Samyang VDSLR 16mm T2.2 ED AS UMC CS II

The Samyang VDSLR 16mm T2.2 ED AS UMC CS II is a wide-angle cinema lens designed for APS-C (crop sensor) cameras. It features a de-clicked aperture ring and geared focus rings for use with follow-focus systems. The optical construction includes extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements to control chromatic aberration and maintain sharpness across the frame. It is particularly suited for landscape cinematography and architectural videography where a broad field of view is required without significant distortion. When purchasing a used VDSLR II lens, the geared rings should be inspected for uneven wear or missing teeth, as these are critical for smooth operation. Focus rotation should be fluid without catching or gritty sensations. SDS checks the internal optics for dust and haze, and ensures the de-clicked aperture operates smoothly across the entire range from T2.2 to T22. Check the rear mount for signs of excessive wear from repeated lens changes.
