Badged as Samyang in most world regions and as Rokinon in the USA, these lenses hail from South Korea, where the company has been building a solid reputation since 1972. Most of their lenses that I’ve reviewed in the more distant past have been manual-focus primes, including the XP 14mm f/2.4, which I still think is one of the best lenses for astrophotography, if you’re shooting with a Canon or Nikon DSLR. Samyang’s first autofocus lens didn’t arrive until 2018.
More recently, I’ve reviewed the AF 24-70mm f/2.8 FE, AF 50mm f/1.4 FE II and AF 135mm f/1.8 FE, all of which have impressed me as thoroughly modern autofocus optics.
Following suit in being designed for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras, the new AF 14-24mm f/2.8 FE that I’m reviewing here is the company’s first ever ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, and is the result of a design collaboration between Samyang Optics and the legendary German optical pioneer Schneider-Kreuznach. As such, it aims to be one of the best lenses for landscape photography as well as one of the best wide-angle lenses for Sony cameras.
