Always wanted to have a prime lens that is wider than my XF 18mm F2. After seeing some photos produced from Samyang 12mm F2 for Fujifilm X-mount, I decided to get a used one from local photography forum. Quite a sturdy lens when first mounted on my X-E1. Not extremely sharp, so you won’t be satisfied when pixel peeping, but it’s good enough for casual use. The not so sharp character actually gives the photos some analogue feel.
With it’s 21mm full frame equivalent focal length, the lens is quite suitable for shooting from the hip on the street by zone focusing.
Here’s my trusty Fujifilm X-E1 with Samyang 12mm F2 for Fujifilm X-mount:
