Review: Maybe the best deal in ultra wide lenses - I recently purchased the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF Ultra Wide Angle lens for my Sony camera and I am blown away by the results. The build quality of the lens is top-notch and it feels solid in my hands. The autofocus is lightning fast and accurate, and the images are sharp and crisp with vivid colors. I am particularly impressed with the ultra wide angle perspective this lens offers, allowing me to capture stunning landscapes and cityscapes with ease. The F2.0 aperture is also great for low light situations, giving me the flexibility to shoot in a wide range of lighting conditions. Considering the price of this lens, it's an absolute steal. It's difficult to find a lens of this quality and performance at such an affordable price point. Overall, I would highly recommend the Samyang 12mm F2.0 AF Ultra Wide Angle lens to any Sony camera user looking for a fantastic deal on a high-quality wide angle lens.
Review: Man, so close but its totally worth it - I got it for $199 and I have to say, this is one of the best lenses you can get for that price for APS-C, although that seemed to be an exception, I have to admit the image quality is outstanding and will do wonders for real estate work if you don’t have a FF camera. My only gripe is the AF, which I’m grateful to even have it, since it has a bit of hunting even in well lit conditions, so on low light you are better off with Manual Focus Also the image has a natural softness and the lens has an appropriate weight to keep it during travels or a whole shoot without getting tired.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun lens
*by J***E on January 21, 2025*

This lens is actually a lot of fun. It is plastic constructed but the build feels pretty solid. There's no manual focus switch as far as I can tell but autofocus mostly does fine. Bit of a challenge for night photography though (star stacking) but nothing major. The wide angle of this lens really looks crisp and nice in most shots. The auto focus works well, but it sounds a bit crunchy compared to maybe a better quality lens. Still, over all works well and photos look good for the price.
