The Samyang 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS lens is an ultra wide-angle manual focus lens designed for CS/APS-C crop sensor cameras.

The Samyang 16mm is a rectilinear lens offering superb image quality and low distortion. It is perfectly suited to crop sensor cameras for landscape photography and general photography requiring a high-quality wide-angle lens. The large f2 aperture allows photography in low light.

The optical construction comprises 13 elements in 11 groups, with 2 aspherical lenses, 1 extra-low dispersion (ED) element and a hybrid aspherical element, and benefits from Samyang's Ultra Multi UMC coating which ensures excellent light transmission and minimises reflections and ghosting. The Samyang 16mm offers very low distortion characteristics, as well as professional optical performance and handling. The elements are housed in a solid body weighing approximately 570 g, depending on the mount.

Suited to professional and amateur photographers, the 16mm is equivalent to 24 mm on APS-C sensors, 25.6 mm on Canon EOS (1.6x crop factor), and 32 mm on Olympus and Panasonic MFT system sensor cameras.

The new Samyang 16mm accepts 77 mm filters to attach ND filters, polarising filters or any filter with a 77 mm thread and is equipped with a removable petal-shaped lens hood.

The Samyang 16mm features a wide, knurled manual focus ring that is smooth and well damped. This allows precise manual focusing, particularly suited to video shooting/more professional shooting with DSLRs where manual focus is preferred, allowing focus pulling during video recording.

The lens is supplied with front and rear lens caps, a petal-shaped lens hood and a soft pouch.

Available in Canon EF and EF-M, Fujifilm X, Olympus/Panasonic Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds, Pentax K, Samsung NX, or Sony A and E versions
