The 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens for Sony E Mount from Rokinon is a manual focus wide-angle lens compatible with APS-C format mirrorless digital cameras. It provides an 83.1° angle of view which translates into a 35mm format equivalency of 24mm. A fast maximum aperture of f/2.0 is effective in low light shooting and provides shallow depth of field. With two aspherical lens elements and one extra-low dispersion element, chromatic aberrations are minimized and sharp, color-accurate images are the result. UMC lens coating facilitates even light transmission and reduces ghosting and flares.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. hello! does this lens cover APSH sensor like the 1dxii 4k 1.4 crop?

A: No, sorry it will not work perfectly. In fact, it would not work without severe vignetting. We are also of the opinion that it will not even mount on the camera since EF-S lenses are blocked from mounting on an EF mount cameras.

Q: 2. I have the CANON EFs24mm STM that I use for Landscapes, is there an major increase in field of view with the 16mm, comparing to the 24mm field of view ?

A: That lens, the EF-S 24mm, is giving you over 38mm on a crop sensor, without knowing field of view, I'm not sure what you would end up with. I'm no expert on this, but I believe Canon always gives focal length in 35mm equivalent. But even at that length, you could use it for astrophotography, less field of view.

Q: 3. Does the AE Chip work on a D3500? What does the AE chip do?

A: Yes, the AE chip allows communication between lens and camera, for aperture and metering purposes.

Q: 4. Hi, will this lens fit on Canon EOS 800D?

A: Yes

Q: 5. Is this lens compatible for Nikon FX format as well? Or is it only compatible with the DX format?

A: It is strictly a DX lens.

Q: 6. Hello! Does it work perfectly on an APSH 1.4 crop sensor suck the 1DXii 4k mode?

A: No, sorry it will not work perfectly. In fact, it would not work without severe vignetting. We are also of the opinion that it will not even mount on the camera since EF-S lenses are blocked from mounting on an EF mount cameras.

Q: 7. I own this lens. Has anyone ever tried it on a FF body? The reason I ask, is that it connects to the 7D at the red dot, not the white square. It takes great shots for astrophotography, no coma to my eye at all. I focus using live view, magnified, mirror lock up, and at ISO 1600, +1.5 EV, works great at new moon. Remote shutter release a must.

A: This is an Canon EF-S lens, which means it is for cropped sensor cameras. It will not work with Canon Full Frame Cameras that have a EF mount. They are not compatible.

Q: 8. Will this Lens fit on Canon EOS 7D ? Thank you

A: The Rokinon 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens for Canon EF-S Mount will fit on the 7D, yes. The 7D can use both EF and EF-S mount lenses.

Q: 9. Will I be able to use the in-camera manual-metering exposure system on a Nikon D7100 when using this lens?

A: Yes, when you set your aperture to the red f22, you will be able to use the sub command dial on the front of the grip, using your right index finger, to set and change your aperture and the exposure compensation button does function properly. Auto exposure has been very accurate on my d7100. The only thing missing is auto focus, which, in my opinion, would be almost useless anyway, with such a wide angle lens. Personally, I much prefer the big, smooth-turning, manual focus ring on this lens, to having auto-focus.

Q: 10. The dimensions on this lens are very large and long. Will this need a lens support to prevent strain on the MFT mount?

A: No, I dont use any kind of support for my BMPCC or GH4
