    Together with the Sigma 18-50 this would make a very lightweight compact aps-c setup, whereas Fuji lenses seem to get bigger and bigger.

    Nice that there is the mode selector for the control ring. That’s something I wish the Tamron lenses had. This 75mm was the only one of the Samyang FE lenses I was hoping would make the journey to X-mount-the rest are too big or too dark for APS-C, but this has potential. I know the Viltrox 75mm is a stop faster, and it’s IQ is fantastic, but the minimum focus distance wasn’t great and the size was big for me, since I don’t actually shoot many portraits and overall versatility matters more to me. Certainly something I’m considering.

      I hoped for the 135mm 1.8, because it is optically superb and there is no such a lens for X Mount available yet.

      @@muttishelfer9122 That's fair. Mostly I'd been thinking of their "compact" FF line, which don't really offer much for crop sensors. But the 135 would. Halfway between the Fuji 90 and 200, kinda.

    Preferring to keep my gear small and light, it’s between this Samyang and Sigma’s 56mm f1.4 for me (though honestly my preferred portrait lens would be a compact 65 or 70mm). Until such a lens is released I think I’ll pop for the Sigma 56. This entry from Samyang is tempting though. Thanks for the tour!

    • @brownbear100
      @brownbear100 Před rokem +1

      The E-mount was released 2 years ago, before high inflation pushed all prices up considerably, doesn´t have the second generation body which includes weather sealing and E-mount offers Samyang far better economies of scale with a much bigger user base (APSC and FF). Of course the E-mount is cheaper now after two years on sale... but its hardly fair to compare a launch price of the second gen body with a discounted price of the first gen body. Taking into account of inflation using the Bank of England inflation calculator, wouldn´t you know it the launch prices are practically identical.
      You have a point with rhe Viltrox, but I don´t really see them as competitors. If I got the Samyang, I´d keep the Fuji 90 and use the 75 mainly for travel and general purpose. The Viltrox 75 is more specialised, like the 90, even if it lacks some of the performance (AF) features (minimum focussing distance) and rendering of the Fuji, and I doubt I justify keeping both, and I certainly wouldn´t want to travel with it for anything more than a weekend! I can see why Damian might end up keeping both!
