## Description

The Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Wide Angle Lens for Sony E is a high-performance, manual-focus prime lens designed for mirrorless APS-C cameras. With a full-frame equivalent focal length of 18mm, it’s ideal for landscape, interior, and architectural photography. Its fast f/2.0 aperture allows for bright, detailed image capture in low-light conditions without the need for external lighting. From tight indoor spaces to dusk cityscapes, it performs reliably in challenging environments. The optical design includes 12 elements in 10 groups, featuring three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) and two aspherical elements (1 ASP, 1 hybrid ASP) to reduce chromatic aberration and distortion, delivering sharp, color-accurate results across the frame. Rokinon's Nano Coating System enhances light transmission while reducing ghosting and flare, improving contrast and color fidelity—especially in bright or backlit settings. Despite its advanced optics, the lens is compact and lightweight, measuring just over 2.3 inches and weighing around 8.6 ounces. Its long, smooth manual focus ring provides precision control for accurate focusing, whether capturing wide landscapes or close-up compositions. Compatible with Sony E-mount APS-C cameras, it offers a sweeping 98.9° angle of view—perfect for capturing expansive scenes. A close minimum focusing distance of 7.87 inches (0.2m) also enables creative wide-angle close-ups. Included is a removable petal-shaped lens hood to help minimize flare and protect the front element. The 67mm front filter thread supports a wide range of filters for greater shooting versatility.

Review: Great Value Lens - Pro's: + It does have a solid construction + It is easy to adjust + You will not knock this out of focus or F stop by holding the lens to capture a shot + The sun cover does help + It has a great depth of field + Great for video at 4k when the camera crops (M50) + Sharp details + The construction and mechanics never got loose after almost 1 year of use + Great for real estate photography Cons: It can suffer from chromatic aberration if left wide open and you are taking shots of a tree with a strong source of light breaking through (Fix is to bump the F stop to 4 - 8 depending on the situation, and bring the ISO to 200-400 if you truly need to) - It is slightly larger than the Canon options - It does not have autofocus Tips: Make sure to use edge detect and other focus tools are enabled to make sure you are in focus + Get Filters to help with tricky shots + Keep focus in infinite and bring slowly into focus to walk it back towards your subject if shooting between 3-11 feet
Review: Surprisingly great, wish I'd purchased the Cine - I love this lens! I got this for use with my a6000 and it doesn't disappoint. It's about 18mm f/2 equivalent and it's actually pretty nice wide open - which isn't an easy task. It's small, light and produces great images considering the price. Images need some correction in post if you need straightness throughout, but big whoop. Look forward to finally taking a true wide to Africa this summer. The locking fit isn't perfect on the Sony E mount (tad bit of play). The focus ring is smooth, but a little tight. Having recently purchased the Rokinon 135mm f/2 Cine DS, I wish I had done the same with this one, though the price would have been slightly higher. The focus ring is a bit smoother, but the 0.8mm pitch of the teeth on the Cine make for easier gripping and if I do want to use it with follow focus later, it would be easier. If you like a grippier focus ring (this is not rubber coated, rather plastic), you might want to consider the Cine as well, though the aperture ring can be shifted MUCH easier accidentally on the Cine. Pros: - Wide - Fast - Sharp (even wide IMO at the price) - Very good lens hood and locks well into place, both ways - Excellent value Cons: - MF only (duh) - Focus ring is snug and not grippy - No electronic chip, so the aperture value doesn't report to the EXIF data, so use the cell phone app/note pad if that's important to you - Mount doesn't lock quite as securely as a native lens, leaving a slight bit of play so when you focus, the lens moves with it ever so slightly If you have an APS-C E-mount camera and can't afford the 10-15mm f/4 Sony, this is a great option. The Sony has AF, OSS, is wider and can give you some reach, but is almost triple the cost and a stop slower. Up to you. Some random samples below. The two of the dogs are around f/4 I think (again, no EXIF data) and the scapes in the 11+ range I think. NOTE: The two underexposed sun star images were loaded to help a buyer who asked. They were NOT taken with the Sony mount version of this lens like the other images I posted. The sun stars were taken with the CINE version for the Fuji X system and I've yet to add a review of that lens for that mount. Cheers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great micro 4/3 option
*by B***N on February 3, 2018*

I was looking for a manual focus fast wide angle lens for night photography and this is a great option if you can’t justify buying a $1k+ first party zoom. I shoot with an Olympus omd m4/3 camera so I’m somewhat limited on the kind of low light photography I can do. That said I’ve been very impressed with this lens at night, especially for the price point. Shooting with a micro 4/3 camera, if you have some moonlight, you can get away with f2.8, iso800, around a 10 sec exposure and end up with low grain sharp images. Shooting during daylight, you are fine to set the lens at f8+ and focused almost at infinity and leave it there if you’re wanting quick snaps. The 24mm equivalent field of view means everything in the image should be acceptably sharp without worrying about the focus. You do get a some noticeable vignette wide open but stopping down to f2.8 makes a noticeable difference in what is seen in the image. There is also the issue of flair which I’ve seen some of when shooting into direct light sources. You may just need to work with the camera position until you get it to go away unless flair is what you’re looking for in the image. The images produced by this lens are very sharp, especially at and above f5.6. The focus ring has a good weighted feel. The overall construction of the lens feels solid, its metal and does feel like quality. If you’re a hobbiest looking for a manual focus prime landscape or nightscape lens but don’t want to break the bank, this is a fantastic option.
