Not sure where to post this, my images are 1200px wide so I'm posting here. Hope it's ok.

Anyway, I just got the new Samyang 12mm/2.0 lens for E-mount. It's a manual focus UWA lens designed specifically for mirrorless cameras (Sony, Fuji). I don't do testing and reviews and that type of thing so I won't say anything about image quality other than for what it is (small, compact, lightweight and relatively inexpensive), it is adequate if not spectacular.

Here are some of my first shots with the lens (NEX-6, mostly beteween f/8 and f/11 from a tripod, shot in raw, normal conversion, minor cropping in some photos, no special postprocessing). I have no previous experience with very wide lenses so I still have a lot to learn. The wider the lens, the more difficult it is to control.
