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

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

The Samyang 12mm features Samyang's new Nano Crystalline anti-reflection coating system (NCS). This new coating offers an even lower reflection factor than Samyang's UMC coatings. NCS coating technology provides a precise process for applying the anti-reflection coating more uniformly across the lens surface. Additional benefits offered by the nano-crystalline layer include improved light transmission and increased resistance to flare, resulting in maximum image contrast. This is applied to 2 elements in the 12mm lens.

The Samyang 12mm 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 detachable lens hood and a 67mm filter thread. It is compact and lightweight, weighing approximately 250 g, making it a perfect solution for compact mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera systems.
