The 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Lens for Canon EF with AE Chip from Rokinon gives you approximately a 115° view with dramatic results when used with a full frame digital camera or 35mm film camera. It includes a special chip that allows the lens to work with the camera's focus confirm, auto exposure, auto metering and auto white balance functions. With hybrid aspherical lenses, you will produce sharply defined images with a minimum of distortion and chromatic aberrations. This manual focus 14mm lens focuses as close as 0.9' / 28cm from the lens, and has a built-in petal-type lens hood. With some cameras, Shutter Lock must be disengaged on the camera's menu.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the thread size !

A: There is no thread. The front lens sticks out too far to allow the use of filters. I use the lens mainly for night photography and really like it.

Q: 2. Hi! I just purchased the Nikon D610 bundle from you all and am looking to add a lens for astrophotography/landscape. I have my eyes set on Rokinon 14mm. I just saw that they are releasing a series ll...Do you suggest I grab the older model (and save a bit) or is it worth paying more for the updated?

A: Both lenses would be good options for astrophotography usage needs. That being said, the new Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Series II Lens for Nikon F does have some impressive improvements, such as better optical performance, a focus lock mechanism that allows you to lock the position of the focus ring (beneficial for crucial focus with astrophotography), the ability to declick the aperture ring, and weather-sealing. Overall, the newer Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Series II Lens for Nikon F would be recommended, but if you are on a budget, the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Lens For Nikon with AE Chip is still a good option and would be recommended.

Q: 3. Will this mount on a Nikon D750?

A: Yes, totally compatible with the D750. It will be manual focus only as well as auto exposure. Make sure to put the aperture on f/22 so that you can control the aperture through the camera body.

Q: 4. I have a Nikon D5300 camera, and am looking to get a wide angle lense for in door and outdoor low light photography. Is this a good lens for what I want it for?

A: for interiors, this is the best lens for the money. Tripod and f/8 aperture or smaller recommended

Q: 5. what size filter?

A: Unfortunately, the Rokinon 14mm Ultra Wide-Angle f/2.8 IF ED UMC Lens For Nikon does not have a front filter thread due to the convex design of the front element.

Q: 6. Will this fit canon rebel sl1? Also is the AE chip worth the money?

A: Yes, the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Lens For Canon EF is compatible for use with the Canon EOS Digital Rebel SL1 DSLR camera. While this is a fully manual lens that requires you to focus manually and set the aperture manually, the AE chip allows you to use the Focus Confirmation LED in the viewfinder that will illuminate when the camera detects the image is in focus, as well as allows the camera to use the automatic exposure modes, automatic metering, and automatic white balance. If you choose the lens without the AE chip, you would simply have to use the Aperture-Priority or Manual mode of the camera and set white balance and exposure manually.

Q: 7. Would this lens be compatible with a Sony A200?

A: yes - I used to use the A200 also. from memory if it is a full frame sensor, then no cropping, it is certainly compatible for the mount, so all good, it is a manual focus though, so ok if hand shooting, where you have time to shoot zoom in and check and shoot again - i.e group shot at a wedding - otherwise - not good for fast moving objects

Q: 8. Hi there, am I able to get some good astrophotography pics with this lens (mounted on a Sony Alpha 7)? Will i see such a weird circle on my Image (with the full frame sensor) because this lens is too wide? Thanks for all your answers!

A: This lens will give good night shots but stay away from ALL sources of light nearby. The bubble style lens will produce lens flare very easily from any other sources of light. Especially during long exposures such as night shots.

Q: 9. Is it purely manual lens? I have Nikon D 800 camera

A: Sort of - I have a D7100 and it works fine. You must focus manually but you get feed back from the camera to forward or back focus in the view finder until the focus light is steady. Hope this helps

Q: 10. Will this work for canon eos rebel t7 or will it be cropped?

A: Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Super Wide Angle lens is fully compatible with Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Camera. Your camera creates a 1.6X crop factor due to it's sensor size, which means this lens will become a 22mm lens.
