Samyang MF 16mm T2.6 VDSLR ED AS UMC Lens

The Samyang MF 16mm T/2.6 VDSLR ED AS UMC is a professional-wide cine-style prime lens engineered for full-frame video and photo applications (and also usable on APS-C bodies) in mounts such as Canon EF and Sony FE. According to the product reference, it features a bright T/2.6 aperture (which corresponds roughly to an f/2.8 in photographic terms) and an advanced optical design comprised of 14 elements in 11 groups including 2 aspherical elements, 2 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses and 2 HR (High Refractive) lenses for improved image quality and minimized aberrations.

The lens is optimized for video use: it offers declicked aperture and geared rings suitable for follow-focus systems, marks on both sides for distance and T-number, and a durable build designed for creative wide-angle capture with cinematic control.

Key Features

• Ultra-wide 16 mm focal length, providing a sweeping field of view ideal for immersive wide-angle scenes.
• Bright T/2.6 maximum aperture for low-light and cinematic depth-of-field control.
• Optical construction: 14 elements in 11 groups (includes 2 aspherical + 2 ED + 2 HR) for high clarity and minimized distortion.
• Gear-ring focus and aperture (de-clicked) for smooth iris pulls and precise focus control in video work.
• Large diameter and wide-angle build, with no standard front filter thread (as listed: Filter Size “–”).
• Suitable for mounts like Canon EF and Sony FE (full-frame) and likely others.

Best Suitable

• Video filmmakers and cinematographers using full-frame (or APS-C) systems who want wide angle coverage with cinematic control.
• Landscape, architectural, and interior shooters wanting extreme wide-angle perspective with professional manual control.
• Hybrid creators (photo & video) who favour manual lenses with video-friendly features (geared rings, de-click aperture).
• Camera users on Sony FE or Canon EF mounts seeking a manual-focus ultra-wide prime designed with video in mind.
