Das 12 mm für Sony-KB-Sensoren kostet "nur" 880 Euro hat ebenfalls keinen AF und Lichtstärke 5,6. Erneut liefert die Bildmitte bei 5,6 ein sehr gutes Ergebnis und der Randabfall ist außergewöhnlich hoch. Bei Blende 11 ist der Rand besser, aber nicht gut, und die Mitte nun schlechter aufgelöst. Gegenüber dem 10er ist die Verzeichnung kein Problem, doch für eine Empfehlung reicht es deutlich nicht.
