14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC Lens
Thank you for purchasing the 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC lens.
We believe that you will have a special photographic experience with the 14mm F2.8
ED AS IF UMC lens.
The 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC lens mount is uniquely designed for Canon, Nikon
(Fujifilm) F, Pentax (Samsung GX) K, Sony α (Minolta), Canon M, Sony E, Fujifilm X,
Samsung NX, Four Thirds, and Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Hold the lens hood gently and press the lens release button on the camera. Turn the
lens in the opposite direction of the attaching direction to detach the lens.
You can adjust the focus by turning the focusing ring when using the 14mm F2.8 ED
AS IF UMC lens, as it is a Manual Focus (MF) adjustment lens.
Some cameras require special settings when using this lens.
Please refer to the following and set the camera when necessary.
※
For some Canon cameras, if you set the camera mode dial to Av and set the
brightness by turning the aperture adjustment ring on the lens, the camera
automatically changes the shutter speed. Therefore you don't need to adjust the
shutter speed as well, which is required in M mode.
(The procedures above are for the 40D. The settings for the camera or the menu may vary based
on the model or due to a functional upgrade. Refer to the camera instruction manual or contact the
camera manufacturer for detailed information.)
※
If the release lock is disengaged in the above way, the state of disengagement is
maintained even though the main switch is turned off. If you want to enable the
release lock function, perform the above procedure again.
※
For some Samsung NX cameras, if you set the camera mode dial to A and set the
brightness by turning the aperture adjustment ring on the lens, the camera
automatically changes the shutter speed. Therefore you don't need to adjust the
shutter speed as well, which is required in M mode.
1) Set the camera mode dial to M.
2) Adjust the shutter speed to achieve the appropriate exposure for the
brightness.
The diaphragm of the 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC Canon mount is not compatible with
the camera.
If the brightness is set to F8 or above, you may not be able to set the correct focus
due to a difficulty in viewing the subject through the camera viewfinder. Turn the
aperture adjustment ring so it is fully open when attaching the lens to the camera, and
then set the depth of field and brightness you want prior to shooting.
You can set the depth of field and brightness by turning the aperture adjustment ring
when using the 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC lens.
The F numbers can be set from 2.8 to 22.
The 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC lens is a wide-angle lens and captures a vivid wide
angle of view by minimizing image distortion. You can capture extensive panoramas,
which is very useful for landscape shooting.

signal, so there is no communication with
the camera through electric signals.
No problem with shooting
This lens is a single lens.
This lens is designed for its own mount.
Purchase the designated lens mount.
Our converter is designed for the T (M42
screw) mount only. Therefore it cannot be
used with the 16 mm F2.0 ED AS UMC CS
lens.
Use each company's own mount converter.
However, be aware that auto focusing is
unavailable.
9. Safety Precautions
1. It compensates for aberrations by using a complex aspherical and glass aspherical
lens and, at the fully opened position, produces high resolution and high contrast at
the center of the lens as well as around the periphery.
2. Controls chromatic aberration optimally by using premium optical glass with high
refraction and extra-low dispersion.
3. Allows precision focus control by providing a soft and wide focus operation area.
4. Ultra multi coating design for optimum suppression of ghost images and vivid color
image reproduction.
5. Maintains an unchanged size with its inner focus design.
