Review on πŸ“Έ Rokinon RK12M-M 12mm F2.0 NCS CS Ultra Wide Angle Fixed Lens for Canon EF-M Mount Compact System Cameras - Black by Joseph Morris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5/5 Considering the price

This lens offers good value for money. I've attached a real estate video that I filmed on it. As well as a few test shots that play with the depth of field. I use this on CANON M50. In general, I'm not very experienced. Captures sharp images/videos like any decent prime lens. The f/2 aperture offers a decent depth of field, but due to the 12mm focal length, it focuses on a very wide area, so you have to get pretty close. to achieve the desired effect. This is manual focus. This has caused some issues with the light but helps keep it accessible. As there is no motor connected to the focus adjustment, little force is required to shift the focus. If you try to create the effect of changing the depth of field during video recording, you will noticeably shift the image. It comes with a lens hood and a nice case, which is a nice touch. Sure, there are better lenses out there, but this lens is perfect when you need a wide angle on your mirrorless camera. Due to the crop factor of EF-M cameras, you won't get the fisheye effect you get with 12mm full frame. The price is also unbeatable. what a nice touch.
