Samyang 12mm T2.2 Cine NCS CS lens is a wide-angle mirrorless video lens designed for APS-C crop sensors, which I purchased to work with Panasonic GH4.
Length:
57.9mm x 73mm
Weight: 250gExtremely good condition, as it arrived when new. Originally purchased two for a documentary project: this one has remained unused/surplus to requirements. Comes with original box, plastic bag, foam packaging, instructions, lens hood, and soft/quilted carry camera bag/pouch. Packaging was opened, and lens tried on for size, but never got around to using the lens for the intended project: lovely light lens.
Features- Geared Focus and Aperture Rings
- Nano Coating System (provides the best quality image with low reflection rate)
- Decoupled Aperture Ring
- Hybrid Aspherical, Glass Aspherical and ED Lens Elements
Samyang lens shows an exceptional optical performance especially in
light transmission. Optical construction of Samyang 12mm T2.2 Cine NCS
CS lens features 12 lenses in 10 groups – among lenses, there are 1
hybrid aspherical lens(H-ASP), 1 glass aspherical lens(AS) and 3
low-dispersion glass lenses(ED) capturing high quality image. H-ASP
revises the colour aberration to realize exceptional image quality and
contrast throughout centre to corner of image when aperture is fully
opened. ED lowers colour aberration effectively by minimizing the
unnecessary light dispersion. With such optical construction, 0.2m of
the minimum focusing distance is provided.
There are 6
aperture blades designed to be almost as a full circle when aperture is
closed which expresses starlike ray clearly and beautifully. The frame
of the lens is compact and solid since it is made of high-strength
aluminium alloy. Trustworthy images can be captured even under inferior
environment. Also, detachable petal-shaped lens hood minimizes flare and
ghost by sheltering lens from unnecessary lights.
