Samyang 12mm f/2.0 Overview

The black 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens for Fujifilm X-Mount from Samyang is a wide-angle prime lens designed specifically for use with APS-C format image sensors. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 18mm and a broad 98.9° angle of view, this lens is well-suited for architectural, interior, and landscape images. Its fast f/2.0 maximum aperture is beneficial to working in low-light conditions.

One aspherical element, one hybrid aspherical element and three elements made of low dispersion glass have been incorporated into the optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion for sharper, high contrast imaging throughout the frame. Additionally, a Nano Coating System (NCS) has been applied to the lens elements in order to reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting. A six-blade aperture closes to create a near full circle and the lenses minimum focus distance is 7.9".  The lens barrel is built with aluminum alloy with a 67mm diameter filter thread and includes a removable petal-style lens hood.

Wide-angle prime lens provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 18mm for comprehensive wide-angle applications including architectural and landscape photography.
Fast f/2.0 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions.
Three extra-low dispersion elements, one hybrid aspherical element and an aspherical element reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions in order to produce sharper images from the center to the corner of the image frame.
Nano Coating System improves light transmission and suppresses lens flare and ghosting for more contrast-rich, color-neutral images.
Durable aluminum alloy build and included removable petal-style lens hood.

Great lens for the money!

I bought an ultra wide Samyang lens for my Canon camera, and because I loved the price - I decided to purchase this one for my Sony crop camera. I specifically love it for night photography and hope to capture the Northern Lights in Fairbanks next Fall! I love the size and weight of this lens!

Very Good but all manual

I use it with a Fujifilm X-T3. A little bit of vignetting, reduced at f/2.8 and gone at f/4.0. Pretty sharp, even in the corners. Light weight for a 12/2.0. I wish it had a chip to communicate the aperture and the focal for the EXIF file generated by the camera. A position 'Auto' for the aperture would be also nice.

Does anyone know of a filter holder that doesn't cause vignetting on this superwide lens?
Asked by: John
Using a thinner screw in filter like the B+W XS-Pro series to prevent vignetting. Using a filter holder with an adapter can be a hit or miss situation.

Why isnt my lens working with my Fujifilm X-T3? I can see image but it wont record or make pictures. Why is that?
Asked by: Eurico
This lens does not have electronic contacts , your camera thinks there is no lens and it does not allow you to take photos or video . In the menu you would would have to enable the camera to shut without a lens .

I am looking for a wide angle lens to be used for video with my Fuji X s10. Since it has only manual focus. Would this lens be suitable for video ? Thanks for help
Asked by: Lam
I have the Samyang 12mm manual focus lens for my X-T30 and it works great. I use it for astrophotography single shot. It has some vignetting but this goes away at F4. I have not used it much for video but it looks fine to me.

Hi, would this lease be compatible with Fujifilm X-T1?
Asked by: Tran
No, it would not. The Samyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens for Micro Four Thirds Mount (Black), B&H # SA122M43B, is designed for use on cameras that use the Micro Four Thirds lens mount. The Samyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens for Fujifilm X-Mount (Black), B&H # SA122FXB, would instead be the correct lens for use on a Fujifilm X-mount lens mount.
