About Rokinon 12mm F2.8 Full Frame Fisheye, Manual Focus Lens for Nikon F Mount with AE Chip
Overhaul your photographic experience with the Rokinon 12mm F2.8 Full Frame Fisheye Lens, a prime choice for Nikon F Mount users seeking to capture expansive 180-degree diagonal views. This ultra-wide-angle lens offers a distinct fisheye distortion that adds a dynamic perspective to architectural interiors, sweeping landscapes, and creative compositions in various photographic scenarios.
With a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and provides a degree of control over depth of field, allowing for selective focus and bokeh effects. The advanced optical construction of the lens features 12 elements in 8 groups, including three low dispersion ED glass elements and two aspherical elements. These specialized components work in harmony to minimize coma, chromatic aberrations, and ensure edge-to-edge sharpness, as noted by satisfied users.
The lens is further enhanced by a nanocrystal anti-reflection (NCS) coating, coupled with ultra multi-coating (UMC) treatments. These coatings significantly improve light transmission, reduce lens flare, and suppress ghosting, ensuring that your images are clear and vibrant.
Despite being a manual focus lens, the inclusion of an AE chip provides the convenience of focus confirmation in the camera's viewfinder. This integration also facilitates the use of Auto exposure mode and P/A/S/M modes, streamlining your shooting process. The internal focus system maintains the lens' compact profile and prevents the front element from extending during focusing, preserving the lens' balance and handling.
The lens boasts a wide, rubberized focus ring that allows for precise, one-finger manual focusing, as highlighted by user feedback. The focus ring's smooth operation is complemented by clearly marked aperture, distance, and depth of field scales on the durable metal barrel, aiding in quick and accurate adjustments.
Designed for full-frame cameras, this 12mm lens also offers an 18mm equivalent focal length when mounted on APS-C format cameras, making it versatile for different sensor sizes. The removable petal-shaped lens hood included with the lens not only enhances its aesthetic but also provides additional protection and reduces unwanted light from entering the lens.
Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiast looking to explore the unique effects of fisheye photography, the Rokinon 12mm F2.8 Fisheye Lens is a stellar addition to your gear, promising sharp, color-accurate images with a creative twist.
