This Samyang 16mm lens is a wide angle lens that can encompass a large amount of the image into the frame, this lens provides a great depth of field, that is highly valued inside of landscape photographs. The minimum focusing distance of this wide angle lens is 0. 2m and its large f/2. 0 aperture signifies the lens will work well in lower light circumstances.

Product features:

• The UMC lens coatings will allow even light transmission and decreases ghosting and flare.
• Wide angle focal length equal to 24mm in the 35mm format.
• Fast f/2.0 maximum aperture for efficient low light shooting and shallow depth of field
• Aspherical and extra-low dispersion lens elements decrease aberrations.

The optics of the Samyang lens is 13 elements organized in 11 groups it also contains a low dispersion ED element, an aspheric optical element along with hybrid aspherical glass elements to help enhance the quality and the contrast of photographs,guarantees the best possible light transmission and gives accurate colour reproduction, the lens has been subjected to to a multilayer anti-reflective coating (UMC).

This extra bright lens using a maximum aperture of f/2. 0, is uses an 8 blade diaphragm that forms a virtually perfect circle, this means you can get a fine blurred background, generally known as the Bokeh effect, now you can shoot wide expanses of the skies and highlight the outlines in the cloud formations.

On cropped sensor lenses, a 30-35mm focal length offers what is known as a standard Field of View, that is approximately the same as to what the human eye perceives. At 18mm, the Field of View is virtually twice as wide and fits alot more into the frame, at 12mm, you obtain 50% more FOV again.

The Samyang lens has been developed to the tiniest detail and constructed using top superior quality materials, ultra-wide lenses overstate the depth of field, this is likely to make background objects show up further from the foreground than they really are.

Wide-angle scenes may incorporate several objects at several distances, which often helps to draw the viewer into the frame.The focus ring is smooth and large and provides a really nice feel, making use of a small aperture ring, this lens may be a little bit softer on the edges however it continues to be pretty sharp and spectacular when looking at the low cost.
