Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 

Capture stunning wide-angle shots with the Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 lens. Manual focus, Micro Four Thirds. Excellent image quality. Shop now!

Become a master of wide-angle photography with the Rokinon 12mm F/2.0 Ultra Wide Angle Silver Lens, specifically designed for Micro Four Thirds Mount. This high-quality lens offers a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 24mm, coupled with a broad 83-degree angle of view, making it an ideal choice for capturing stunning architectural, interior, and landscape images. The lens's fast f/2.0 maximum aperture is a reliable ally when shooting in low-light conditions, ensuring that your images are always bright and clear. The lens utilizes innovative aspherical lens technology, incorporating three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements into its optical design. This advanced technology effectively minimizes chromatic aberrations and distortion, resulting in sharper, more detailed images.Further enhancing its performance, the Rokinon 12mm F/2.0 lens features a Nano Coating System (NCS) applied to the lens elements. This innovative coating reduces surface reflections and prevents lens flare and ghosting, improving light transmission and delivering more contrast-rich imagery. The lens's compact and lightweight design makes it a versatile choice for photographers on the go. Whether you're into landscape, architecture, or street photography, the Rokinon 12mm F/2.0 Ultra Wide Angle Silver Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount is a durable and high-performing addition to your photography gear.

Got this lens as a fast, ultra wide angle option to my 16-80mm F4.0 zoom. Manual focus is easy to execute with focus peaking option on my X-T4, plus the camera's IBIS means that there is no issue no having IS in the lens. In addition, most landscapes would be essentially in focus at infinity in any case.

The lens feels very well constructed and comes with a reversible hood and also includes a string pull storage pouch.

Plan on using this for right city shots and wide angle landscapes.  The fast aperture will be useful in low light conditions, but I have not had an opportunity to use it in this scenario. 

I also appreciate the clicked aperature ring, as I shot mainly in aperture priority and don't want the aperature changing inadvertently. 

Rokinon also has an auto-focus version of this lens for X-mount, but at twice the price, I can't see the value, seeing how easy it is to focus this lens manually and that my intended subjects are not moving.

Fast, ultra wide angle lens

Excellent lens, purchased for night sky photography.   Stars are nice and sharp, out to the edges, with minimal chromatic aberration.  Excellent value for the price.

Excellent Value for Astrophotography

So far I?m really impressed with this lens. It feels pretty solid (yes some of it?s plastic, but the body is not) and isn?t overly heavy.
I was a little concerned about it being manual, as I?m fairly new to photography (outside of iPhone shooting!!), so wasn?t sure how I?d get on with it, but honestly I love having ultimate control over the shot, and also knowing that there is no way o can rely on automatic mode! I don?t think the dial stops are 100% accurate, but it?s certainly not a deal breaker, and honestly, I?m not looking at the dial when I turn it anyway!
I got this primarily for Astro shots as a lot of people recommend it for that.

Great lens at a great price

Perfect addition to my Sony A650O. The lens has Manual focus which gives you more control.  The infinity use is easy to find because of the markings.  Will enjoy this lens while traveling.

Perfect fit

Very nice, relatively inexpensive manual focus lens.   As wide angle don't need precise manual focus.  As you need to get close to foreground subject 3' works most of the time.  Nice sharp images. Not a heavy lens but not a lightweight either.  Capleash interfers with focus ring (and lens cap is relatively large) so capleash got donated to another lens with AF and a tiny lenscap.  Wish that Adorama included one very good lens protecting UV filter instead of sending a trio of mediocre filters.

Nice Manual Focus Lens

Incredible wide angle lens

As a total newb I had no idea what I was in for. I read some other reviews and thought people just got it because it was “less expensive” This  lens is awesome and really helps perfect the manual focus technique and the photos come out great. Recommend forrrr surrreee.

This wide angle lens widened my horizons

Amazing little lens for the money! And a fast f2.0. It's gotten me out of a tight corner several times now!

Great little lens!

I bought this lense for astrophotography but weather has not cooperated. But it also take beautiful landscape photos. Also fairly light to carry around.

Nice lense fo multiple purposes

Very impressed with this lens. Wide open it’s going to give you great results.

Impressive!

Wide angle and it takes beautiful pictures

It doesn't have auto-focus, so most of the time you may get pictures out of the focus.

If you are OK with manual focus, then this is an OK lense

Very wide

Awesome

Great lens for what I needed it for. Super fast shipping and great customer service.

Great lens and great service from Adorama!

Good quality comes with lens cap and storage bag. Can’t really beat it for the price, good for beginner astro photography.

