this is the third Samyang/Rokinon lens i have purchased. i have the 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye for my Nikon D90 (converted to IR), the 14mm f/2.8 for the Nikon D750 - though it works for the D90 too (no infrared hot-spot). this lens is for the D750 and what a joy it is to use. Manual focus with the Nikon is easy as the rangefinder lights when focus is achieved.the lens is superbly sharp - okay the edges lag a bit but neither Nikon, Canon or any other manufacturer manage to have everything in total focus across the frame at these angles.. Try it once and you will be hooked - your images will take on a new life..Interested?? go for it..

I bought this lens in 2016 without realising just how useful it would be. Awesome sharpness, right to the edge of the frame. I have been surprised by how useful it is in wedding situations, where keeping people near the edge of a big group at their proper size/weight can be more important than straight lines. Careful use of the corrections in Photoshop also allows for rectilinear and near-rectilinear results. I have the Nikon 14-24, but if I had to choose only one of the two, this Samyang would now win. I hope my pics can tell the story...

This is a well made manual focus lens that is of excellent quality and it reminds of the sort of solidly built, top quality lens one could buy (if you had the money) from Nikon or Canon in the seventies. The Nikon version has the advantage that it can meter open aperture and also auto expose, it obviously won't auto focus but at such a short focal length this is no problem and cameras the focus aids work anyway.

Amazing lens, extraordinary perspective. Provides some truly unique images, which are very striking. Takes a bit of knowledge to use it, as it's completely manual. Not only manual focus, but aperture is manually controlled as well. If you know how to use a DSLR properly this won't be a problem.
