Category: rokinon lenses
The new Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS lens is specifically designed for mirrorless camera mounts. It is available in a variety of lens mounts, including Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds. Depending on the camera system, the 35mm focal length equivalency varies, offering 24mm for MFT cameras, 19.2mm for Canon M cameras, and 18mm for the other three mounts.
With a fast f/2.0 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and allows for precise control over depth of field, producing pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds. The minimum focus distance is an impressive 7.9 inches. The lens's optical construction features three extra-low dispersion elements, one aspherical element, and one hybrid aspherical element, which help to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortions, resulting in sharper image quality.
To further enhance image clarity, the Rokinon 12mm lens is equipped with a Nano Coating System (NCS) applied to the inner surface of the two front-most lens elements. This coating improves light transmission and effectively suppresses lens flare and ghosting, leading to more contrast-rich and color-neutral images.
The lens accepts front filters and features a 67mm diameter thread. Included in the package are the front and rear lens caps, a removable lens hood, an instruction manual, and a 1-year warranty from Rokinon.
This prime wide-angle lens is particularly well-suited for architectural and landscape photography, providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 18mm, which allows for the capture of expansive scenes with a sense of depth and scale. The fast f/2.0 aperture further benefits those working in low-light conditions, enabling the use of faster shutter speeds and the ability to control depth of field for creative effect.
In conclusion, the Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS lens is a versatile and high-quality wide-angle prime that offers excellent optical performance and features, making it a compelling choice for mirrorless camera users seeking a wide-angle lens for their creative pursuits.
