The feature set and overall performance of this fast and rugged lens are unmatched by any in its class. At 7.51 oz in weight, and 2.33” in length, this compact and lightweight autofocusing lens offers the best combination of value and performance than ever before. What’s more, it provides a rectilinear 99.1°angle of view, and with the added protection of weather sealing, and a Rear Protector Glass, it allows for lots more versatility. Utilizing the newest Linear Stepping Motor technology, the ROKINON 12mm F2.0 AF lens combines a more compact design with improved auto-focus performance. By requiring the movement of only a single focusing group, it delivers especially fast, quiet, and precise focusing, whether shooting stills or videos. The design also allows for close focusing to 7.48” with no change in length or front element rotation. With a bright F2.0 aperture, faster shutter speeds can be achieved for superior astrophotography and low light results. Furthermore, the F2.0 aperture can help create an impressive sense of depth to your daytime images by effectively separating the subject from a pleasing, de-focused background. The optical construction is comprised of twelve elements in ten groups with a new and further advanced version of Ultra Multi Coating (UMC). Besides controling flare and ghosting, this improved UMC maximizes light transmission, contrast and color accuracy. Thanks to five specialized lens elements (1 Aspherical, 3 Extra-low Dispersion, and 1 Hybrid-Aspherical) aberrations and distortion are minimized to produce sharp, thoroughly corrected imagery. The ROKINON 12mm F2.0 AF incorporates a new elegant look with a matte black finish and comfortable micro pattern rubber focusing ring over a durable all-metal housing. And, with its dramatically wide angle of view, this ROKINON exciting and attractively priced high-performance model is the lens of choice for landscape, night sky, architecture and interior shooting.

1. Great wide angle lens for vlogging yourself etc…2. Auto does work but it’s kinda slow3. Light weight, good price, you get what you pay for4. The sunshade lowkey falls off sometimes doesn’t seem too secure

A really exceptional budget priced ultra wide angle lens. Rokinon lenses and Samyang lenses are the same. Samyang is both the manufacturer and the brand name used outside the US market. Great corner to corner sharpness stopped down on an APS-C Sony a6400. Quite good wide open. For those complaining about auto focus speed or focus hunting, you have to remember that the wider a lens is the greater its natural depth of field. So in a very wide angle lens the difference between one focal plane and the next gets thinner and thinner from the sensor perspective. So finding the focus point becomes harder and harder. Also, I think some of the complaints are from people trying to use this lens for video, not photography. In any case, for photography subjects the lens is superb. Put me down as a very satisfied buyer.

My box was taped closed. No lens cap. No case. Discounted price so I’m not too mad but the listing said these would be in the box

Impressed thus far. No major issues have been found yet. Sharp images from the center to the edge. Autofocus is reasonably good. Much smaller lens than the Sony branded e-mount lens. Great little lens at a good price. I will be watching this company in the future. I expect good things to come. Recommended

i was very excited about this lens, but I hit reality. I opened the box, put the lens on my a6400, when I was about to try it outside, the lens stopped working, it wouldn't focus at all. then I tried with my other camera a6600 and it wouldn't focus at all.

Sometimes this lens misses your face when flogging and will stay that way for extended periods of times. Its very light compact and well build otherwise. even at 370 dollars I still cannot recommend. They need to work on the auto focus issue!

Todo parecia estar perfecto, calidad buena para el precio, tanto en construccion como calidad de imagen, pero fallo en lo que mas importabaEl autoenfoque funciona, y enfoca lo que debe, pero tiene un problema fatal, en video el motor no deja de trabajar, como si tratara de enfocar algo mas cuando ya consiguió el mejor enfoque posible en el objeto principal. Esto ocasiona ruidos que son captados por el micro de la camara y no solo eso, lo mas molesto es que en los bordes del video se ve un leve movimiento, como si alguien hiciera zoom in y zoom out muy rapido, lo cual es demasiado molesto. Consegui arreglar esto enfocando manualmente el lente, pero ese es exactamente el problemaLa idea estaba perfecta, y yo estaba muy emocionado por este lente, pero falló en lo unico que lo diferenciaba de su hermano menor, el 12mm manual, porque si para resolver esto debo usarlo de forma manual, para que comprar la version af?Puede ser que la mia sea una unidad defectuosa, pero he visto otras personas con el mismo problema, pero tambien he visto muchos que no han tenido este problema. Lamentablemente a mi ya se me paso la fecha de devolucion y creo que Rokinon no aplica garantias en Mexico.Si vas a comprar un lente ultra wide y te importa el autoenfoque, te pido que veas a otras marcas, este lente simplemente es una apuesta a que te toque un error como el mio o no, o simplemente sacrifica un poco de distancia focal y ve con el 16mm de Sigma, cosa que debi hacer yo desde el inicio

Me llegó un poco antes y muy bien empaquetado.El lente en general es muy bueno, la calidad de imagen, la apertura.el único pero que le pongo es un poco la calidad del material, es plástico, puede sentirse un tanto frágil.En todo lo demás bien, lo recomiendo

Photograph for fun, so I want the equipment for reasonable price. Got this for landscape and Astrophotography with Autofocus (and sealed). Struggle with focus (I’m in good company there) but that’s on me and not the lens. Quality lens that opens up a new world to fun experiences!

I really wanted to love this lens but it misses focus quite often compared to other lenses. When I'm vlogging sometimes the focus on my face would be defocused for long periods of time. I love everything else about it though. Compact size and really good in low light. I'll be happy to pick this lens up again if they can fix the focus error.
