The Samyang 12 mm f/2.0 NCS CS is an ultra wide-angle lens perfect for APS-C mirrorless cameras with crop sensor (CS). It is a high-performance lens, particularly suited to cameras equipped with high-resolution sensors (over 24 MP). Samyang lenses offer excellent optical quality at an affordable price, and the new Samyang 12 mm should be one of the best wide-angle prime lenses available in its category.

The Samyang 12 mm offers an equivalent angle of 18 mm on APS-C sensors, 24 mm on Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount. A fast aperture of f/2.0 enables photography even in low-light conditions. The optical construction of the lens comprises 12 elements arranged in 10 groups, including one aspherical lens (ASP) and one hybrid aspherical lens (H-ASP). There are also three ED glass lenses, offering superb performance. Technologically, the Samyang 12 mm is the most advanced Samyang lens to date.

The Samyang 12 mm features Samyang's new Nano Coating System (NCS) anti-reflective coating. This new coating offers an even lower reflectance factor than Samyang's UMC coatings. NCS coating technology provides a precise process for applying the anti-reflective coating more uniformly to the surface of the lens. Additional benefits offered by the nanocrystalline layer include improved light transmission, increased resistance to stray reflections resulting in maximum image contrast. This is applied to 2 elements in the 12 mm lens.

The Samyang 12 mm 1:2.0 NCS CS is an excellent lens for landscape photography, interior and architectural photography, or astrophotography where a high-quality wide-angle is desired. It features a removable lens hood and a 67 mm filter thread. It is compact and lightweight, weighing approximately 250 g, making it a perfect solution for compact mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera systems.
