Key Features
  • Canon EF-M Mount/APS-C Format
  • 24mm Equivalency in 35mm Format
  • Aperture Range: f/2.0-22
  • Two Aspherical Lens Elements
The 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens for Canon EF-M 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.

A Night Photographer's Staple

By Jiri K
Rated 5 out of 5

If you shoot astro and milky way, this is it! - It's nicely wide, even on a crop sensor - 2.0 is plenty fast to keep your ISO down and still avoid star trails - surprisingly sharp wide open and razor sharp 5.6 and up - focus ring has a long throw, is firm, yet buttery smooth. No creep - If you do infrared, there is no red dot, so you need to test focus - mine came with a petal hood - mine is a Pentax mount, so has no confirmation chip - this means no EXIF data other than lens focus distance is written - I use back-button focusing, so can easily focus even without chip Good lens, and for the money a total bargain. Image Quality wise it is on par with my Pentax 15/4 Limited

4.5 Stars. It works great with my K-S2 with the exception that it is hard to turn the F-stop ring while mounted to the camera (flash overhang of body is too close to lens, but that is a Pentax issue and not the lens). Was surprised, but ecstatic, how sharp my photos were shooting hand held in dusk lighting at F2.0. Not bothered by manual focus, but would appreciate at least an ability to project focus indication in the viewfinder so I didn't always have to use the external viewscreen to do my focusing. This is why I pull a half star back. Bought to use for Aurora shooting, haven't had a chance to test that, but feeling confident. Highly recommend for landscape style at the very least.

Will this lense work on Canon RP with the adapter RF -?
Asked by: Hanh
The Rokinon 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens for Canon EF-S Mount is an apsc lens and the Canon RP is full frame so it will crop the full frame sensor of the RP. Less than half of the available megapixels will be used, but the lens will work with the Canon EF RF adapter.

I'm seeing conflicting reports ... Will this lens work on a Nikon D5000 DX? Wanting it for night/astrophotography. Thank you!
Asked by: N
Yes, Rokinon 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS for Nikon F Mount is fully compatible with Nikon DSLRs with APS-C sized image format such as your Nikon D5000. The lens is manual focus only therefore you will need to set your camera to manual mode (M), operate the aperture on the lens, and control the shutter speed and ISO on the camera.

question

Can I use this lens with the nikon d5200?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, it has the 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."

question

Why the read-out information marks F4.8 or f5.6 when I got the f2 ring in the Nikon D7000?
Asked by: Juan L.
I have a D5600 but it should be the same:The Nikon version of this lense DOES actually have electric contacts that work with the camera. You have to keep the lens' apeture ring at 22, but then you can adjust the apeture from within your camera.
