Description

Overview

The feature set and overall performance of the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF Compact Ultra Wide Angle lens for APS-C Sony E mount cameras surpass anything else in its class.

Weighing just 7.51oz and measuring 2.33” in length, this compact, rugged, and lightweight autofocusing lens offers the best combination of value and performance available. Additionally, it provides a rectilinear 99.1° angle of view. With the added protection of weather sealing and a Rear Protector Glass, this lens offers much more versatility than its competitors.

By utilizing the latest Linear Stepping Motor technology, the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF lens delivers a more compact design alongside improved autofocus performance. Since the lens only requires the movement of a single focusing group, it ensures fast, quiet, and precise focusing whether you’re shooting stills or videos. Moreover, its design allows for close focusing to just 7.48 inches without any change in length or front element rotation.

With its bright F2.0 aperture, this lens enables faster shutter speeds, perfect for superior astrophotography and low-light results. Furthermore, the F2.0 aperture creates a stunning sense of depth in your daytime images, effectively isolating the subject from a pleasing, de-focused background.

The optical construction consists of twelve elements in ten groups, including an advanced version of Ultra Multi Coating (UMC). This coating controls flare and ghosting while maximizing light transmission, contrast, and color accuracy. Additionally, five specialized lens elements (1 Aspherical, 3 Extra-low Dispersion, and 1 Hybrid-Aspherical) minimize aberrations and distortion, resulting in sharp, thoroughly corrected imagery.

The Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF lens boasts a new elegant design with a matte black finish and a comfortable micro-pattern rubber focusing ring, all housed in a durable all-metal body. Thanks to its dramatically wide angle of view, this exciting and attractively priced high-performance lens is the ideal choice for landscape, night sky, architecture, and interior photography.

The Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF Lens for Sony E mount comes complete with a removable petal-shaped hood, lens caps, and a custom-fitted case.
