    After some weeks with my Samyang 12, I now feel I really love it.
    Here are some pics of mine.
    I'm waiting for some clear starry skyes to try it at night.

    Nice pictures swallero. I especially like the second shot. This lens works really well for landscapes (also really like the nightscape of JuergenK).

    The Samyang 12mm is my first wide angle lens for my Fuji XT1.
    I'm loving it... but not completely.
     
    1. the focus ring is quite stiff (as reported elsewhere), and the lens moves a bit on the camera body (maybe half a millimetre) while rotating the focus ring. That's quite an annoying issue, although it does not affect the final result.
     
    2. Chromatic aberration is quite evident near the edges of the picture... I use linux darktable, which is not that clever at correcting chromatic aberration... not that happy about that. struggling a bit in post-production.
     
    3. Loving the f/2 aperture!!! Useful for indoor shots, astrophoto (not tried that well enough, indeed), and some creative shots
     
    4. Manual focus: quite easy to use... although the end of the focus ring does not correspond to infinity... That's actually a bit before the ring stop.
     
    5. It's cheaper and wider than the XF 14mm... better suited for seascapes and countryside landscapes
     
    6. I do think that the fujinon XF 16 f/1.4 would be the perfect wide companion for my Samyang 12mm.
    Just waiting for the first used copies (or for some new fuji cashback coming to Italy in order to buy it new!!!)... :-)

    Hi all,
     
    Darktable is a - free - Raw developer which I feel is underappreciated.
    They added Fuji support about a year ago and I've never looked back since. 
    I was using Corel Aftershot (previously Bibble Pro) and darktable is a full-fledged replacement at an unbeatable price.
     
    The learning curve might look steep but just watch a few youtube videos and it will all make sense very quickly.
