Samyang 14mm f/2.8 MK II 鏡頭 Nikon AE

The close-focusing ability at 28cm is a game-changer for dramatic landscape shots with foreground detail. The multi-coated glass handles flare surprisingly well even with the sun in the frame, and the build feels solid without being too heavy.

I was blown away by how sharp this ultra wide lens is even at f/2.8, and the multi-coated UMC really cuts down on flare in tricky light. The build feels solid, and being able to focus as close as 28 cm adds a fun creative twist to indoor architecture shots.

The minimum focusing distance of 28 cm is a lifesaver for getting dramatic close-ups with that ultra-wide distortion, and the UMC coating keeps flare in check even when the sun's creeping into the frame. Sharpness across the edges at f/8 is genuinely impressive for the price.
