Samyang 35mm F1.2 ED AS UMC CS



Samyang's 35mm F1.2 ED AS UMC CS is a lens which covers probably the most popular and flexible focal length, roughly being a 50mm on a full frame sensor (52.5mm), allowing both more wide shots, as well as the closer subject oriented shots. 

The abbreviations stand for Extra-low Dispersion (ED) ASpherical (AS) Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) Crop Sensor (CS), meaning that this lens will offer better low light dispersion, improves sharpness and less chromatic aberration (the ED), with multiple layers of coating, which gives better protection of the glass and better quality. The AS element is the shape of a lens element, which in this case there are two of, and which "minimise aberration and unnecessary light dispersion, delivering high resolution from the centre to the corners of the image" (quoted from Samyang's official statements on the lens). The CS abbreviation is added to all of their prime lenses made specifically for APS-C and MFT cameras.

With its wide aperture of f/1.2 this is a lens which allows you to use it even in situations with little light, while still keeping a fast shutter. The image quality, even wide open, should be good, allowing usable images.

If you're manual focus shooter, and you're looking for a good alternative to Fujifilm's 35mm f/1.4 lens, then this is a good option to consider.

XF 23mm f/1.4 R

The XF 23mm f/1.4 R takes some points here, being among the older - but not oldest - Fujinon lenses (from 2014), one of the lenses with the widest aperture, of f/1.4, and being among the bigger and more heavy prime lenses. But being big and heavy for a Fuji lens, is rather relative compared to lenses of other brands. And this lens creates magic. The 23mm focal length, which equals 35mm on a full frame sensor or a 63.4 degrees angle of view, is great for a lot of casual shooting, street photography, and even some kinds of portrait photography. However, the very wide aperture and amazing image quality, is what makes this lens magical. It is a lens made for the creatives, allowing you to express whichever thought comes to mind. To purchase the XF 23mm f/1.4 R, follow link for below option/s: Amazon Specs: Focal Length 23mm (35mm Equivalent Focal Length: 35mm) Maximum Aperture f/1.4 Minimum Aperture f/16 Angle of View 63.4° ...

XF 16mm f/1.4 WR

This is probably one of the most celebrated and revered Fujinon lenses, recommended by far the most of the people, who have had their hands on it. Though it being a wide angle, the close focusing distance of only 15 cm (!) allows you to get very creative with it, even creating some nice bokeh - if that is your thing. While many people would consider this pearl of a lens mainly for street photography or landscape photography, it can easily be used for product, food, and even and even portrait photography. Many would insist that this, together with the 56mm f/1.2 and the 90mm f/2 are the best lenses to get for your Fujifilm camera, having almost everything covered. To purchase the XF 16mm f/1.4 WR, follow link for below option/s: Amazon Specs: Focal Length 16mm (35mm Equivalent Focal Length: 24mm) Maximum Aperture f/1.4 Minimum Aperture f/16 Angle of View 83.2° Minimum Focus Distance 5.91" / 15 cm ...
