    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.

    Highlyyyy recommend
    I’ve had this little lens for a few months now and WOW is all I can say. I started my Real Estate Photography business when I bought this lens, because let’s be honest I didn’t have thousands to spend. After having this for a few months, I can say I won’t ever purchase anything else. The ONLY thing that I’ve noticed is it accentuates sun flares (but so does my sigma 50mm & 85mm) so it’s honestly normal. I highly highly recommend this lens! I am about to buy another for a backup.
    Thank you for your feedback

    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023
    This product arrived without the lens hood and was obviously used and then sold as is. This product is not new. It has a fingerprint on the sensor sides lens when I opened it and was not in any sort of seal or even plastic. Disappointed to say the least. Would rather pay the extra money with B&H.
