Advanced optical design
The lens design includes 12 elements in 10 groups, 5 of which are special optical elements - 1 H-ASP, 1 ASP and 3 ED. The Elements ensure that chromatic aberration and distortion are minimized, resulting in higher sharpness and image quality. The lens also uses UMC (Ultra Multi Coating) treatment to suppress reflections and shadows, which increases contrast and light transmission.
The ideal tool for travel photography
Its compact size and light weight provide excellent mobility, making it ideal for travel photography, architecture, interiors and landscapes. Thanks to the high optical quality, image sharpness is maintained from the centre to the edges of the image even at the maximum aperture of f/2.0. The lens is also weatherproof thanks to its all-metal tube and weather sealing.

The AF 12mm f/2.0 is a modern version of the popular manual model MF 12mm f/2.0, which has gained popularity especially among astrophotographers. New version adds autofocus, elegant design and equal strengths in image quality. With an 18mm equivalent on a 35mm full-frame sensor, this is a versatile lens with an extremely wide aperture.
