Wide-angle lens for Nikon 1
The Opteka 12mm f/2.8 is a manual-focus prime lens built for Nikon 1 mount CX format cameras. It delivers a 99-degree diagonal angle of view, equivalent to a 32mm focal length on the CX sensor. Photographers who want an ultra-wide perspective without autofocus will find it suited to landscape, architecture and interior work.
All-metal build with 72mm filter thread
The lens uses a lightweight all-metal housing with a ridged focus ring and a click-stop aperture ring that runs from f/2.8 to f/22. A 9-blade diaphragm creates rounded highlights, while HD anti-reflective coating on the 12 elements in 10 groups reduces flare and ghosting. The 72mm front thread accepts standard circular filters and the package includes a soft nylon pouch for storage.
Manual control for precise exposure
This lens replaces the need for electronic aperture linkage by giving the photographer direct mechanical control over focus and iris. At f/5.6 everything from 1.4 feet to infinity stays sharp, which simplifies zone focusing. The jump is worth it for shooters who prefer tactile rings over menu-driven settings and who do not require autofocus or image stabilisation.

Questions about this item
What does the Nikon 1 mount cap at for this 12mm lens?
The Nikon 1 mount uses the CX format, so the 12mm focal length gives a 32mm equivalent field of view.
What physical clearance does the 72 mm filter thread need?
The lens barrel accepts 72 mm filters and the hood threads onto the same 72 mm ring, so allow that diameter plus the hood depth.
How is the aperture ring set, and what step do people miss?
Turn the click-stop aperture ring to the desired f-stop; the depth-of-field scale shows that at f/5.6 everything from 1.4 feet to infinity is sharp.
