Samyang 12mm f/2.0 AF Compact Ultra-Wide Angle Lens for Sony E-Mount

Description

Samyang AF 12mm f/2.0 Overview

Combining a wide-angle perspective with a fast maximum aperture, this 12mm f/2.0 AF Compact Ultra Wide-Angle Lens from Samyang is designed for APS-C format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and provides an 18mm focal length perspective equivalent to 35mm full-frame format. Two extra-low dispersion elements, one aspherical element, and one hybrid-aspherical element are incorporated into the lens construction to help to control aberrations and distortions for increased clarity and sharpness. Ultra Multi-Coating has also been applied to all lens elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity. The bright f/2.0 maximum aperture excels in difficult lighting conditions and enables greater control over depth of field and focus placement. The Linear STM autofocus motor provides fast, quiet focus, and the lens barrel incorporates a custom function switch and a focus hold button for optimal focus control. The seven-blade diaphragm to produce a quality of bokeh.

• 12 elements in 10 groups

Great little lens

I really like the rendering this lens produces on my A6600. Samyang did a nice job with the new lens coatings. A nice improvement on the former manual version.

Great quality at a super price

Crisp and clean images, amazing autofocus speed, & half the price of what I had planned to buy before finding this. What more could you ask for?

Very sharp, and well made

I bought this for real estate photography, looking to replace my over-priced, over-flawed Sony 10-18. No regrets at all other than the loss of 2mm, from 10mm on Sony to 12 on Samyang. Distortion is there but correctable in Lightroom. I get the best results importing without any lens profile since there isn’t a profile for this lens yet in Lightroom. In my experience the AF is only slightly slower than the 10-18, it is a good bit sharper, and has way less optical issues, and f2.0 vs. 4.0. Very satisfied. Highly recommended if you can live without an ultra-wide zoom with its inherent compromises and flaws.

Great for skydive photography

I had the manual version of this lens and was excited to get it with auto focus. It is mounted to a Sony a5100 on a helmet. It is wider than the manual version and therefore doesn’t sit flat. I put the camera in a small rig and problem solved. Auto focus makes my job so much easier. Excellent lens.

Excellent
