Rokinon 12 mm 1:2.0 NCS CS is another (alongside with Rokinon 10 mm) lens with nanocrystal anti-reflective coating applied. This time, however, the NCS coating covers two lens elements. This type of coating gives smaller reflection factor than (U)MC layers and ideally sits on the lens element's surface due to the very application process. Benefits of using the nanocrystal cover, include: much better light transmission, higher resistance to reflections and higher contrast, which adds to optical resolution of the lens.

Rokinon 12mm 1:2.0 NCS CS is a perfect lens for landscape photography and can be useful in interior and architecture photography or astrophotography.

After you connect it to a camera with APS-C sensor its field of vision will correspond to the small image lens with the focal length of 18 mm. Thanks to this feature combined with the aperture of 2.0, the lens is a perfect addition to non-full frame cameras.
