Exceptional focal length with high speed
Expand your world with the Samyang 12mm F2.8 Fisheye lens! On full-frame cameras, the lens delivers a diagonal angle of view of 180° and is therefore perfect for overviews, interiors, confined spaces and also for reportages in such locations. The lens puts the subject in the right light. Thanks to the high speed of F2.8, you have sufficient reserves even under difficult lighting conditions. Thanks to the short focal length and the low magnification, it is characterized by a very large depth of field. Let your creativity run wild!
High-quality optics
Thanks to the UMC multi-coating used on all lenses and the use of two aspherical lenses (ASP), ghost images and reflections are effectively reduced. The three built-in ED lenses ensure sharp and high-contrast images, even with an open aperture. Color fringing is also a thing of the past. The 7 aperture blades, which are almost circular when the aperture is closed, provide a clear and beautiful star-shaped beam of light. The high-quality aluminum barrel, the close focusing distance of approx. 20 centimeters and the supplied, removable lens hood round off the excellent overall package of this lens. The Samyang 12mm F2.8 Fisheye lens will therefore become your creative companion.
The special look of fisheye lenses
In contrast to regular lenses, a fisheye lens does not produce distortion-free images, but instead distorts the images strongly in a barrel shape. The center of the image appears to bulge towards the viewer. The advantage of this type of lens is that extreme wide angles, even beyond 180°, can be imaged. Fisheye lenses are suitable for artistic photography and for extreme wide angles. Images can be corrected using various software, but the results are usually of poor image quality. With fisheye lenses, it is important to check whether their image circle completely covers the sensor or whether they cast a circular but complete image on it.
Advantages of a full-frame lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor (or smaller)
Save time in post-processing: A large number of lens errors such as distortion, edge blur or vignetting occur on the outer areas of the image. If you use a lens calculated for full format on a camera with an APS-C sensor, these areas are not used at all. This ensures maximum quality. Additional post-processing time to correct lens errors is therefore not required.
