After several months of use, I can confidently say this device has become a permanent fixture on my desk—and not just because I’m too busy to unplug it. The voice dictation works impressively well, saving both time and keyboard wear, while the video quality is sharp enough to make even Monday morning Zoom calls look respectable.
Whether you’re conferencing or simply attempting to look professional from your home office, the performance is consistently reliable. As someone with over 25–30 years in the IT industry, I don’t hand out praise lightly—but in this case, it’s well deserved.
In short, this is an excellent choice for everyday office use. Logitech continues its long-standing tradition of delivering quality products—thankfully, without requiring an IT support ticket to get started.
If only every piece of tech behaved this well, IT departments everywhere could finally take a proper coffee break.
Samyang 16mm T2.6 ED AS UMC Lens (Nikon F)
The Samyang VDSLR MF 16mm T2.6 ED AS UMC is a wide-angle cine lens with an impressive focal length of 16mm designed for DSLR cameras with a full-frame sensor. Of course, it also fits on cameras with APS-C sensors, in which case the corresponding crop factor comes into play. The image angle of 106.91 degrees (at the full format) gives professionals in the field of film and photography enormous freedom in the staging of their scenes. This focal length is not only suitable for wide landscapes, but also for interiors, even cramped ones. In the city, two streets meeting at the right angle fit simultaneously on the picture, or also two sides of a house.
Excellent optical performance: Thanks to its 14 elements in 11 groups, the lens delivers excellent image quality. These include 2 aspherical lenses (ASP), which ensure extremely low distortion, 2 high refractive lenses (HR), which optimize the light flow and reduce color deviations, and 2 lenses with extremely low dispersion (ED) for correcting color errors.
Optimized for Follow Focus systems: Thanks to the quiet and step-less focus and aperture rings, this lens is ideal for use with professional Follow Focus systems. In addition, the distance scale and T-numbers are positioned on both sides of the lens for ease of use.
Available for different camera connections: The Samyang VDSLR MF 16mm T2.6 cine lens is available for the following camera connections: Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K, Sony A, Canon M, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Sony E as well as MFT.
The optical design consists of 14 elements in 11 groups, which include 2 aspherical elements to assure maximum sharpness throughout the image plane even at large apertures
The lens acts as an ultra-wide angle on a full-frame camera (35mm format) while on a model with APS-C sensor / Super 35 it provides an angle of view corresponding to 24 mm
