Samyang 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens Sony E

The Samyang 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens Sony E works with Sony E DSLRs and APS-C format cameras. This sort of lens is most appropriate for architecture, landscapes, interior pictures, panoramic views as well as filming monuments for the most part due to it´s angle of view of 83.1°.

Manufactured and specially designed with superior quality materials, this type of ultra-wide Samyang lens will overstate the depth of field which often makes objects in the background appear to be further away from the foreground as compared to how they essentially seem to be in reality and allows for the opportunity to exaggerate curves and lines.

A hybrid aspherical glass element provides optimum light transmission and delivers highly accurate colour reproduction. As with the vast majority of modern Samyang lenses the lens is sprayed making use of a layer of multilayer anti-reflective coating or (UMC).

A conventional field of view is supplied when using lenses of a 30-35mm focal length, this is often similar to what the human eye percieves, consequently at 18mm you can actually fit a lot more inside the frame as the field of view is nearly two times as wide, while at 12mm you can expect to fit 50% more of the FOV for example. The photographer may make use of this unique effect in all varieties of artistic ways.
