The new Samyang 16mm AE f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS is an ultra wide-angle manual focus lens designed for Nikon DX digital cameras. This Nikon AE version of the Samyang 16mm incorporates electronic circuitry that enables full control of exposure settings accessible from the Nikon camera, including i-TTL flash communication and EXIF data. The Samyang 16mm is a rectilinear lens, offering excellent image quality and low distortion. It is ideally suited to cameras with APS-C sensors for landscape photography and general photography requiring a high-quality wide-angle lens. The fast f2 aperture enables low-light photography. 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 Coating (UMC) treatment, which ensures excellent light transmission and minimises flare and ghosting. The elements are housed in a sturdy body weighing approximately 570 g, depending on the mount. Suitable for both professional and amateur photographers, the 16mm is equivalent to 24mm on APS-C sensors, 25.6mm on Canon EOS (1.6x crop factor) and 32mm on Olympus and Panasonic MFT sensor system cameras. The new Samyang 16mm lens accepts 77mm filters to attach ND, polarising or any other filter with a 77mm thread, and features a removable petal lens hood. The Samyang 16mm has a wide, ribbed manual focus ring that is smooth and well damped. This allows precise manual focusing, particularly suited to more professional videography/cinematography with DSLRs where manual focus is preferred, enabling follow focus during video recording. The lens is supplied with front and rear lens caps, a petal lens hood and a soft pouch. specifications
