Samyang XP 10mm f/3.5 10mm
Its 18-element optical design with three aspherical and three ED elements delivers an ultra-wide 10mm perspective with minimal distortion on full-frame Canon EF cameras. The durable aluminum alloy housing and built-in petal-shaped hood add practical, lightweight protection for field use. This manual focus prime is best for architectural and landscape photographers who need rectilinear rendering and can work methodically from a tripod.
