Samyang is one of the lens manufacturers that offers affordable lenses with top notch quality. I have personally owned 3 Samyang lenses and I never regret it, in fact I recommend them. So far, they have never let me down. The Samyang 14mm is an ultra wide angle lens, if you haven’t tried an such focal length, it can be overwhelming to use. This super wide angle can easily introduce distortions, but once you get the hang of it, you […]
I remember when the first Fujifilm X-series with interchangeable lenses was introduced, the X-Pro1; it came with three prime lenses and it was well received by the photography community and those prime lenses created quite a buzz. Prime lenses are known to be fast and sharp but so is the price, it’s so sharp it hurts! However, thanks to companies like Samyang, you won’t have to empty your savings or use your kid’s college fund to afford a fast prime. […]
Fujifilm X-Series came a long way. Gone are the days of limited options for lenses. Fujifilm have produced excellent selections of lenses, which I feel made the X-Series successful as it is now.

I would like to thank BHMstore for letting me test this lens. Tilt-shift lenses have been […]
I was actually excited about this lens when I first heard about it. I was interested to see if it’s better than the 35mm f1.4, because that lens – although it’s a “pre-historic” lens in terms of the Fujifilm X series timeline, since it’s one of the first lenses to be released, is in fact my favorite lens. I only had one week to try it out, so I don’t have a one-on-one shoot-out, but I’ll definitely do that soon. […]
Together with the Fujifilm X-T10, Fujifilm Middle East also provided me a pre-production model of their 90mm f2.0 lens, and here are my first impressions: Size Comparison One of the key component of a mirrorless lens is its size, and being a prime lens, that makes it more interesting to check how it fares up with the other fujinon primes. Here’s the 35mm f1.4, 56mm f1.2, 16mm f1.4 and the 90mm f2.0 As you can see, it is quite a […]
