Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Lens on Nikon Z6

- I love my tiny Rokinon 14mm f/2.8. I purchased it several years ago and have used it on all of my Nikon DSLR cameras (D800, D750, D610, D850, D7XXX, D500, etc.) with no problems. Recently, I took it on a trip to the American SW and ran into problems using it on my Nikon Z6. This video details my experience with the lens while mounted on the Nikon FTZ adapter.

Interesting! Thanks Mike. I have used the Rokinon 14mm and 12mm with my D810 for years and never a problem.
The Rokinon is rock solid on all my DSLRs.
This lens don't have problem with Nikon DSLR or other brands. But for mirrorless it have some small issue, I used with Nikon Z5 , automatically it showed you need to set lens to F22 manually. Then used your camera to control the apertures setting. as what Barr said .
noticed the same when I tried putting my d610 together with my 70-200 f4 but with the PN 11 ext tube ( used with the 105 f2.8 manual focus macro lens) inbetween, HAD to set A mode, and put the MINIMUM aperture into the non-cpu lens data slot, metered the scene with the 105 at f 22, what the 70-200 stops down to,
( using it's own non-cpu setting!) to discover the shutter speed, then put that into the camera after setting M mode again, due to no communication the lens is stopped down ALL the way, so you MUST meter for this condition in a stopped down method , and set M to stop the electronics taking control, AFTER this all worked fine!!
( used 1250 ISO and just added flash to fix any under-exposure). Also try using the "spot" metering mode this will avoid the meter becoming confused with the contrast, ie: metering a white wedding dress as too brite, or a dark suit as too black, so it measures the scene at the focus point, not all over the field of view.
I am having the same problem with the same setup (Z6, FtZ, Rokinon 14mm, f2.8, latest firmware on Z6). As with you, it didn’t do this at first.
I just saw this post. I see it was made about a year or so ago. I recently picked up the Samyang version of this lens. From what I understand, they are manufactured in the same place and badged as either Samyang or Rokinon. I also experienced this issue on my Z6 with the FTZ adaptor. I saw my screen flickering oddly in live view and also heard the aperture clicking. I managed to not take any pictures that were affected, but I was able to get the odd behavior to stop by manually adjusting the F stop on the lens off f22 and then adjusting it back. (as you may know, the lens needs to be set to f22 manually for the camera software to adjust it internally). I'm hoping to not see any more issues with it as I really like the results I got with it.
I have the z7ii with this adapter and lens. My issue is it is saying set aperture at highest level. It will not allow me to shoot in 2.8f stop is there a way around this?
Thanks for sharing this Mike. Could you manage a workaround?
I had this happen on my Rokinon 24mm almost unusable. My 14mm and 135mm seem to work fine with the Z6. Not sure what to do except tape up the contacts.
But what kind of 14mm lens do you use on Nikon z6?
I am having the same problem too . What did I do in this case. I just sealed one of the contacts of the lens with tape (you can also cover it with varnish). The camera now recognizes this lens without a processor and without aperture number. I lost some functions, but now I control the aperture ring on the lens.
I specified the information in the Nikon company. They do not plan to correct this situation. The only hope for Samyang (bower/rokinon)
I have the same issue with the AF 14mm rokinon as well
Hi Mike, I'm confused, was that a chk, chk, chk chk, or a shk, shk, shk shk? jk...I have a D850 and am contemplating acquiring a wide angle for some extreme perspectives like what you demonstrated, thanks for the video!
Were you using the autofocus version of this lens? The reason I ask is because many people have said they get the same problem and that covering the pins on the lens with tape stops the problem but on the manual focus version of this lens there aren't any electronic pins on the lens.
This lens also comes in the Z mount too and so you should maybe test the Z mount version to see if the problem is being caused by the FTZ adapter on your F mount version of the lens.
Z mount version is pure manual. No any commujnication with camera. So using chiped one for Fmount on Z is also possible using cheap dummy adapter F-to-Z 3rd party, what Samyang actualy did with their Z version. They just extend the back side to match flange distance.
@@drazenzuvela1647 I know so what? Are you incapable of being able to manually focus or something?
@@djteknovibe93 haha good question.99 percent of my lenses are pure manual. As my work.
@@drazenzuvela1647 Manually focusing is easy in the daylight thanks to focus peaking although harder at night because unless the camera has an amazingly high resolution screen, at night you get bad image quality in the viewfinder (when you zoom in to finely focus) and lots of noise in the viewfinder (on mirrorless cameras). In the daytime or early evening manual focusing is easy. I've found it's only harder at night when it's very dark.
Cool, but it need a FTZ. I just replacing my gear and selling all F mount lenses. What I realized, there is no good wide angle lens for Z system ;/
Please I have the same issue with the Samyang 135mm f2 lens on the Z6ii body....any fix will be deeply appreciated.
Hi would the Rockinon work for interior and architecture - is there much distortion and can it be corrected in post.
It is a great lens and I've used it for all kinds of architectural photography. Just use your post-processing software's distortion correction tool and you'll be good to go.
A lot of distortion, but you can correct it. Not great image quality from f2.8 to f6.7... but f8 to f11 deliver great IQ. Put some tape on the lens contacts and shoot in manual mode. It will work.
I have the same problem with my Samyang 12mm f2.8 fisheye lens ( Rokinon = Samyang in Europe) and Nikon Z6, I just asked Samyang Benelux what the problem is and i hope sone answer from them.
I want to buy 14 mm rokinon autofocus and I have the nikon z6,, I would like to know if those can match great together. I mean that the autofocus works and the all functionalities,, thanks :)
Put some tape on the lens contacts and shoot in manual mode. It will work.
Is that issue still around or is it fixed by now with a firmware update of the camera or the lens?
what you thing the best ultra wide lenses for the Z 6 ??
Wish I saw this video before I bought it. I am having the same issue. I see a lot of people have mentioned putting a tape on lens contacts. Is it the only way?
There are many third party F to Z mount adapters which are only mechanical. Those are much cheaper than the FTZ as well (20-30 bucks). Some of these have an aperture control ring for G-type lenses... some even have variable ND built in...
I have a similar problem with Samyang / Rokinon 100mm Macro in combination with Nikon Z6, software 2.0. Does this issue still occur after the upgrade?
yes
I faced same aperture ring problem with my tamron lenses and z6.
Ashwin Mahajan Tamron which lens?
@@mainmain5303 The old tamron lenses (non G2 series). 24-70, 70-200, 15-30 f2.8 Di VC USD all three lenses faced this problem. This us because Tamron has not released a firmware update for these lenses.
Isolate the contacts from communicating, it works perfect on my z6!
Yes, I considered that. Use it in pure manual mode.
Put some tape on the lens contacts and shoot in manual mode. It will work.
He doesn't need to do that. He can buy a dummy adapter from Amazon, cost 20-50 USD (brands Shoten, Kipon, etc) and then he can use it like a pure manual lens, and set the aperture manually.
Has anyone had an answer from Rokinon/Samyang on this yet? Not really Nikon's responsibility as it's reverse engineered. I just upgraded from my DF to Z6 and was hoping to use my Samyang 14mm 2.8 lens in a surf housing...
Put some tape on the lens contacts and shoot in manual mode. It will work.
Report to Nikon so they can investigate.
