A super wide-angle prime, the XP 14mm f/2.4 from Samyang is an AE-mount prime that pairs an intuitive manual focus design with a sophisticated optical design. Incorporating 18 elements in 14 groups, this lens utilizes a series of aspherical, low dispersion, and high refractive index elements to reduce color fringing, aberrations, and distortions for sharp, clear, and color accurate imagery. An Ultra Multi-Coating is also featured, as well as a built-in lens hood, to suppress lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast when working in bright, direct lighting conditions. Complementing the imaging assets, a manual focus design is employed that permits working with subjects as close as 11" away, and the aluminum-alloy housing is both lightweight and durable to support working in a variety of conditions.
