Lens Overview — Samsung 16mm f/2.4

The Samsung 16mm f/2.4 Ultra Wide Pancake Lens is a prime wide-angle optic built for Samsung NX mirrorless cameras. Designed around the APS-C format, this lens offers a fixed 16mm focal length paired with a maximum aperture of f/2.4, giving photographers a bright, wide perspective in a remarkably compact package. At just 75 grams, this pancake-style lens is one of the lightest options available for the NX system, making it an appealing companion for travel, street, and everyday photography where portability is a priority.

The 43mm filter thread keeps accessory costs low and the overall footprint slim. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus operation, giving shooters flexibility depending on the shooting scenario. With no image stabilization on board, users will need to rely on their own technique or faster shutter speeds in lower light situations — though the f/2.4 aperture does provide a reasonable amount of light gathering capability.

Overall, this is a purpose-built ultra-wide prime that prioritizes size and weight above all else, fitting neatly into the NX ecosystem for photographers who want a no-fuss, compact wide-angle option.
