Review on MK 12Mm T2 2 Distortion MFT Panasonic by Sandy Pierce

Having found 16mm and 25mm T2.2 cinema lenses with excellent value for money, I was excited to try the 12mm lens as my interest in video recording is more aimed at travel and landscape photography (wide angle). 12mm is worth the wait - combined with my BMPCC 4K or ZCam E2 4K - the captured image is pristine. While any manual-focus cine lens must use focus-assist technology (focus peaking) to be accurate during capture, a few extra seconds to check focus always pays off visually. For the average videographer, an autofocus lens (like the Panasonic F 2.8, 12-35mm) is best. The 12mm T2.2 is heavier than the 16mm T2.2 (652g vs 615g) and its extra glass is reflected in a slightly higher price – still a steal for a cinema lens of this optical quality. I'm sure YouTubers will provide more detailed reviews in the near future but I suspect they will all end up with the same conclusion, it deserves the 5 stars I gave it. Highly recommended
