ROKINON, a renowned lens manufacturer, 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. This fast and rugged lens offers an unmatched feature set and overall performance within its class.

Weighing only 7.51 oz and measuring 2.33" in length, this compact and lightweight autofocusing lens provides the best combination of value and performance to date. It boasts a rectilinear 99.1° angle of view, and with the added protection of weather sealing and a Rear Protector Glass, it offers enhanced versatility.

Utilizing the newest Linear Stepping Motor technology, the ROKINON 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, users can achieve faster shutter speeds, resulting in superior astrophotography and low light performance. Furthermore, the F2.0 aperture can help create an impressive sense of depth to daytime images by effectively separating the subject from a pleasing, de-focused background.

The optical construction of the lens is comprised of twelve elements in ten groups, featuring a new and further advanced version of Ultra Multi Coating (UMC). This improved UMC maximizes light transmission, contrast, and color accuracy, while controlling flare and ghosting. Five specialized lens elements (1 Aspherical, 3 Extra-low Dispersion, and 1 Hybrid-Aspherical) are employed to minimize aberrations and distortion, producing sharp, thoroughly corrected imagery.

The ROKINON 12mm F2.0 AF incorporates a new elegant look with a matte black finish and a comfortable micro pattern rubber focusing ring over a durable all-metal housing. With its dramatically wide angle of view, this ROKINON high-performance model is the lens of choice for landscape, night sky, architecture, and interior shooting.

Compatibility is extended to all Sony E-Mount Mirrorless cameras, and the lens features an aperture range of F2.0-22. The integrated autofocus motor works in conjunction with Sony cameras' focusing systems for quick, accurate, and precise AF control. Additionally, the lens has a minimum focusing distance of 7.48 inches and a filter size of 62mm.

In conclusion, the ROKINON 12mm F2.0 AF Compact Ultra Wide Angle lens for APS-C Sony E mount cameras offers an unparalleled combination of performance, value, and versatility, making it a compelling choice for a wide range of photography enthusiasts and professionals.
