Top Rated Gear: Used Samyang 12mm F2.0 NCS CS Ultra Wide, Manual Focus Lens for Olympus & Panasonic Micro 4/3 Cameras, Black E MFR: SY12M-MFT-BK.

Samyang SY12M-MFT-BK 12mm F2.0 NCS CS Ultra Wide Angle Black Lens for Olympus & Panasonic Micro 4/3 Cameras. It is a extra-wide-angle manual focus lens designed for APS-C crop sensor mirrorless cameras. With low distortion and wide angle, photographers who want wide-angle photos such as landscape and architectural images can create satisfactory images. F2.0 is very bright so it captures clear and vivid images even under relatively dark environment. For the first time in Samyang Optics history, the independent NCS(Nano Coating System) technology was used. It creates even lower reflection rate than the original UMC (Ultra Multi Coating) and higher contrast. Also, the light penetration rate is very high to minimize flare and ghost. Optical construction of Samyang 12mm F2.0 NCS CS features 12 lenses in 10 groups - among lenses, there are 1 glass aspherical lens(AS), 1 hybrid aspherical lens (H-ASP) and 1 low-dispersion lens (ED) to provide high image quality. H-ASP minimizes color aberration to realize exceptional image quality and high contrast for center and corner of image even when aperture is fully opened. ED lowers unnecessary light dispersion to drop color aberration effectively. With such optical construction, it has 0.2m of minimum focal length.There are 6 aperture blades designed to be almost as a full circle when aperture is closed which expresses starlike ray clearly and beautifully in deep depth of field images. The frame of Samyang 12mm F2.0 NCS CS is compact and solid since it is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. Trustworthy images can be captured even under inferior environment. Also, petal-shaped lens hood to shelter lens from unnecessary light is provided.

What a great lens.....love shooting with it for landscape photography.....sharp pics, low distortion....used it in Yellowstone and Shawnee National Forest at the end of last year and was very happy with the results. Solid construction, on the heavy side which is a good thing.

Solid construction and sharp photos.

This lens is a great buy with a great price. Images are clear with great depth, little or no vignetting or aberration. Focuses easily. Highly recommended.

Great little lens, great price.

Solid performance in landscape uses. Looking forward to trying some astrophotography soon.

Awesome lens

I am shocked how much I like this lens. Or, I guess, it's more that it's met my high expectations and I didn't think it would for the price. I'm selling my Sony 10-18 f4 and just using this. It's an order of magnitude sharper, and while not quite as wide, with the combination of another lens that's a fish eye, I won't miss the 10-18. Yes, you have to know your gear because it's manual, but I have found it very easy to use, not finicky at all. I have another manual lens that is far trickier. The focus distances are very accurate. I typically shoot landscape and portrait on a tripod, and lots of night shooting.

Very sharp, regardless of how low the price, great budget alternative to Sony 10-18 f4

An inexpensive addition to give a wide angle option. This a manual lens but it is easy to get great pictures with.

Add a wide angle lens to your kit without breaking your budget

Absolutely an amazing lens and I am very glad to have purchased it from Adorama the service is exceptional and the pricing is awesome.

Highly recommended lens highly recommended retailerHighly recommended lens highly recommended retailer

nice little lens. Very sharp and good for astro work.

nice little lens

Ample Equipment

This lens is better than I expected. There!s little to no lens distortion like I’ve seen with other UWA lenses. The construction is solid with a mix of plastic and metal components. There’s even a nice lens bag in the box to help with storage. The aperture ring has a very satisfying click, too. It’s still early, but I’m quite pleased with my purchase.

You get what you pay for (in a good way)!

I like the very wide angle. As most photographers know, 12mm on my Sony A6500 (APSC-Sensor) is like 18mm on full frame, or with other words, to achieve the same wide-angle effect as an 18mm lens of full-frame cameras, I need to use a wider (12mm) lens on my camera with a smaller sensor. So the 12mm is my widest lens for my setup.
That said, it seems to have very good optical quality and on wide angle, and I actually prefer manual focus, ity seems to go quicker to set it on the one target within the wide field of view. At the same time I control depth of field right on the lens as well (like in the olden days) by changing aperture. quick and easy!

Works well, and I love manual adjustments on wide angle lenses

Amazingly sharp with minimal distortion, even wide open. Speaking of which f2.0 for the maximum aperture is a true bonus.

Tight, well built and sharp ultra-wide for APS cameras.

Underrated for price. Great Bang for buck even without autofocus.

Great Functionality

It's a nice lens that's definitely worth the price. I'm still exploring what it can do. Make sure you use magnify to test out exactly where your infinity focus is on the dial.

Perfect for the price

Awesome lense, great for astrophotography or real-estate

Great price

good lens, not the best, not worst, does the job

it is very very functional, what more can you say ?

I have been using the Rokinon/Samyang 12MM F2.0 for Fuji for about a month and I love. The optics are outstanding and the lens focuses at a very short distance. Given that it is a wide angle, the manual focus is not a problem. The lens feels solid and very well made. However, I should say that this is my second Rokinon/Samyang 12MM lens. The first was defective, so be careful.

Solid Ultra Wide Angle Lens

I bought this lens for astrophotography, have yet to use since I'm waiting for the right time of the month to go, but have really enjoyed using it for other things. Being a manual lens has actually brought some of the fun back to taking pictures in everyday situations.

Great Lens

Sharp and fast and pretty

After extensive testing, optics not as good as I had hoped. Infinity mark on lens is not useful.

Samyang 12mm

The image quality is good. Sturdy. Infinity takes some time to find but once you find it not bad.

Affordable and good image

The reviews about this lens don’t lie. This is a beautiful lens that performs great! I’m using it mostly for RE photography so the manual focus isn’t much of an issue here. I mostly leave it at the same spot and we’re good to go. There is a bit more chromatic aberration when using this lens but that’s a super easy fix in LR. If you’re in need of a wide angle, highly recommend considering this one.

Love it!

Absolutely amazed with how good it is!  Images are quite clear, even when a small portion is enlarged.  I confess I’d have still been happy with it at twice the price (don’t tell Samyang).

Surprisingly Good Little Lens

For this price you can't beat this lens.  It does all I need it to.  Like all ultra wide angle lenses it has some softness around the edges, but otherwise it performs quite well.  The focus ring has a little resistance, which I appreciate.  It also accepts standard 67mm filters without noticeable vignetting (i.e., I could use an old filter I had rather than having to purchase a slim filter).

Excellent lens and great value

Got the item quick, did not test it yet though

Accurate

Great wide angle lens for the price.  Manual focus but this type of lens will be used for things you can take your time on so it’s not a hindrance.

Great for Interiors, outdoors, and Astrophotgraphy

A nice little lens and the price is certainly right. It’s fast, solidly build, has nice image quality, and I like the throw. The hood, on the other hand, just sucks.

great value for a niche lens

I love this lens! I bought it for real estate photography and I love it! My Panasonic Lumix G7 doesn't register it, but allows me to "shoot without a lens" and it works perfectly with this lens attached.

Perfect for Panasonic Lumix G7

Bought this lens for astrophotography but now I am using it for everything!  Totally recommended.  Beware is fully manual but I really like this being grown up with old Nikons and Leicas this is like going back to he good old manual times.

Great sharp an inexpensive lens.  Becoming my favorite.

Very sharp with good colors. Only complaint is that chromatic aborration can be significant in some circumstances.
