Superior Optical Design for Unmatched Image Quality

The lens features a complex construction of 13 elements in 11 groups, including:

• Two Aspherical Glass Elements: Reduce distortion and spherical aberrations for edge-to-edge sharpness.
• Two ED Glass Elements: Minimise chromatic aberrations for vibrant and true-to-life colours.

Compatibility Note

The Samyang 16mm f/2 is optimised for APS-C format cameras. While it can be mounted on full-frame cameras (often with an adapter), the smaller image circle will result in black vignetting around the edges, requiring cropping during post-processing. For optimal performance, this lens is best suited for APS-C sensors.
