Using frame lens on crop sensor2/21/2024 I'm an self-confessed ultra-wide angle lens lover, and I would probably not buy that one for a crop frame sensor camera, but would not hesitate at all on a full-frame camera (and based on the spec, it is a full-frame lens). I use the camera histogram to judge exposure and shoot on manual. That being said, I like my 8mm lens, but I don't use it a lot and can work around the lack of integration as most things are in focus on an 8mm lens all the time anyway. With your camera, that gives you a full-frame equivalent of 22.5mm, which is fairly wide angle. These lenses are 100% manual focus as well. This may mean no light metering (I don't know your camera body at all) and you will be shooting in 100% manual mode only. There is a reason that they are inexpensive there is NO electronic coupling to your camera body. Rokinon is just one of many brand names that these lenses are sold under. Randy - I have a Samyang 8mm fisheye lens. Why would you look at anything else unless you are filthy rich and prepared to spend a small fortune on a different camera system? Rokinon lenses are excellent lenses, made specifically for Canon, they can't be used on any other mount unlike say Sigma or Tamron who are independent lens makers and adapt their lenses for many different brands of cameras Of course wide angle lenses are fine for crop sensor cameras, photography is still photography, if you want a wide angle image you need a lens that will provide it, no matter what sort of camera you have, the image is what is important I don't have sufficient info available to me right now to work out the exact angle So the 14mm lens on your crop sensor Canon which would give you a 35mm equivalent of around 22mm would give you an angle of view of approx 90 degrees. The wider the wideangle lens, the greater the angle of viewįor example, using the 'full frame' lens, a 21mm kens has an ang e of view of 92 degrees, the 28mm lens, 75 degrees, the 35mm lens 63 degrees, the 50mm lens 47 degrees and so on up to a 1000mm lens which has 2.5 degrees angle of view with a crop sensor which only uses a portion of the full frame lens image circle, the crop factor converts the angle of view you can see to what it would be if you were using a full frame camera. I like this lens for its potential for night photography and the price is about right (much lower than many other similar prime lenses).ġ) Are wide angle lenses worth it for cropped sensor camera?Ģ) Any thoughts on the Rokinon lenses, especially this one?ģ) Should I be looking at something else instead? My interest in this lens is for both landscape photos and night photos (this lens reportedly has a very low 'coma distortion'). Honestly, I don't know how much difference that will work out to, given I have not shot any similar lenses and have no experience for a comparison of these different angles of view. My 18mm shortest focal length yields about an equivalent 28.8mm, compared to this Rokinon lens at 14mm should yield about 22.4mm. Right now all I have are the original kit lenses and a 50mm. I am particularly interested in a prime wide angle lens: the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 IF ED MC Super Wide Angle Lens for Canon - 14mm f/2.8 Super Wide Angle (see ). I am shooting with a Canon T2i (550D) and I am considering a wide angle lens for it.
