Features

What it does, and why that matters

Perspective — 01

Ultra-wide with a constant F2.8

12-24mm equivalent covers dramatic architecture and expansive landscapes, and unlike most ultra-wide zooms it holds a constant F2.8 maximum aperture across the entire range — no light loss when zooming in.

12-24mm equivalent focal length (35mm format)
Constant maximum aperture F2.8, minimum F22
121°-83.2° angle of view

Optics — 02

Six low-dispersion elements for edge sharpness

20 elements in 13 groups, including 3 Super ED and 3 ED elements, control the colour fringing that ultra-wide lenses are prone to, while 4 aspherical elements keep distortion and corner sharpness in check across the frame.

Nano-GI coating to control flare and ghosting
9 rounded diaphragm blades

Handling — 03

Sealed for landscape work in the field

The barrel is sealed at 11 points and rated to operate down to -10°C, with a linear motor for quick, near-silent autofocus — built for the kind of coastal or mountain conditions ultra-wide landscape photography tends to happen in.
