I like the size and weight of this lens and the wide angle is just a little wider than the standard 16-50 kit lens. I would post a photo, but I realise I need to learn to focus properly first!!This is a manual lens, with no electronics, so you will have to remember what Aperture setting you used as it will not be reported in RAW files from the camera.I need to get out and take some more photos, but first impressions are good - apart from the lack of skill focusing!

Just superb optics. So good it rivals my old Minolta full frame lenses. It is as wide angle as you can go before horizontal line distortion sets in, so you get an immersive panoramic picture of superb detail and colour.
@docmathocThe price of the lens is great, the only problem I have is with the black plastic lens hood. It doesn't fit well when taking photos and is always loose until you turn it round to store it. Amazon gave me a small refund for inconvenience.Apart from that, it gives great photos and is real quality.

The Samyang 12mm f2.0 NCS CS superwide lens fills a gap in lenses for APS-C mirrorless cameras. This lens has been designed to perform stunningly with high resolution sensors (above 24m pixels). As with other Samyang lenses, the 12mm provides technical parameters and potential that can easily compete with the best wide-angle prime and zoom lenses available on the market. It has nanocrystal anti-reflective coatings applied. to two lens elements. This type of coating gives smaller reflection factor than (U)MC layers plus other benefits which include: much better light transmission, higher resistance to reflections and higher contrast, which adds to optical resolution of the lens. The Samyang 12mm f2.0 NCS CS is a perfect lens for landscape photography and can be useful in interior and architecture photography or astrophotography.
