Samyang 12mm F/2.8 ED AS NCS Fisheye Lens
For Micro Four-Thirds Mount

Lens Description

The Samyang 12mm F/2.8 ED AS NCS Fisheye is an ultra-wide prime designed for cameras with a Four-Thirds (2X) sensor. This bright prime has a 12mm focal-length. It provides the same field of view as a 24mm lens on a Full-Frame camera.

This prime can focus down to 20cm from the imaging plane. The lens is not capable of autofocus and so the focus-distance must always be manually adjusted via the focus-ring.

This version has a Micro Four-Thirds lens mount. Follow this link for all current compatible digital cameras: Micro Four-Thirds mount cameras. Samyang also made this lens available for Canon EF, Canon M, Fujifilm X, Nikon F, Pentax K, Sony A, Sony E mounts.
