QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Oct 4 2015, 03:17 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Just got back from vacation. Awful trip.. caught in a typhoon, horrid weather in the first few days, all my photo plans gone and when the weather became better. I was caught a bad flu and was in no mood to shoot stuffs except for family snaps. I did however gotten to know the 12mm samyang more so posting here to share some thoughts First of all, "autofocus" is lightning fast. Just stick it at the vertical line marking before infinity for shooting sceneries etc even at f2. Zone focussing is never simpler. Walking around with kids full body shots... 1m@f8. Low light then have to adjust just a tiny bit. Magnified view pressing the thumbwheel helps Most importantly.. blind selfies with the kids had never been so easy. Put the focus ring on 1/3 of the way after 0.5m to 1m and its perfect arms length focus even at f2. Focussing aside, its sharp but not as sharp as fuji's own lenses and not so contrasty. Below are all 12mm samyang out of camera jpegs except for some straightening.

Anyway, the 16mm here already increase price by few hundred... |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 3 2015, 11:41 AM) This Fujifilm is really making people broke but good for people like me who is already broke, can't buy anything.  That said I think the RM 350 discount for 18mm is quite a steal.  Planning to get the wide angle for my next year's trip to Japan, you reckon 10-24 better or 18mm better fruitie? |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 3 2015, 12:08 PM) I kinda regretted for not getting 10-24mm earlier. Luckily I'm not after camera gears like I used to be, when I have enough excess cash to be spent elsewhere, I will probably get the 10-24mm.  Tempted to....especially with the rebate, the price is less than 3k. |

Guys, would you suggest the 18mm or getting the X70? Price is quite competitive for the X70.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Feb 25 2016, 11:20 PM) All the affected posts have been edited by me.  Running out of stock so have to wait till next week? I read some of the X70 reviews in the office and it just suits me perfectly for my next week's business trip to Manila. Small yet powerful. For safety reason, I'm not bringing my X-T1... So fruitie, you getting one also? |
