Review on Samyang SY12M-FX-BK: Superior Ultra Wide Angle Lens for Fujifilm X-Mount Cameras in Classic Black Color by Rudy Santos

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I love this lens

I love this lens! I was looking for a wide angle lens for long exposures and I was delighted with this lens. The attached image is a 6 minute 40 second exposure taken on the first day I put the lens on a 67mm ND10 Zomei Slim neutral density filter. I first processed the file in Lightroom, where I was pleasantly surprised to find an embedded lens profile. The build quality is high and the lens feels pretty solid. I didn't find any unexpected highlights in any of the images and the colors look vibrant, don't bleach them in Lightroom! Since both Rokinon lenses and Samyang lenses are the same, I bought a cheaper Samyang version. I'm traveling to the Grand Canyon in a month and can't wait to test this lens. If you are looking for an inexpensive and moderately well-corrected wide-angle lens, I recommend buying this one.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I won't say anything
