Properly, it’s not a lot of a shock, actually. The teaser picture posted final week by Samyang for his or her first autofocus Fujifilm X mount lens with a silhouette that regarded shockingly just like the Samyang 12mm f/2 E for Sony has turned out to be… Look forward to it… the Samyang 12mm f/2 X for Fuji.
Introduced right now, the Samyang AF 12mm f/2 X is, as talked about, Samyang’s first autofocus lens for Fuji X. So, it is smart for them to go along with one which they know already works on different programs reasonably than go for one thing fully new.
The options are primarily the identical because the Sony E mount model of the lens launched in April, however with a few very slight variations. The minimal focus distance is 1cm longer and it weighs 1g much less. But it surely has the identical optical components, dimensions, filter thread and climate sealing. So I’d anticipate it to supply precisely the identical outcomes on Fuji that it does on Sony.

when the Sony lens was launched, it appeared to be marketed closely in direction of astrophotography, however Samyang appears to have taken a step again from that method this time round, advertising it as a panorama lens, as an alternative. I anticipate it’ll do each simply in addition to the Sony model did, and supplies climate sealing and protecting glass to guard itself from gentle rain, snow and dirt.
The extensive aperture and quick minimal focus distance additionally imply that the Samyang AF 12mm f/2 ought to really feel equally at residence indoors, too, particularly once you wish to shoot extensive in small interiors and seize as a lot as attainable. In fact, you’re going to see the entire common perspective distortion you get with a focal size this quick (you’ll be able to’t defy physics), however typically that’s a glance you need!
The Samyang AF 12mm f/2 X will launch within the UK with a advised retail value of £402 together with VAT and is anticipated to begin delivery in November. I haven’t seen it pop up for pre-order within the US but, though the UK value is round 10% greater than the Sony model, so we’d see an analogous value improve within the US as soon as it turns into obtainable. We’ll replace this submit once we can affirm a US value.e
