Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC Wide Angle Lens Nikon AE

The Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED AS IF UMC Wide Angle Lens Nikon AE is a bright sleek and stylish lens, lightweight and developed specifically for Nikon AE cameras using APS-C and full-frame sensor. This wide-angle lens is a bright lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4 that is suitable to shoot in low light. It is ideally suited for architectural, interior, landscape and panoramic photography.

This Samyang manual focus wide angle lens will fit a lot of the image in to the frame, supplying a fantastic depth of field and will exaggerate the perspective of the subject. The lens is critical for photographs of buildings, landscapes, monuments, interiors and panoramic views which is challenging to incorporate all the elements in the composition.

An auto exposure (AE) microprocessor is integrated inside this lens, that allows camera-based management over exposure settings as well as also makes it possible for in-camera manual focus verification.

One common error in judgment individuals can make is they presume wide-angle lenses are typically employed when you are unable to get far enough away from the subject, but would like to capture all of the subject in to one single camera frame. However, if you were to solely use it for this sort of shot you would be at a disadvantage. Wide angle lenses are used in lots of scenarios even times when you want to get closer to the subject.

A wide angle of view indicates that the relative size and distance is exaggerated when observing near and far objects. This tends to make objects nearby seem enormous, and objects far away seem to be extraordinarily tiny and remote. Much like all wide angle lenses the closer you are, the bigger the subject looks in the frame and this will give the image more impact.
