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

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

The optical construction includes 13 elements in 11 groups, with 2 aspherical lenses, 1 extra-low dispersion (ED) element and a hybrid aspherical element, and features Samyang's UMC Ultra Multi coating which ensures excellent light transmission and minimises flare 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 570g, depending on the mount.

Suitable for both professional and amateur photographers, the 16mm equates to a 24mm on APS-C sensors, 25.6mm on Canon EOS (1.6x crop factor), and 32mm on Olympus and Panasonic MFT system cameras.

The new Samyang 16mm accepts 77mm filters for attaching ND, polarising or any filter with a 77mm thread and has a detachable petal lens hood.

The Samyang 16mm features a wide ribbed manual focus ring that is smooth and well damped. This provides positive manual focusing, particularly suited to video / more professional DSLR filming where manual focus is preferred, allowing focus pulling during video recording.

The lens comes with front and rear caps, a petal-shaped lens hood and a soft case.

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 mounts
