Ultra-wide manual lens for Canon EF
The Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus prime designed for Canon EF-mount DSLRs. Its built-in AE chip enables automatic metering so the camera can select the correct aperture and exposure. The lens covers both full-frame and APS-C sensors, making it suitable for architecture, landscape and astrophotography work.
Fitting the lens and common issues
Mount the lens like any EF optic; the electronic chip communicates aperture data to the body without extra adapters. Because focusing is entirely manual, users must rely on the focus ring and magnification aids rather than autofocus. The six-blade diaphragm stops down to f/22, but the blades can produce defined polygon highlights in specular areas.
Check your workflow before ordering
Confirm that your Canon DSLR accepts EF-mount lenses and that you are comfortable setting focus manually for every shot. The minimum focusing distance is 10.8 inches, so very close foreground subjects may fall outside the usable range. No autofocus motor or image stabilisation is present, so tripod or high-shutter-speed technique is required for sharp results.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the AE chip is metering correctly after mounting the lens?
Set the camera to aperture-priority mode, stop down to f/22 and verify the exposure indicator moves as light changes; the chip reports aperture to the body so the meter responds automatically.
What accessories are included and what must I purchase separately?
The box contains the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 lens with built-in AE chip and front/rear caps; filters, hood and tripod collar are not included and must be bought separately.
Should I choose this AE-chip version or the non-chip model for my Canon EF body?
Select the AE14M-C version if you want the camera to set exposure automatically in aperture-priority or program modes; the older FE14M-C lacks the chip and requires full manual metering.
