Over the past few months, we have been sharing numerous articles that focus on Samyang CS lenses designed for mirrorless cameras. In the specific CS category, there is one lens that we cannot skip even though it is no longer new: the 12mm f/2. It is one of the best deals you can find for your mirrorless APS-C camera. So even though the product is now two years old, we felt that it was about time to included on our review list. As the expression goes: better later than never!

In our comparison with the Fujinon 56mm 1.2, the lens left the battlefield with a few broken bones. However, since I spent a long time with the lens, I decided to share a more complete article with more images. Let’s see if this 50mm can still be a interesting choice for Fuji X and mirrorless users in general despite its flaws.

They also have a popular line-up of Cine lenses.
