Samyang AF Lenses Coming to X Mount: Likely Samyang 12mm f/2.0 AF


Samyang has some interesting AF lenses for E-mount and the majority are prime lenses so it is no surprise that their first lens for X-mount will also be a prime based on the image above. Most of Samyang’s full-frame glass is already small enough to be passed off as being designed for APS-C, but Samyang only has one APS-C design at the moment the Samyang 12mm f/2.0 AF, which is probably the first lens we will get from them since an original design would be expensive and less likely.

Instax Wide Black Film Preorders Start


The new Instax Wide Link printer has gotten most of the press recently, but Fujifilm also announced a new Instax Wide film that is now available for preorder on Amazon. I really like that Instax Wide is more polaroid-like in size and quality over standard Instax and I hope it does well because that will help drive the price of Instax Wide down over time. The price point of $149 for the printer is already a very good one, but film prices could get better.

If you’re new to Instax Wide there is currently a film and printer bundle that is worth picking up at B&H Photo
