Ultra-Wide, Super Affordable: A Review of the Samyang/Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Autofocus Lens for Sony

Sony shooters are spoiled for choice when it comes to ultra-wide lenses right now. This video from Chris Brockhurst takes an in-depth look at the 14mm f/2.8 FE, an autofocus prime lens from Rokinon/Samyang which stands out for its price and focal length. Rokinon/Samyang has a reputation for producing lightweight, affordable autofocus glass for Sony full frame cameras without massively compromising quality. The AF 14mm f/2.8 FE is definitely in the same category, and while it’s not one of Samyang’s lightest lenses, it’s still not that hefty at only 1.11 lb (505 g).
