Expressive and bright landscape shots
Thanks to its high depth of field, the Samyang 16 mm f/2.0 lens with 80° angle of view is not only ideal for expressive landscape shots, but also as a universal wide-angle and reportage lens. The high speed of f/2.0 allows you to work safely even in unfavorable lighting conditions for optimal shots with sufficient light reserves. The image angle of 80° is easily illuminated by many system flashes. (80° is almost equivalent to 24 mm in 35 mm format). The close focusing distance of 20 cm offers reserves for dynamic close-ups with an expressive background. The focus and aperture are set manually.
Sophisticated optical design for outstanding image quality
The excellent imaging performance is achieved thanks to a sophisticated optical design with 13 multi-coated glass lenses. Two of these are aspherically ground, while two others are made of highly refractive ED glass (extra low dispersion). By using these types of glass, color and aperture errors are almost perfectly corrected, resulting in outstanding image quality. The multi-coated lenses also prevent reflections, which you will notice in the overall contrast of the image. Finally, the color reproduction will be much more brilliant than when using single-coated lenses.
Very high-quality workmanship
The metal frame is very robust and impresses with its elegant appearance. In addition to the high-quality optics, the removable lens hood, which prevents stray light and lens reflections from entering from the side, ensures optimum image results and further design options. The front mount has a filter thread with a diameter of 77 mm.
Using an APS-C lens on a camera with a full-frame sensor
Lenses that were developed for cameras with an APS-C sensor can sometimes be used on cameras with a full-frame sensor (mainly using an adapter). However, due to the significantly smaller image circle of APS-C lenses, the edges are black. The usable area of the image photographed with a full-frame camera therefore corresponds to that of a camera with an APS-C sensor. The images must therefore be cropped in post-processing. The use of APS-C lenses on full-frame cameras is therefore possible, but not recommended.
