Samyang AF 12mm F2.0 X Lens - Fujifilm X-mount

The Samyang AF 12mm F2 X is a compact and lightweight, ultra-wide-angle, autofocus lens designed for Fujifilm X-Mount mirrorless cameras. It's an ideal choice for landscapes and indoor photography, giving a 35mm equivalent focal length of 18mm. The bright F2.0 maximum aperture delivers sharp results, even in low-light conditions. The optical system uses 5 special lens elements among the total of 12 elements in 10 groups and provides sharp results, even at maximum aperture. Optical aberration is effectively corrected by using three extra-low-dispersion lenses (ED) and two high-refractive lenses (H-ASP and ASP). A special 14-layer Ultra multi-coating (UMC) is used, which effectively suppresses backlight and is assisted by the included lens hood.

Natural colours and a wider angle of view
The AF 12mm F2 X is a lens built with Samyang's advanced AF technology, convenient functions and a new design that is optimised for shooting magnificent landscapes that go beyond the normal viewing angle. Used with the Fujifilm X Series mirrorless cameras, the Samyang AF 12mm F2 X provides a 99.1° ultra-wide field of view. Users can capture wider landscapes, harmoniously blending with the surrounding background.

Excellent resolution in all areas of the image
The AF 12mm F2 X delivers outstanding image quality, so you can capture that starry night in much clearer detail. Incorporating 5 special elements (1 H-ASP, 1 ASP, and 3 ED) plus Ultra-Multi-Coating, it achieves exceptional resolution image quality from the centre to the edges of the frame, even wide-open at its F2.0 maximum aperture. With the advanced optical design, minimum focusing distance is only 20cm, so you can easily capture close-ups and indoor images, with reduced backlight haze.

Bright F2.0 aperture creates impressive background blur and bokeh
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 with light splitting.

Fast and quiet AF performance
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 focusing lens groups. It is especially useful for video shooting, as this lens is suitable for use on a gimbal, in combination with the small and light Fujifilm X series cameras.

Compact size & lightweight design
The AF 12mm F2 X lens is 59.2mm in length and a weighs just 212g. The matte finish and subtle red ring (dependent on viewing angle) give it a modern feel. Usability has been enhanced by not only considering 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.

Close focus
The minimum object distance is a short 20cm, so it can be used to capture a wider range of subjects, in a variety of ways. It makes it easier to take portraits with exaggerated perspective, appetising food on tables and dramatic indoor shots in narrow spaces.
