Rokinon 12mm f/2.8 ED AS IF NCS UMC Fisheye Lens for Sony E Mount

The Rokinon 12mm f/2.8 ED AS IF NCS UMC Fisheye Lens, designed for Sony E Mount cameras, offers a 180 diagonal field of view on full-frame models, delivering an ultra-wide angle and a distinctive distorted perspective. This feature is particularly advantageous for capturing architectural interiors, expansive landscapes, and for engaging in creative photographic experimentation across various applications. The lens’s f/2.8 maximum aperture performs well in low-light conditions and allows for a degree of shallow depth of field control.

This lens boasts a sophisticated optical configuration comprising 12 elements organized into 8 groups, which includes three low dispersion ED glass elements and two aspherical elements aimed at minimizing coma and chromatic aberrations. The application of advanced nanocrystal anti-reflection (NCS) coating, in conjunction with UMC coatings, enhances light transmission and mitigates ghosting effects. Additionally, its internal focusing mechanism contributes to a compact design, preventing the front element from extending during focusing.

This lens features manual focus and manual aperture controls, providing a wide focus ring that is easy to grip, along with clear markings for aperture, distance, and depth of field. Additionally, it comes with a detachable petal-shaped lens hood.

• An ultra wide-angle fisheye lens with a 12mm focal length on full-frame cameras and an 18mm equivalency when used on APS-C format cameras. Its distorted perspective is useful for interiors, landscapes, group shots and many creative wide-angle applications.
• Extra low dispersion and aspherical lens elements reduce aberrations for sharp, color-accurate imaging.
• Nano crystal coating and ultra multi-coating on the lens elements improves light transmission and reduces ghosting and flare.
• Manual focus lens with an internal focus system and wide, rubberized focus ring.
• Manual aperture control with bright markings for aperture, distance and depth of field.
• Sturdy metal barrel with removable petal-shaped lens hood.
