Description — Rokinon 12mm f/2.0
The Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 is a wide-angle prime lens designed specifically for APS-C mirrorless camera systems. Operating at a fixed 12mm focal length, it delivers a broad wide-angle perspective that works well for landscapes, interiors, and environmental shooting. The bright f/2.0 maximum aperture allows for more light to reach the sensor, giving photographers greater flexibility when working in challenging lighting conditions.
At just 245g, the lens is impressively lightweight, making it easy to carry for extended shoots or travel. A 67mm filter thread provides compatibility with a wide range of standard filters. The lens covers five mirrorless mount systems — Sony E, Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, and Samsung NX — offering strong versatility across different camera brands.
Focus is manual, placing full control in the hands of the photographer. There is no image stabilization built into the lens, so camera technique or in-body stabilization will be important factors when shooting at lower shutter speeds.
