What is the samyang af 14mm f 2 8 good for?

The Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 is a full-frame autofocus ultra-wide prime, so it's for when you need to fit a lot into the frame. It's made for Sony E and Canon RF mounts. On full frame it gives a true 14mm view, and on APS-C it behaves like a 21mm (Sony) or 22mm (Canon) lens, which is still wide.

Because it's so wide, keep it close to your subject. Anything near the lens will look bigger than you expect, so use it with some foreground in the frame. If you're shooting Sony E, check the Sony a7 III page for a body that suits it well.

Before you buy, check that your body supports the lens's autofocus features and that the maker allows third-party lenses on that mount. The lenses guide covers both. For crop-sensor framing, the focal length converter helps.
