Product Description
Samyang continues to build upon its impressive array of auto-focus prime lenses with the unveiling of its new 12mm F2.0 AF Compact Ultra Wide Angle lens for APS-C Sony E mount cameras. The feature set and overall performance of this fast and rugged lens are unmatched by any in its class. At 7.51 oz in weight, and 2.33” in length, this compact and lightweight autofocusing lens offers the best combination of value and performance than ever before. What’s more, it provides a rectilinear 99.1°angle of view, and with the added protection of weather sealing, and a Rear Protector Glass, it allows for lots more versatility. Utilizing the newest Linear Stepping Motor technology, the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF lens combines a more compact design with improved auto-focus performance. By requiring the movement of only a single focusing group, it delivers especially fast, quiet, and precise focusing, whether shooting stills or videos. The design also allows for close focusing to 7.48” with no change in length or front element rotation. With a bright F2.0 aperture, faster shutter speeds can be achieved for superior astrophotography and low light results. Furthermore, the F2.0 aperture can help create an impressive sense of depth to your daytime images by effectively separating the subject from a pleasing, de-focused background. The optical construction is comprised of twelve elements in ten groups with a new and further advanced version of Ultra Multi Coating (UMC). Besides controling flare and ghosting, this improved UMC maximizes light transmission, contrast and color accuracy. Thanks to five specialized lens elements (1 Aspherical, 3 Extra-low Dispersion, and 1 Hybrid-Aspherical) aberrations and distortion are minimized to produce sharp, thoroughly corrected imagery. The Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF incorporates a new elegant look with a matte black finish and comfortable micro pattern rubber focusing ring over a durable all-metal housing. And, with its dramatically wide angle of view, this Samyang exciting and attractively priced high-performance model is the lens of choice for landscape, night sky, architecture and interior shooting.

I am particularly impressed with the ultra wide angle perspective this lens offers, allowing me to capture stunning landscapes and cityscapes with ease. The F2.0 aperture is also great for low light situations, giving me the flexibility to shoot in a wide range of lighting conditions.
Considering the price of this lens, it's an absolute steal. It's difficult to find a lens of this quality and performance at such an affordable price point. Overall, I would highly recommend the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF Ultra Wide Angle lens to any Sony camera user looking for a fantastic deal on a high-quality wide angle lens.

Me encantó el estuche en el que viene y sus dos protecciones.
It's quite sharp in the center and more than serviceable in the corners even wide open, only getting better as you stop down.
I will be keeping the lens, but my main issue is that the autofocus during video pulses when focusing on something close to the lens. Obviously being an ultrawide angle getting close to things can be quite common, depending on your shooting style. Especially when used for close up talking head style shots, livestreaming, etc., where the camera is stationary, you can clearly see the focus pulsing and consequently because of the focus breathing the frame is also constantly zooming in and out a little bit.
