Samyang has a new 12mm f2.8 ED AS NCS fisheye lens and it’s the company’s widest piece of glass made for full frame cameras. The lens captures a diagonal angle of view of 180-degrees letting photographers really capture the entire scene, landscape, building, or anything that might be in front of them.
Although the lens is entire manual as with most of Samyang’s lenses, the Korean lens maker has not skimped on the glass. The 12mm f2.8 is comprised of 12 elements arranged in eight groups. This includes three low dispersion ED glass and two aspherical lens elements. The lens has also been finished with a variety of coatings including a nanocrystal anti-reflection NCS coating applied together with standard UMC coatings.
Samyang claims its new lens will work in diverse lighting conditions, and provide great focus, high contrast and natural color reproduction even with the fully open. The price and release date for the 12mm f2.8 ED AS NCS fisheye has yet to be revealed, but you can get another look at the lens and some image samples after the break.
