Full details

The Samyang 10mm F2.8 ED AS NCS CS is a specialized ultra-wide-angle lens designed for photographers using APS-C Nikon DX cameras who need to capture expansive vistas or work in cramped interior spaces. Offering a generous 110-degree field of view, this lens provides sharp, high-contrast imagery, though users should be prepared for a purely manual focus workflow that requires deliberate handling.

FAQs

Does this lens autofocus?

No, this is a manual focus lens. You must adjust the focus ring by hand.

Can I use this on a full-frame Nikon camera?

This lens is designed specifically for APS-C (DX) sensors. Using it on a full-frame (FX) camera will result in significant vignetting.

What is the benefit of the AE chip?

The AE chip allows the lens to communicate aperture and focal length data to your Nikon camera, enabling auto-metering modes like Aperture Priority.

Can I attach filters to this lens?

Due to the extreme curvature of the front element, this lens does not feature traditional front filter threads. You would need a specialized third-party filter holder system.

Is this lens weather-sealed?

The lens is not rated as weather-sealed. Use caution when operating in dusty or wet environments.

Troubleshooting

Images appear blurry or out of focus

Ensure you are using the camera's focus confirmation dot in the viewfinder or, for best results, use Live View and zoom in to confirm focus manually.

Camera does not display exposure information

Verify that the lens is fully locked into the mount and the aperture ring is set to the smallest setting (f/22) if required by your specific camera model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely wide field of view perfect for real estate and landscape
  • High optical sharpness thanks to ED and aspherical elements
  • Robust build quality with a fixed lens length design
  • Auto-metering compatibility simplifies exposure calculations
  • Excellent light transmission with Nano Crystal Coating

Cons

  • Manual focus only, which can be challenging for fast-moving subjects
  • Requires some practice to manage perspective distortion
  • Not compatible with full-frame Nikon FX cameras
  • No image stabilization included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This lens is specifically optimized for the Nikon DX (APS-C) mount and will mount directly to any compatible Nikon DSLR. Once attached, the AE chip allows your camera to communicate with the lens for automatic exposure metering; however, you must manually rotate the focus ring to achieve sharp focus. To care for the lens, always keep the included petal-type hood attached to protect the front element from accidental bumps and stray light. Clean the glass with a high-quality microfiber cloth and store the lens in a cool, dry environment with the rear and front caps secured. Avoid touching the lens elements directly to prevent oil buildup from skin.
