I have always been a huge fan of the Samyang 12mm F2 lens for the Fujifilm X Series. In fact, it was actually the very first lens I purchased for my then X-T1, aside of the kit lens!
It is my main go-to lens for Astrophotography and I use it a lot for Architecture and Landscape. And it's the main lens I used in my Fog vlog video as well.
But it was always limited to being used as manual focus lens only. Not much of a problem, but still a limitation (imposed by Fujifilm for a very long time). But after Fujifilm finally allowed other brands to develop autofocus lenses, Samyang released a brand new version of my beloved 12mm F2.
So now this incredible lens, considered by most as the very best third party lens for the Fujifilm X System, has Autofocus support.
Apologies for the low volume audio. It was all fine until I exported from Premiere...
Watch all about it here, with about 50 photo samples from both the old and new model.
