    12mm · f/2.2

    Overview

    The Samyang 12mm T/2.2 Cine NCS CS is a manual-focus, manual-aperture lens with excellent build quality, featuring a metal mount and solid construction. Optically, it offers good center sharpness but softer corners and noticeable chromatic aberration on high-contrast subjects. Vignetting is present but less than many full-frame primes. The lens is compact and lightweight, ideal for travel and astrophotography, though it lacks electronic contacts, requiring in-camera menu adjustments. It suits budget-conscious photographers needing a fast, wide-angle lens for APS-C or Micro Four Thirds systems, particularly for landscape and astrophotography.
