What We Like
+Exceptional compactness and lightweight (445g) for an ultra-wide f/2.8 zoom—significantly lighter than competitors
+77mm front filter thread uncommon in ultra-wide zooms, enabling use of standard ND and polarizing filters
+Excellent astrophotography performance with minimal coma correction and sharpness at f/2.8
+Versatile 14-24mm range with consistent f/2.8 aperture throughout and 0.18m close focus across entire range
+Fast, silent linear stepping motor autofocus with customizable function button and USB-C firmware updates
+Collaborative Schneider-Kreuznach optical design combining German precision with Korean manufacturing
Worth Knowing
−Flare resistance issues with noticeable ring flare and veiling flare at certain angles, especially at 14mm setting
−Corner sharpness softness at f/2.8, requiring stopping down to f/8 for optimal edge-to-edge performance
−Uncovered USB-C port vulnerable to dust and moisture despite overall weather sealing claim
−Non-parfocal design requires focus adjustment when changing focal length

About This LensLK Samyang's first super-wide angle autofocus zoom lens for Sony Full-Frame E-mount, the AF 14-24mm f/2.8 FE is a compact and lightweight super-wide-angle zoom measuring 88.8mm in length and weighing only 445g developed with Schneider-Kreuznach. It is the world's first ultra-wide zoom lens that allows for the attachment of front filters, offering 77mm filter compatibility. The lens performs well for nightscapes and astrophotography and replaces three popular lenses in a small, light and reasonably compact package, though veiling flare can be a problem at certain angles, and for a lens released in 2025 this is not great performance, showing more issues than the nearly two-decade-old Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G. | |
