Korean lens manufacturer Samyang is set to release its second AF lens for Fuji X mount soon, following the release of its AF 45mm f/1.8 for the same mount last year. The new model is AF 75mm f/1.8 X, which promises to deliver high-quality images with its fast aperture and compact size. Here is everything we know so far about the upcoming lens.
Physical Exposure of the Lens
Independent Photographers Association, a blogger, has released pictures of the new Samyang lens, giving an early sneak peek of what to expect. According to the photos, the lens has an equivalent full-frame angle of view of about 112.5mm, which makes it ideal for portrait photography. It weighs about 230g and has a 62mm filter interface, which is a slight upgrade from the previous version. The closest focusing distance is 0.69m, which allows for good close-up shots.
Pricing
According to the dealer, the price of the Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8 X is expected to be 3199 yuan, which is about $500. The price tag is slightly higher compared to the E-mount 75mm F1.8 AF lens sold by Samyang, which is currently priced at 2149 yuan.
New Design
The Independent Photographers Association has stated that the new Samyang lens will have a new second-generation lens design. However, it is unclear whether this is a major or minor change. It is also worth noting that the filter interface has been changed from 58mm to 62mm.
Expectations
Samyang is known for its high-quality lenses, and the AF 75mm f/1.8 X is expected to be no different. The lens promises to deliver exceptional image quality, thanks to its fast aperture and compact size. The lens is also expected to be lightweight, making it easy to carry around. The new second-generation lens design is also expected to improve the lens's overall performance, making it more efficient.
