SAMYANG AF 16mm F2.8 P FE – New Addition to the Prima Series
“Prima” is a Latin word meaning “first” and “important,” and SAMYANG’s Prima series is designed to be the user’s “first lens,” the first lens they pick up when taking a photo.
The SAMYANG AF 16mm F2.8 P FE is a lightweight and compact wide-angle lens with a total length of 70.5mm and a weight of 207g, combining excellent portability and practicality.
The lens combines a wide angle of view with a focal length of 16mm with macro performance with a minimum focusing distance of 0.12m and a maximum magnification of 0.33x, making it suitable for a wide range of photography scenes, including travel, landscapes, street photography, and close-ups.Its size makes it a natural fit when attached to an APS-C format camera, and in that case the angle of view is equivalent to 24mm in 35mm format, further expanding creative possibilities.
Its light weight makes it ideal for outdoor shooting and content creation using handheld or gimbal shooting. From everyday snapshots to travel scenery, it’s easy to carry around without taking up much space, and it’s capable of capturing decisive moments with excellent image quality.
This lens also boasts excellent macro performance, achieving sharp focus and excellent detail while maintaining the sense of depth that only a wide-angle lens can provide, even when approaching the subject as close as 12cm.
Other features include a proprietary high-strength plastic body, which combines durability with a luxurious feel. The newly designed lens hood effectively reduces flare and ghosting. The camera also boasts IP5X-equivalent dust resistance, but this does not guarantee complete dust protection under all conditions.
