Walimex pro 12mm F2.0 CSC Black Sony E-Mount lens

12mm wide angle lens for cameras with Sony E
high lens speed of 1:2.0, excellent imaging quality due to the high-quality optical design, nano coating to achieve extremely low reflection
12 multi-coated glass lenses, two of these aspherical and one ED-lens
Near focussing limit: 20 cm, ideal for landscape, architecture, arts and nude photography
includes: 1x Walimex Pro 12/2.0 lens for Sony E incl. protection cap and lens pouch, black

Ideal for landscape, architecture, arts and nude photography
Due to its large picture angle, the walimex pro 12/2.0 APS with its focal length of 12 mm is particularly suitable for expressive landscape, architecture, arts and nude photography. The high lens speed enables a very good exposure time for optimal photos, even under unfavourable light conditions. With manual focussing and aperture setting. The near focussing limit is approx. 20 cm. Lens for system cameras!

Outstanding image quality because of the multi-coated lens areas and the Nano Coating
In order to achieve an excellent imaging quality, great importance was attached to an optimal lens design. All of the 12 glass lenses are multi-coated, which prevents reflections so that more light is made available for the image. Moreover, the coating also enhances the contrast and results in a more brilliant colour rendering. The reduction of reflections is also supported by a nano coating. Two of the 12 lenses are aspherical and ensure optimal correction of spherical image defects. In addition to this, one lens is made of ED-glass (extra low dispersion), whereby chromatic aberrations are optimally corrected.

Small, light and compact
The wide angle lens is intended for system cameras and impresses with its extremely low weight and the compact design. This all is combined with a very robust metal housing. Available in black and silver.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
