this lens on a R, RP and R5 with absolutely no issues. The electronic aperture control works and the camera recognizes the lens settings You do, of course need to set the camera to release shutter with no lens to allow operation with any non-Canon manual lens.

The only minor negative is that you can't easily attach a filter to the front of the lens. The include, attache lens hood does provide some minimal protection to the lens however.

[0.15x] I purchased this lens for astrophotography. It works very well with my Z5. I'm a fairly new photographer, especially with mirror less cameras, so using manual focus has been a bit of a challenge. This lens has been easy for me to learn on. I was able to take a nice photo in my backyard and see stars that were hidden due to light pollution. I used a tripod, opened the aperture and set the shutter to 15 seconds. Will be taking a trip to Shenandoah national park soon and hope to get a nice photo of the milky way. I highly recommend this lens.

[f/22] I started getting into astrophotography in the last couple of years and had switched to the Nikon Z6 body using the Nikkor S 24-70 f2.8 or Nikkor S 35mm f1.8. Both lenses do very well but I wanted something wider. I didn’t want to wait for the 14-24 f2.8 lens or buy a F mount lens. After much research and the desire for a Z mount lens that wouldn’t break the bank, I decided on the Rokinon 14mm f2.8 Z mount. This lens has performed great after using it for two weeks! It is very sharp corner to corner and great image quality across the board. It is a fully manual lens and doesn’t communicate f stop information to the Z6 but that wasn’t a deal breaker. This lens will mainly be used for astrophotography. . The focus was smooth, easy to use and get accurate focus at night. The build is very solid and balanced very nicely on the Z6. Nothing cheap felling about this lens. Would love to see an auto-focus version of this lens, but very happy with my purchase. If you are in the market for a super wide angle, especially astrophotographers, this is a great choice!
