Capture more delicate and wider world with the portable 12mm extra-wide-angle lens

Samyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS is a perfect ultra-wide-angle lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras with Cropped Sensors (CS). it is a high performing lens, especially suited to cameras fitted with a high-resolution sensor (above 24MP). Samyang lenses offer great quality optics at an affordable price, the new Samyang 12 mm is expected to be one of the best wide-angle prime lenses available in its class.

The Samyang 12 mm offers an equivalent wide angle of 18mm on APS-C sized sensors, 24mm on Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount. A fast aperture of f/2.0 allows shooting even in lower light conditions. The optical construction of the lens comprises 12 elements divided into 10 groups including one aspherical lens (ASP) and one hybrid aspherical lens (H-ASP). There are also three lenses made of ED glass, offering superb performance. Technologically the Samyang 12mm lens is the most advanced Samyang lens to date.

The Samyang 12mm features Samyangs new nanocrystal anti-reflection coating system (NCS). This new coating provides even lower reflection factor than Samyang's UMC coatings. The NCS coating technology offers exacting process to apply anti-reflection coating more evenly on the surface of the lens. Other benefits brought by the nanocrystal layer include improved light transmission, increased resistance to reflections resulting in maximum image contrast. This is applied to 2 elements in the 12mm lens.

 Samyang 12mm 1:2.0 NCS CS is a great lens for landscape photography, interiors and architecture photography or astrophotography where a high-quality wide-angle is desired. It features a removable lens hood and 67mm filter thread. It is compact and lightweight, weighing around 250g making it a perfect solution for compact mirrorless interchangeable lens camera systems.
