The Samyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS is a perfect ultra wide-angle lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras with crop factor sensors (CS). It is a high-performance lens, particularly well 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 12mm should be one of the best wide-angle prime lenses available in its class.

The Samyang 12mm offers a wide-angle equivalent of 18mm on APS-C sensors, and 24mm on Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mounts. A fast aperture of f/2.0 allows photography even in low-light conditions. The lens optical construction 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 elements, offering exceptional performance. Technologically, the Samyang 12mm is the most advanced Samyang lens to date.

The Samyang 12mm incorporates Samyang's new Nano Crystal System (NCS) anti-reflection coating. This new coating offers an even lower reflection factor than Samyang's UMC coatings. The NCS coating technology provides a precise process for applying the anti-reflection coating more uniformly across the lens surface. Additional benefits offered by the nanocrystalline layer include improved light transmission, increased resistance to lens 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 removable lens hood and a 67mm filter thread. It is compact and lightweight, weighing approximately 250 g, making it a perfect solution for compact interchangeable-lens mirrorless camera systems.
