The new Rokinon 12mm f2.0 NCS CS Ultra Wide Angle Lens is designed specifically for mirrorless cameras. With a 35mm focal length equivalency of 18mm for Sony E-Mount (NEX) Cameras, this lens offers an impressive 98.9-degree angle of view. Its fast f/2.0 maximum aperture makes it particularly effective in low-light capture, allowing for precise subject focus with pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds.
The lens's impressive optical construction consists of three Extra-low Dispersion elements, one aspherical, and one hybrid aspherical element. The nano-crystal coating is applied to the inner surface of the two front-most lens elements to minimize ghosting and flare, and improve overall image clarity. This lens focuses down to a minimum distance of 7.9" (0.2m) and accepts 67mm filters.
The Rokinon 12mm f2.0 NCS CS Ultra Wide Angle Lens is not a zoomable lens, but its fast f/2.0 maximum aperture and high-precision glass lens elements provide superior image quality. The Nano Coating System (NCS) further enhances light transmission and reduces internal reflections, ensuring a clear and sharp image.
In summary, this Rokinon lens is a versatile and high-performing option for mirrorless camera users seeking a wide-angle lens with a fast aperture and excellent optical quality. Its compact design, impressive features, and competitive price point make it a compelling choice for photographers in need of a capable ultra-wide-angle lens.
