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 27mm f/2.8

The XF 27mm f/2.8 is one of Fujifilm's few actual pancake lenses, the only other being the 18mm f/2 lens. It offers an equivalent of 41mm on a full frame camera, or a 55.5 degrees angle of view. This lens has no weather sealing, is not considered particularly fast, and has a rumor for not having particular good resolution. It has a rumor for being a kind of "meh" lens, only being attractive for its cheap price. Yet, many reviewers express surprise when they review this little gem. Apparently it has more than what the eyes sees, particularly for the casual street photographer or documentarist, who wants something wider than the 35mm lenses, but still a little tighter than the 23mm lenses. It is a lens which both allows you to take in the scene, but also to get intimate with the subject, combining the best of the 35mm and 23mm worlds. And did I mention that it is a cheap lens? Also, the rumor of not having a particular good resolution might be unjustified. Check more b...
