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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best value for money wide angle lens on the market

You will hardly find a better APS wide angle lens at this price. It's sharp, it's fast, distortion is kept to an absolute minimum, and it's tiny! Yes, it's manual focus, but don't let that put you off. Such a long focal length means you can leave this lens at infinity and bring almost anything further than a few feet away from you into sharp focus. If your camera can show focus peaking, it's even faster and easier to use, to the point where I no longer feel limited compared to an AF lens. If you are considering astrophotography, you should consider this lens. . It controls coma exceptionally well and produces beautiful starfields with no gull-shaped spots appearing at the edges of the frame. You'll also appreciate the fast F2 aperture, meaning you'll spend less time standing around on a freezing cold night waiting for your picture to be exposed.