Can’t beat the price

A very well built and great performing lens for a fantastic price. If you don't already have the Fuji XF10-24, this is a very affordable way to get a wide lens for landscapes, interior architecture shots, astrophotography, etc. without breaking the bank, and I highly recommend this lens as part of a Travel Lens Kit, I have it as an extension of my 18/2 - 23/1.4 - 35/2 Fuji Primes kit, but even if you just want to have Zoom Lenses in your kit, this lens gives you an interesting 18mm Full-Frame field of view, that most zooms can't reach.

The lack of AF is not an impediment at all, Manual focus is a snap with Fuji's Focus peaking, and at 12mm you're not really worried too much anyway - close up the aperture to f4-f8 and set it to infinity, and just shoot away. The Lens is made with very good quality plastics, and what appears to be chromed Brass at the mount. The controls work well, and the aperture ring is clicked - which I prefer, since I don't do Video - but i think it'll probably shoot great video.

Fast and Cheap Thrills

Amazing Colors
Excellent sharpness with amazing colors. This is a fully manual lens and is a great way to improve your camera skills. This lens is very wide on my a6400 as well. I would have liked to see more controlled lens flare, but you can often work around this by not shooting directly into light sources and the sun

great lens especially for the price! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is I have to remember to switch to take picture without lens for my Fuji TX2, great pictures

definitely recommend

I am very pleased with my Rokinon 12 mm lens. Its manual focus and is everything I heard. If you sport a fujifilm remember to set your camera to "shoot without a lens". Great product.

Rokinon 12mm lens

This is a very good lens, and an excellent value.  If you take the time to focus properly, you'll get great results.

Excellent Value

Great cheap & fast wide angle

I initially bought for the purpose of having a fast aperture wide lens for getting star-field shots at night. And while the center is good at f/2, the corners exhibit a good deal of coma, making it less useful for that purpose, unless you plan to crop.

On the other hand, if you're shooting indoor scenes at night, where your primary subject is towards the center portion of the image, the lens is very useful. F/2 buys you some leeway on shutter speed and ISO so that you can get candid shots in a dimly-lit restaurant or night club.

Stopped down, the coma issues mostly disappear so that by f/5.6 or f/8, it is very good, making it a suitable ultra-wide landscape and city-scape lens. For night-time cityscapes, bring a light tripod or otherwise steady the camera and stop down.

Low-cost, good ultra-wide (19 mm full-frame equiv.) with a fast aperture

Very sharp, excellent quality for this price range!

Great Value

I am using it on the bmpcc4k. I use it with focus assist and it seems to me to be very sharp. It's also not too heavy which is good because I use it on a gimbal sometimes. All in all, I'd say it was a decent purchase.

a good lens

Very happy with my new Rokinon 12mm lens. I'm shooting with Fuji XT10, so not the fanciest camera body. The Rokinon lens has performed great for shooting landscapes, and the Milky Way. The glass clarity is not as high quality as my other Fuji lenses, but I plan to take this lens mountaineering in South America so if I damage it, I'm not out as much $$. Remember to use the "Shooting without lens" setting. I like the solid F stop clicks and that infinity is marked on this lens. There is some vignetting at the edges.

Affordable, wide, fast

I have the Rokinon fisheye 1.8 which is great but I wanted a lens that didn't have so much lens distortion.  In Adobe Camera Raw I clicked the default settings for lens correction and entered the Rokinon 12mm.  Then I transformed to. “Upright”. The final cropped image has ~50% of Topaz Studio “Dramatic HDR” filter applied.  I will use this lens as a primary lens when we travel but will still take my Sony 35mm 1.8 b/c it has auto focus. The “peaking” feature helps.  The photo was taken on the 2nd level of the San Francisco Ferry Building w/the Sony 6000.  ISO 100 aper:8 @ 1/60 sec.

I will use this lens as my primary along with my Sony 35mm 1.8 autofocus when I travel.

Nice, wide lens, extremely sharp. Too bad it does not work with autofocus on Sony but it is so wide that it is not so hard to make everything in focus.

Good lens

This is a fast, sharp lens that does not communicate with the body of the camera (in my case, a Fujifilm X-T30). I recommend it if you know the following: you will have no EXIF data. You will need to shoot with the setting “Shoot without lens.” Beyond needing to focus manually, if you do miss focus with this lens, your image will be largely unusable.

I have had an easy time nailing focus with this lens, so it has been a good choice for me. 

For me, the choice regarding this lens comes down to two key factors: 1) do you need to shoot at 12mm?, and 2) does your budget preclude alternatives? I am happy with my purchase, but I don’t know if I would buy this lens again, as I purchased the absolutely sublime Fujifilm XF 16mmF1.4 R WR at the same time. Yes, there is a difference in angle of view between 12mm and 16mm. However, there’s a big difference between F2 and F1.4, no autofocus and extremely fast autofocus, good glass and genuinely fantastic, legacy level glass. Choose wisely.

A potentially good choice.

Good lens for astrophotography. Not as sharp as other re views claim but for the price I can't complain much
