Manufacturer description
The ARTRA LAB 12mm F2.0 lens is a high-quality camera lens suitable for a wide range of photography applications. The lens offers zero distortion, a super-wide angle, and a large aperture, making it ideal for capturing street scenes, landscapes, and starry skies. The lens is constructed using two aspheric lenses, two low dispersion lenses, and three high refractive index lenses. It is currently the smallest 12mm lens with the largest aperture in the APS format. The lens is widely used for architecture, tourism, interior decoration, environmental portraits, and fashion photography. The dedicated adapter supports CPL, ND, and other optical filters, providing a wider range of creative possibilities.
From the editor
A rebadged Pergear 12/2 HD FMC with the same optical formula and a cosmetic update to the lens barrel. The Artra Lab website states that the optical formula consists of 12 (twelve) elements. Actually, it doesn't; for explanation, please see the page dedicated to the Meike 12/2 Multi Coated lens.
