A great lens optically, let down greatly by the poor EF mount fitting. It’s not tight at all, causing the mount to knock when focussing which is a huge pain! I don’t have this same issue on the 35mm VDSLR lens, just this 16mm.A shame!
Matthew LeeUsed for three years now for film & doc work, paired with a Blackmagic Pocket camera & my A7S. Gives beautiful sharp images, with a cinematic fall-off wide open.

Mr. E. JacksonBought this for my blackmagic studio camera kit. And it's my go to lens even though I've got many other options. Looks great and gives a wonderful image! Will be buying more Samsung soon!
Voice of reasonDO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A FULL FRAME SENSOR DSLR!!! Put this on my Canon 5d mk iii and the vignetting is crazy! If you see a Samyang lens that says CSII or CS2 watch out....if it states full size sensors are acceptable maybe take a chanceo...I will be sending mine back!

Excellent lens! Using it on my Nikon D3200 allowing my to get a nice wide shot without fish eye! Its fully manual so its perfect for filmmakers like me, if your looking for a photography lens stay clear since there is no auto focus :)
nathan jarmanLove the samyang cinema lenses we have the 14, 16, 35, 50 and 85, they are brilliant quality for the price. We use them for video with a sony FS7 camera and the pictures are stunning.
Liquid ProductionsUltra wide and bright, the Samyang 16mm T2.2 ED AS UMC CS lens is optimised for cinematography with digital reflex cameras and mirrorless compact cameras with APS-C sensors. Samyang VDSLR lenses are fitted with decoupled apertures and rack-compatible gearing which provides effortless and accurate rotation of focus and aperture rings. The lens has been designed with extreme care for detail. Its optics comprise 13 elements in 11 groups, including low-dispersion ED, aspherical and hybrid-aspherical elements. The optics feature multi-layer anti-reflective UMC coatings to ensure optimum light transmission. To facilitate the reading on the focus and aperture scale, both these indexes are marked in a parallel position to the optical axis of the lens.
