Pergear has announced the Pergear 12mm F2 II, an updated ultra-wide lens designed to cater to landscape, architecture, and astrophotography enthusiasts. With a lightweight build and a fast F2 aperture, this lens is tailored for photographers seeking versatility without compromising image quality.
Pergear’s latest offering features an APS-C format, equivalent to an 18mm focal length on full-frame cameras, providing expansive coverage ideal for capturing vast landscapes or detailed architectural shots. Its manual focus system allows precise control, making it a reliable choice for photographers who value creative input in their work.
Optically, the Pergear 12mm F2 II is equipped with 13 elements in 11 groups, including three high refractive index elements and two ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses. This design minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration, ensuring sharp and vibrant images even at the widest apertures. Its 10-blade aperture also creates pleasing bokeh effects, particularly useful for isolating subjects against blurred backgrounds in close-up shots.
Compact and weighing just 230g, the lens is portable and fits seamlessly into a photographer’s kit. Its durable metal construction ensures resilience in various shooting conditions. Additionally, the lens is compatible with Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and MFT mounts, expanding its appeal across multiple systems.
