Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Samyang 14-24mm f/2.8 is a compact ultra-wide zoom for L-Mount, developed with Schneider-Kreuznach, weighing 441g and taking 77mm screw-in filters, with a launch price of $1,199. As of Oct 2026, one review is linked, Dustin Abbott’s of the Sony E-mount version, tested on a Sony a7R V. He found the sharpness very consistent across the zoom range, the autofocus fast, silent and precise, the focus breathing low and the close focus amazing, and he says the lens is smaller and lighter than any other in its class and cheaper than its competitors. His cons are heavy vignetting and distortion at 14mm, some minor flare, and a price that is high for a Samyang. He concludes that it is a winner for travel, landscape, city and astro work.

From LK Samyang:

A compact and lightweight super-wide-angle zoom lens jointly developed by LK Samyang and Schneider-Kreuznach. Designed for astrophotography, travel, and everyday use, it offers a broad 114.2ยฐ angle of view at 14mm.

The optical construction comprises 15 elements in 11 groups, including three aspherical, five high-refractive, and three ED elements. A quiet linear STM motor drives fast and silent autofocus, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.18m delivering a maximum magnification of 0.26x at 24mm.

Despite its ultra-wide reach and constant f/2.8 aperture, the lens weighs just 441g and accepts standard 77mm screw-in filters โ€” still rare in this category.
