- One of my favourite lenses for APS-C mirrorless cameras was always the classy little manual focus Samyang 12mm f/2 NCS CS (my review: • Samyang 12mm f/2 NCS C... ). Today Samyang are announcing the launch of a new autofocus version of the lens with improved coatings - let's see what it can do.

Love the manual version, so excited to get my hands on the AF version. Your videos are absolutely superb. I don't even look anywhere else for my lens reviews. Whatever you say, I go with. Cheers!
Finally... AF ultra-wide prime lens for E mount APS-C cameras is now available.. Say goodbye to overpriced sel1018 and zeiss touit 12mm
i wish they released this for fujifilm as well. I have the manual focus version and like it a lot.
Excellent, thanks. I'm very excited about this lens. I love how small Sony's APS system is, perfect for travel.
That 220g weight is really tempting. I only shoot wide when the scene absolutely calls for it; so a light and portable prime like this means there’s a higher chance I’ll be bringing it together for that occasional shot.
The fact that they added weather sealing is a great plus in my book.
Samyang are killing it with affordable light weight and still sharp lenses. I hope they bring some to Nikon Z.
Samyang, please send the 24mm f/1.8 to Chirst, ASAP!
Hi, all of your lens reviews are by far the best on UA-cam !
Finally a super wide angle for sony apsc with reliable autofocus and sharp f2.0 aperture 👍we should thank mr. Christopher and samyang to possible this review !
WE WANT Samyang AF 12mm VS SIGMA 16mm !!!
I've enjoyed the older manual version on my M3/M6... if they put out the AF version for EF-M, I'll certainly have to consider it.
I have pre-ordered the lens, can't wait to pair it with my a6400 + feiyu G6 max. For light Vlog set up this might be the best combination 🥰
That original 12 was magic on apcs.
Now that Fuji has opened up their API, please let's hope more manufacturers including Samyang will be releasing AF lenses for Fuji!
As an owner of the sanyang XP 1.2 primes, I would absolutely love it if they decided to give those primes the same treatment.
Nice and simple review, as always !
You should have made video teat because this lens could be good replacement for canon wide zooms
That's a really nice lens for sure. Well done Samyang!!!
I sold my DSLR and got a mirrorless mainly just to use this lens (MF version), very impressed with the optics and it's been my most-used lens since. Hoping they release the AF version for Canon EF-M.
