Specification :
The AF 12mm F2 X is a dream lens for shooting magnificent landscapes that go beyond the normal viewing angle, built with Samyang's optical design technology, advanced AF technology, and convenient functions. This 12mm focal length lens provides an ultra-wide-angle of view of 99.1° on the Fujifilm X mirrorless cameras. Now Fujifilm X photographers can create wide-angle landscapes and snapshots with the background landscape by taking advantage of wide angle of view.
You can take outstanding image quality landscapes and cityscapes with decreased optics aberrations thanks to the advanced optical design, incorporating 5 special glasses (1 H-ASP, 1 ASP, and 3 ED). This lens achieves exceptional resolution image quality from the center to the edges of the frame, even at F2 maximum aperture. The backlight haze is effectively decreased due to the 14-layer-special coating even with the small hood.
The AF 12mm F2 X lens has a length of 59.2mm (2.3in) and weighs just 212g (7.5oz), so it's a perfect match to compact Fujifilm X-Series cameras with a gimbal. The matte finish and the subtle red ring (dependent on viewing angle) give it a modern feel. Usability has been enhanced by considering not only the design but also the users’ shooting environment. There is a micro-patterned rubber focus ring, so it feels good to operate and there is also weather sealing and rear protective glass to protect the lens from light rain, snow, and dust.
The AF 12mm F2 X lens uses a large-diameter aperture to provide smooth background blur. It effectively separates the subject and the background using a shallow depth of field to capture a unique image of an ultra-wide-angle in which the background is compressed. The 7-blades produce smooth and natural bokeh and impressive starburst effect.
The minimum focusing distance is 20cm (0.66ft), which is very short, so it can be used to capture much more, in a variety of ways. It makes it easier to take architecture shots in narrow spaces, food on tables, and pet images with exaggerated perspectives. Take a couple of steps closer to your subject and get creative images!
The AF 12mm F2 X tracks the subject accurately and quickly, whilst the AF operates quietly and smoothly in video recording mode. Samyang's Linear STM (Stepping Motor) satisfies both photographers and videographers with quieter and more accurate control of the larger and heavier focusing lens groups. In particular, it is advantageous for video shooting as this lens is suitable for use on a gimbal, in combination with the small and light Fujifilm X series cameras.
