Rokinon 12mm F2.0 NCS CS Ultra Wide Angle Lens for Fuji X Mount Digital Cameras (Black) (RK12M-FX) - Fixed

PRO: I love how wide this lens is without distorting too much. Its great for landscapes and portraits (especially when you dont have much physical space to use less wide lenses). I think its fun to use a manual lens when you have lots of time to make sure your subject is in focus or not. CON: However, Ive noticed its hard to tell if my photo is in focus or not when under bright sunlight and since my camera screen is pretty small (lumix g7) I was bummed to find out that a lot of the photos I thought were in focus were not in focus when I got home. I recommend you only use this manual lens for photoshoots that let you have lots of time to check the focus. Another con I would say compared to my other two lenses (lumix 45mm and 25mm), the photo quality isnt as great. Its obviously less clear and as others mentioned, theres a lens flare (which I dont mind since I think it looks cool often times) + you see chromatic aberration at some angles looking towards the light source (sun). CONCLUSION: I got this as I needed a wider angle lens for my purposes and it works great for indoor and outdoor shoots ONLY when I have lots of time. When in rush or to capture moments, its not a good camera lens. You probably need a lens with auto focus for the latter purpose :) I think I could recommend this wide angle lens for those who dont want to spend too much money but want a 12mm lens but if you have a bigger budget and want better quality, I recommend you get other lenses (like from Panasonic or Olympus)

Bought this for my EOS M3 camera, mostly to be used for astrophotography and landscape pictures. I also do some infrared landscape photography on the side. This one functions well for the aforementioned tasks. Its pretty sharp, its small, relatively light, and the build quality doesnt disappoint either. But one of the more common flaws Ive read from other reviews is that the infinity focus isnt where it should be - and it isnt. Mine is slightly after where the line is marked on the lens barrel. No biggie, but if youre trying to rely on that for nighttime focusing, it can be a pain. Also, its not that good for infrared photography (using a filter, camera is not converted); theres a very visible hotspot in the middle of the image when used. Otherwise, its a great third party lens for the EOS camera system.

I am using it for landscape photography with XT2 and a as beginner I like the photo I am getting out of this lens. The look and feel of using this lens is good. It feels robust. Its not fair to compare its image quality to 16-55 mm lens I have (or other high end lens) but it cost only one forth and images are sharp. It does produce good images if you are looking for wide angle shots. There is one minor issue that I have, the lens cap is not always easy put on lens. Its not go to but I do find myself using this lens while going out for outdoors.
