Yongnuo, a brand known for cheap and clone Canon lenses and flashlights has announced yet another lens. Youngnuo 14mm f/2.8 is an ultra-wide angle lens autofocus lens for Canon mount. Interestingly this time the lens is not a clone of the Canon 14mm lens, looks like Yongnuo is trying to make its own mark in the market.

The Yongnuo 14mm f/2.8 lens is a cheap alternative for those looking to shoot landscapes or are astro photos, with a wide angle of view of 14mm and a wide aperture of f/2.8. As of now, this lens has been announced for Canon DSLR cameras, Youngnuo might manufacture for other mounts too.

This lens by Yongnuo looks like a perfect 14mm f/2.8 lens as it is expected to be launched at a much cheaper price as compared to the Canon variant. The Rokinon or the Samyang 14mm f/2.8 is also a cheaper alternative but the only downside is that it is a manual focus lens.

  • Two aspherical elements, one ultra-low dispersion for minimizing chromatic aberration
