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

The Samyang 16mm is a rectilinear lens offering superb image quality and low distortion. It is perfectly suited to cropped 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 comprises 13 elements in 11 groups, with 2 aspherical lenses, 1 extra-low dispersion (ED) element and a hybrid aspherical element, and features 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 570g, depending on the mount.

Suitable for 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 system cameras.

The new Samyang 16mm accepts 77mm filters for mounting ND filters, polarising filters or any filter with a 77mm 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 work with DSLRs where manual focus is preferred, enabling 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 versions with 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
