Perfect for Astrophotography

The Samyang AF 12mm f/2 lens adopts an Autofocus system and a modern design that goes beyond the frame of the existing manual focus 12mm f/2, making this lens even more optimised for astrophotography. 

Exceptional Resolution

The Samyang AF 12mm f/2 lens delivers outstanding image quality, so you can capture the starry night so much clearer than with any smartphone. Incorporating 5 special elements (1 H-ASP, 1 ASP, and 3 ED) plus Ultra Multi-Coating, it achieves exceptional image resolution from the centre to the edges of the frame, even at its F2 maximum aperture. With the advanced optical design, Minimum Focusing Distance is just 19cm, so you can easily capture close-ups and indoor images with reduced backlight haze.

Bright F2.0 Aperture with Impressive Shallow Depth of Field and Bokeh

The Samyang AF 12mm f/2 lens offers a bright F2 aperture which guarantees faster shutter speeds in low light conditions and helps improve astrophotography. Furthermore, during the daytime, the F2 aperture adds depth to your wide-angle images by blurring the background. The subject and background are effectively separated, creating an impressive sense of depth. The large, round bokeh presents calm background blurring and high contrast, to achieve the optimal balance.

Fast and Quiet Auto Focus System

Autofocus is now expected to capture images accurately and quickly, but it also needs to be quiet and smooth. Thanks to the newly researched and developed STM (Stepping Motor), a larger focus-lens group can be controlled more quietly and precisely, providing superb image quality in both photo and video use.

Compact & Lightweight

Weighing just 213g and measuring only 59.2mm in length, this new 12mm strikes the perfect balance of portability and outstanding performance. This lens includes useful design features such as a durable, all-metal housing, an ergonomically designed grip with a micro pattern rubber ring and a new modern design with a 'hidden' red ring. The Samyang AF 12mm f/2 lens features weather-sealing and rear glass protection, to prevent dust, light rain, and snow from penetrating. This allows you to capture stunning images in less than perfect conditions.
