Product Review
Made just for mirrorless mounts is the new Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS lens. It is available in Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Samsung NX, Sony E and Micro Four Thirds mounts. Its 35mm focal length equivalency for MFT cameras is 24mm, for Canon M cameras it is 19.2mm, and for the other three mounts, 18mm. With an f/2.0 maximum aperture, it is particularly effective in low-light capture and can control shallow depth of field for precise subject focus with pleasing out-of-focus backgrounds. It offers a minimum focus distance of 7.9". The lens’s impressive optical construction consists of three Extra-low Dispersion elements, one aspherical, and one hybrid aspherical element. The nano-crystal coating is applied to the inner surface of the two front-most lens elements to minimize ghosting and flare and improve overall image clarity. The Rokinon 12mm accepts front filters and provides a 67mm diameter thread.
- ADVANCED OPTICS FOR SHARP IMAGES: Built with 12 elements in 10 groups, including 3 ED and 2 aspherical elements, it ensures crisp image quality, reduced chromatic aberration, and minimized distortion across the frame.
- CAPTURE SCENES IN FULL WIDTH: Designed for APS-C sensors, this 12mm lens delivers an ultra-wide 98.9° angle ideal for landscapes, cityscapes, and real estate interiors without distortion at the edges.
- NANO COATING SYSTEM FOR ENHANCED CONTRAST: The lens features Rokinon's Nano Coating System, which suppresses flare and ghosting for accurate color reproduction and improved clarity in backlit or high-glare conditions.
- FAST f/2.0 APERTURE FOR LOW-LIGHT PERFORMANCE: With a bright f/2.0 aperture, this lens excels in dim environments, capturing vivid, detailed images at night or indoors without needing a flash or tripod.
- LIGHTWEIGHT & COMPACT DESIGN WITH MANUAL PRECISION: Weighing under 9 oz and featuring a long focus throw, this lens provides precise manual focusing while being highly portable for on-the-go photography.
