Samyang launches its first AF lens for Nikon DSLRs

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Samyang is best known for its manual focus fixed focal length lenses
It has been branching out into autofocus optics for other brands, but the Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 F is its first autofocus lens for Nikon
DSLRs.Designed for full-frame FX-format Nikon DSLRs, its 14mm focal length gives it a super-wide angle of view of 116.6 degrees, and its
maximum aperture of f/2.8 should make it handy in low-light
On APS-C DX format Nikon bodies it will give an equivalent focal length of 21mm, which is still pretty wide, and handy for owners of these
cameras since there are fewer prime lenses for the smaller DX-format.The optical design is sophisticated, consisting of 15 elements in 10
groups, with 2 aspherical elements, 4 high-refractive elements and an extra-low dispersion ED lens, all to minimise distortion and chromatic
This should make it easier to focus on objects close to the camera and exploit the dramatic perspectives and size differences that
ultra-wide lenses can create.Premium rather than budgetClearly designed as a premium quality prime lens rather than as a budget offering,
the Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 F also incorporates weather sealing
its previous 14mm f/2.8 autofocus lenses, claiming faster and more accurate autofocus in this new Nikon-fit version.The Samyang AF 14mm
