Lens Review: Samyang 12mm F2.0 NCS CS
The Samyang 12mm F2.0 NCS CS is a manual focus wide-angle prime lens designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras, offering an 18mm equivalent focal length (19mm on Canon EF-M) and a broad 98.9° angle of view. Its fast f/2.0 maximum aperture is beneficial for low-light conditions and achieving shallow depth-of-field effects. The optical design includes two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements to minimize aberrations and enhance image clarity. The lens features a compact, lightweight aluminum alloy body, making it ideal for travel and outdoor photography.
