Samyang has just released its very lightweight and compact AF 75mm F1.8 X autofocus lens for FUJIFILM X-mount cameras. The lens covers APS-C sensors and gives you a field of view of around 21,9° with a minimum focusing distance of only 69 cm. So let’s take a closer look at it!

But if you are a user of mirrorless FUJIFILM X-mount cameras like the X-H2 (news article and review) or the X-H2S (news article, review and Lab Test) the compact AF 75mm F1.8 X autofocus lens could be really interesting for you.

In combination with a X-H2/X-H2S the lens is suitable for use on a gimbal or even on a drone. Lens design...
