The 12mm/2.8 from Samyang is a full-frame fisheye lens that delivers outstanding performance. With a diagonal field of view of approximately 180° on full-frame cameras, it provides an expansive image area, making it perfect for landscapes, interiors, and tight spaces, as well as for reporting in such environments. The lens brings the subject into the right light. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it offers a large initial light intensity. Thanks to its short focal length and low reproduction scale, it features a very large depth of field.

High-quality optics. The lens is internally focused with a minimum focusing distance of about 20 centimeters. The optical design consists of 12 elements in 8 groups, which is quite complex and promises excellent imaging performance. The multi-coating of all the lens elements used in the lens is standard for Samyang. It allows for higher light transmission, better color reproduction, and increased contrast. Additionally, a glass surface is coated with the NCS Nano Coating System, resulting in even more brilliant images.

Advantages of a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor. Save time in post-processing. Many lens errors, such as distortion, edge softness, or vignetting, occur in the outer areas of the image. When using a lens designed for full-frame on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not utilized. Thus, you achieve maximum quality, eliminating the need for additional post-processing time to correct lens errors.
