A fast, serious lens from an unusual source
It's good to see Samyang again. There used to many more independent manufactures who brought out products that were less expensive that the original manufactures. Up to a few month ago, only Sigma and Tamron were the serious independent players. Now we see that this fast 16 lens with 13 elements is a serious contender and at a bargain price.
The ultra wide angle, bright lens Samyang 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS was
designed with utmost diligence. Its optical structure is based on 13
elements arranged in 11 groups. This includes one ED-type lens of extra
low dispersion ratio, one optical glass aspherical lens and one hybrid
aspherical. The lenses have multi-layer anti-reflective UMC coating
which ensures very good transmission of light. Solid casing and the
quality of workmanship aligned with excellent optical parameters make
this lens an exceptionally attractive and user-friendly tool both for
professional and amateur photographers. Not bad, Samyang, keep it going.
