Creative performance

The 12mm perspective opens up a wide range of visual possibilities, making it especially appealing for scenery, interiors, cityscapes, and astrophotography. The shallow depth of field can help separate your subject from the background, while the seven-blade diaphragm contributes to attractive starburst highlights.

Thanks to its minimum focusing distance of 0.2 m, you can get closer to your subject and create more dramatic compositions with strong foreground detail and a sense of depth.

Designed for Canon APS-C users

Weighing only 213 grams and measuring just 57.2 mm in length, the lens is easy to carry and well suited to compact Canon APS-C setups. Its sleek matte finish and red accent ring give it a refined, modern look that matches the performance inside.

An AF/MF switch on the barrel makes it easy to change focusing mode quickly, giving you more flexibility while shooting.
