Samyang Rokinon 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens for Nikon F

56.4 Landscape Score
16mm f/2 Nikon F
Why we recommend this

Its bright f/2.0 aperture provides excellent low-light performance for an ultra-wide-angle prime lens, making it well-suited for astrophotography or indoor architectural shots. The inclusion of aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements contributes to sharp, color-accurate images with minimal distortion. This lens is best for Nikon APS-C shooters who need a fast, wide prime for landscapes or environmental portraits where a shallow depth of field is desired.
