The black, Micro Four Thirds mount Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens is a prime wide-angle lens designed specifically for use with Micro Four Thirds sized image sensors. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 24mm and a broad 83° angle of view, this lens is well-suited for architectural, interior, and landscape images. Its fast f/2.0 maximum aperture is further beneficial to working in low-light conditions.

Three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements have been incorporated into the optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion in order to produce sharper images. Additionally, a Nano Coating System (NCS) has been applied to the lens elements in order to reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting for improved light transmission and more contrast-rich imagery

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this lens manual focus only? I'd be using it with a G7 and was curious if I can us AF or if it has to be MF?

A: Manual focus only. No auto focus. But frankly, I enjoyed the manual focus. It makes you think about the composition of the picture before snapped the shot. In daylight situations, you can stop it down and set the focus at about 10 feet and shoot all the pictures you want. Most will be in focus.

Q: 2. What adapter ring would I need to mount this on my a6000?

A: There are no adapters that we carry that will allow for this. The lens is EF-M mount.

Q: 3. Will this lens work with the Panasonic GH cameras (ie, GH3, GH5) or will I need to get a Fotodiox adapter?

A: This is a Micro Four Third Lens, it will go on Panasonic GH3 or GH5 Cameras, without any adapter. Please note, this is a manual lens, no auto focus no auto aperture. But it is a great wide angle lens.

Q: 4. Is the focal length 12mm or 18mm? Specs are confusing and state both under the focal length section. I have the Sony 18-135 so will this lens be wider?

A: The Samyang lens is 12mm on Sony APS-C E-mount cameras (A6000 series, NEX series, etc). Its equivalent focal length is 18mm if used on a full frame E-mount camera (Sony A7). I use this lens on both my Sony NEX-6 & NEX-7. It's very sharp. Your 18-135mm lens at 18mm is equivalent to 27mm if used on full frame camera (Sony A7). So yes, the view on Samsung 12mm lens is much wider than your 18-135. It is made specifically for APS-C cameras & not recommended to use on full frame cameras.

Q: 5. can one use it with a Canon mount

A: A Canon EF-M camera yes, a Canon EF mount, no.

Q: 6. Does anyone know of a filter holder that doesn't cause vignetting on this superwide lens?

A: Using a thinner screw in filter like the B+W XS-Pro series to prevent vignetting. Using a filter holder with an adapter can be a hit or miss situation.

Q: 7. Will this work on the Sony Nex VG20?

A: The Rokinon 12mm f/2 lens for Sony E-Mount will be compatible with the NEX-VG20, yes.

Q: 8. Can you buy an OEM replacement hood? Mine has been lost.

A: You can use Clip on or screw on lens hood. Unfortunately Rokinon does not provide this accesory as individual sale. You can only get the original lens hood by contacting the manuafcture to request parts.

Q: 9. Trying to wrap my brain around this. Will this lens work on the new pxw-fs5?

A: Yes, it should work but you should get the cine version.

Q: 10. I'm considering using this lens on a Canon M3. With the M3 set in Manual mode, and after setting the aperture and shutter speed manually, will the M3's Auto ISO function work with this lens, or must you set the ISO level manually too?

A: Yes, the Auto ISO function will work with the Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 lens mounted on your Canon M3.
