The 12mm f2.0 ROKINON (Samyang) is the ideal lens for astro-photography. With large open aperture and shutter speeds between 25-30 seconds at ISO 1600 you achieve great results. I like the lens and

NYC is a big melting pot... of course :):P

 

I have family in upstate NY, but they're Mohawk. I meant enough of them Mexi-cans to make bilingual signs compulsory. It's normal down here on the border but I find it strange up in NY. Down here a lot of folks don't even speak English ... and I don't mean people from Chihuahua.

Does anyone find this is loose in the fuji mount - I tried two different copies on my X-T1 and it was moving far too much in the mount. I am eager to find out if its different on the X-E2. Anyone have this issue??

It's not an issue on my X-E2 (and I've tried a couple of copies of the lens). It will move a little if pushed passed the focus limits but it does require some force.

no, I don’t have that.

 

Having said this, both my cameras ( X-T1 and X-E2) have a slight “ wiggle” which you can feel when focussing a manual lens, not only the Samyang but ANY lens.

 

The Fuji “ wiggle” is a rather common occurrence and I believe it exists on any fuji camera, but it is not the lens.

That's a tolerance-thing. The slot holes in the Samyang lenses seem to be a bit wider than Fujinon's. But even with Fujinon lenses, there are differences. With the XF27 and the XF18-55, I have almost no play, just a tiny amount that seems to come from the play the locking pin has in the camera sided mount. The XF55-200 moves a bit more, but it's acceptable. The XF100-400 however moves so far that it can temporarily lose the electrical connection. My 12/2 moves very noticeable, worst of all my lenses. But there are no electrical contacts, so I don't care. A little rotational movement around the lense's optical axis should have no influence on the image.

That's why I said that it is probably a tolerance problem. Some of the slot holes on the lenses (where the locking pin snaps in) are wider, some are narrower. The variation seems to be worse with Samyang, otherwise your's wouldn't be tight while mine is loose. But even the Fujinon lens mount parts seem to vary, as my four lenses are all different.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
