The Samyang VDSLR 16mm T2.2 CS II provides a natural wide-angle perspective (24mm equivalent) for APS-C Canon video shooters at an accessible price. The de-clicked aperture and geared rings are production essentials for smooth exposure transitions and follow focus operation. Compatible with Canon APS-C DSLRs (EF-S bayonet) and Canon DSLR-compatible mirrorless adapters.
Verify de-clicked aperture has no click detents. Test focus ring gear compatibility with follow focus systems. Inspect for fungus, haze, and UMC coating condition. Confirm EF-S mount engagement on Canon APS-C bodies.
