Key Features
- Sony Alpha Mount Lens
- For APS-C Sized Image Format
- Aperture Range: f/2.0-22
- 24mm Equivalency in 35mm Format
The 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens for Sony Alpha APS-C Mount from Rokinon is a manual focus wide-angle lens compatible with APS-C format DSLR 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 flare.

How is does this lens perform in video mode? Looking for a budget option to the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 because I don't have a mirrorless camera.
I have never used this lens for video; however, I am very impressed with some of my night photography of the Milky Way with this lens attached to my Canon EOS 7D Mark II. I generally don't use it for day time photography, due to the inconvenience of manual focusing only, but the pics I have taken are of exceptional quality, especially landscapes. I am very happy to have purchased this lens for my Canon.

how does this compare How does this compare to the Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 for astrophotography?
I can't compare the two as only I have the 16mm lens. The 16mm does an adequate job with astrophotography. I've captured the milky way, meteor showers, constellations and star trails. One aspect I notice is that brighter objects in the night sky, planet and major stars for example, tend to exhibit a starburst pattern on the image. I don't know why that's happening, whether it's inherent in the lens design or something I'm not setting up correctly in my camera settings. I'm not crazy about the effect, but it's there none the less. Thus, I have some research to do. Overall, I'm satisfied with my lens.

question
Does this lens have a focus-assist chip that works with a Nikon D7100?
Yes, it has the chip and electronic contacts to needed to work with the D3XXX, the D5XXX, and the D7500 cameras. The instruction manual for the Rokinon 16mm f/2.0 states:
"Your Nikon mount has electronic contacts that allow it to communicate with Nikon AF cameras. These contacts enable the A, S, and P modes of the camera. When a subject is correctly in focus, the camera emits a beep or an indicator light comes on."
