Samyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens for Sony E-Mount
The black 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens for Sony E-Mount (APS-C) from Samyang is a prime wide-angle lens designed specifically for APS-C format image sensors. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 18mm and a broad 98.9° angle of view, this lens is well-suited for architectural, interior, and landscape images. Its fast f/2.0 maximum aperture is beneficial for working in low-light conditions.
One aspherical element, one hybrid aspherical element, and three elements made of low-dispersion glass have been incorporated into the optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion for sharper, high-contrast imaging throughout the frame. Additionally, a Nano Coating System (NCS) has been applied to the lens elements in order to reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting. A six-blade aperture closes to create a near full circle and the lens's minimum focus distance is 7.9". The lens barrel is built with aluminum alloy, a 67mm diameter filter thread, and a removable petal-style lens hood.
Three extra-low dispersion elements, one hybrid aspherical element, and an aspherical element reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions in order to produce sharper images from the center to the corner of the image frame. Nano Coating System improves light transmission and suppresses lens flare and ghosting for more contrast-rich, color-neutral images. Durable aluminum alloy builds and included a removable petal-style lens hood.
