Offering a super wide field of view along with an autofocus design, the AF 14mm f/2.8 FE from Rokinon is a prime wide-angle lens for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its relatively fast f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions, and its optical design incorporates three aspherical and two low dispersion elements to help reduce distortion and color fringing for improved clarity and sharpness. An Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied, as well as an integrated lens hood, to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, the lens' autofocus motor provides quick and precise focusing performance, and manual focus override is also available for more refined control.

Super wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 21mm equivalent focal length.

Three aspherical elements are incorporated in the optical design to control spherical aberrations for increased clarity and resolution from edge to edge.

Two extra-low dispersion glass elements work to reduce chromatic aberrations; improve overall image sharpness, clarity, and color fidelity; and help to minimize the overall weight of the lens.

An Ultra Multi-Coating has been applied to individual elements in order to reduce flare and ghosting for increased contrast and a neutral color balance.

The integrated autofocus motor provides quick, accurate, and precise AF control. Manual focus override is also available for refining your focus position.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

Q: 2. Is this lens the same as the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC Lens for Sony E-Mount besides this lens having AF and the one I mentioned not having AF?

Q: 5. Is this lens already with the new firmware? Is auto focus improvement already present or will I have to upgrade?

A: Hi--all cameras and lenses delivered to us have the latest available firmware installed, but manufacturers don't tell us the version for each shipment--it's the latest that was available when the product shipped. A firmware update released in the last month is probably not installed. You will need to check the lens for the firmware version.

Q: 8. What do you do for filters for the lens?

Q: 9. Is it focus by wire?

A: Yes. By necessity most AF lenses are. This allows full time manual override of the focus. If it were a solid connection, you would, in time, damage the delicate AF motor. Don't ask me how I know this.

Q: 10. does it transfer exif info to the camera?

A: At this time we expect this to act like any other AF lens and indeed send EXIF metadata to the camera. A lot of people would be unhappy if it didn't so I am sure Rokinon is providing it.
