The Samyang 2.8/10 is a manual lens so you set the focus using a big and comfortable ring with a useful depth of field scale.

Samyang 10 mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS - Focusing


In the case of such extreme parameters the depth of field is so significant that you don’t miss the autofocus almost at all. Even at the maximum relative aperture you can set the focus at about 2 meters and enjoy a sharp image from about 1 meter to infinity – it can be seen perfectly well in the photo above. The distance between markings at f/2.8 is more or less the same as between the 1 meter and infinity marking.
