This lens is a very good utilitarian piece of gear at a fantastic price. There are better lenses out there that are sharper, or with better flare resistance, but this one gets the job done for nearly 1/8 of the price. For me, someone who only uses this wide of a lens occasionally, it's nice to be able to get a tool this inexpensively to try out this focal length and see if it's something I want to invest in more. This wide of an angle lens is a bit of a beast and can be difficult to shoot effectively if you aren't used to it. I find that it really stands out in night time sky and low light interior situations.

I already owned a Rokinon 85mm f/1.8 lens, and have been extremely pleased with that. This Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 lives up to the expectations I had for it. The DOF is amazingly deep on this lens, even wide open. Used on my Sony SLT-A58 with Focus Peaking, it's a breeze to focus, and on that camera, in Aperture mode the camera does just fine selecting the correct shutter speed. The fit and build of the lens is great and it belies the low cost (relative to other wide angle lenses) I paid for it. It is truly a 'Pro-level' lens. It will not accept filters, and the hood is not removable. The lens cap fits over the hood, and is not likely to get lost, but doesn't just slip into your pocket, either. This is my first prime wide angle, so I have nothing to compare it to, and I wish I could upload photos with this review. I'll say, though, that if you're looking for a prime wide angle lens, and don't mind a fully manual lens, take a good look at this Rokinon.Read full review
The Rokinon/Samyang lens are some of the most best valued lens buys on the market if you can use manual-focus. Image quality is excellent, as is the build quality. My 2nd Rokinon, and there will be more in the future.

Haven't had it long enough to make a full assessment but seems to be quite a good lense.
