A superlight short-telephoto lens for FUJIFILM X-mount cameras, the Samyang AF 75mm f/1.8 FE Lens for FUJIFILM Xoffers outstanding sharpness and fast and silent autofocus performance for both photo and video applications. Featuring a compact and highly portable design, this lens is an excellent choice for portraits, landscapes, street scenes, and more. The lens's f/1.8 maximum aperture is well-suited to low-light shooting conditions, and the lens's 9-blade circular aperture creates beautiful bokeh and background blur. A linear STM autofocus motor provides fast and accurate focusing, and a newly developed Preset Aperture Control function for video recording allows you to control the depth of field more smoothly and precisely without noise and vibration.

[1.085 lb] Great for environmental street portraits. The custom mode switch is a great feature not found on much more expensive gear. 5

[62 mm (Front)] Disregard that earlier review by "Lance". This lens is awesome. The AF mimics a normal focus pull and the weight makes it easy to swap out on a gimbal. I originally bought the 24mm V-AF and have been using it for a lot of gimbal work, I found that at times I would need a 85mm, so I use the Sony 85mm 1.8. To keep things consistent, I got the 75mm 1.8 V-AF. When switching focus, it is more organic and natural compared to a photo lens. I got the front accessory as well to dial the manual focus and it makes the feel of the lens much better. If you are interested in using this for photo, fear not. The AF speed can be adjusted via the lens station and will give you fast speeds as a normal lens would. My only gripe with the 75mm is the breathing which is normal at this focal length. Wish Sony extended the lens breathing comp to 3rd party lenses. On the other hand, the 24mm V-AF doesn't have any lens breathing comp at all. Overall I am happy with the build, quality and performance of this lens. This is a video centric lens and as such, the expectations should align with it. For the price, it's reasonable at $649. Looking forward to more accessories and improvements of this lens. 5

[f/1.8] I love the lens sharpness, lightweight, and small size. I'd absolutely buy it again. The AF locks on nicely. I opted to sell my 24-70 f4 and buy these little samyang lenses, the 35mm, 45mm, and 75mm, and I'm super happy I did. Great paired on my Sony a7r IV. 5

[9, Rounded] What a fun lens to use. It is sharp, AF works great and the collar can be programmed using optional lens station. One must just keep in mind the value proposition. 5

[Autofocus] I bought this lens for video but I use it now a lot for photos as well, mostly portraits. The lens is already sharp quite open and stepped down en par with my best lenses with similar focal range. Low light autofocus performance seems to be better than my Sony 85mm f/1.8 and much better than adapted Sigma lenses. Colour rendition and bokeh is also good. One has to be careful with lens flare, but the deep lens hood helps to control it. Next to the really good optical performance the biggest advantage of the lens is the small size and weight. Happy that I bought it. 5

[9, Rounded] This is an awesome product and I would definitely recommend it! 5

[9, Rounded] With a lens so small and light I thought for sure it would produce poor images, but I was wrong! The lens is very sharp and it's perfect for travel. Very little to no chromatic aberration and corner sharpness is very good. Sure, it's no 85mm f/1.4 GM but you can't tell a difference unless you're pixel peeping. The bokeh is very pleasing and it almost has this slight vintage rendering I really enjoy. 75mm is actually a great portrait focal length if you want some of the environment in the background vs the traditional 85mm. With these small & inexpensive Samyang and Tamron lenses (while producing very sharp images) I ditched my APSC kit completely. 5
