Samyang

Samyang 12mm f2 NCS CS

This wide-angle lens is a favorite among astrophotographers due to its wide field-of-view and fast f2 aperture, which allows for shorter exposure times and lower ISO settings when shooting the night sky. It's also an excellent lens for landscape, architecture, and interior photography, particularly in low-light situations. The NCS (Nano Coating System) helps improve light transmission and reduces flare and ghosting, resulting in cleaner images with more contrast.
