XF lens deals

The XF lenses price is normal again at every store but not at AmazonUS. You can still find some lenses, as the 27mm and 14mm nicely rebated. Also the 55-200 is cheaper than normal. But check them all out at AmazonUS.

Samyang 12mm (BHphoto)

FR-readers Sunwook: “Hi Patrick. Samyang’s new lens released on last Thursday in Korea and I bought 12mm immediatly. Here’s some images taken with my Fuji X-E2 and Samyang 12mm. Mounted / Night shot at each aperture step(due to wind, long exposure looks blurred) / Random shots.”

Here are my thoughts..

 Pros:
– Solid built.
– Very little distortion.
– Very good resolution.
Cons:
– Edge color aberration in many situation.
– Black hood with silver lens.
– Manual focus. I got some badly focused image. Need more experience!
FYI, I have uploaded earlier+additional images to flickr:

The 12mm can be pre-ordered at BHphoto.
