With an open aperture of f/1.2 the Samyang 35mm f/1.2 ED AS UMC CS is a very bright, manual lens for mirrorless APS-C and MFT cameras. My product test reviews the Samyang 35mm f/1.2 on my Fujifilm X-T1. With a focal length multiplier of 1.5 on the Fujifilm X-T1 the Samyang 35mm equates to using a focal length of about 50mm (52.5 mm) on a full frame sensor. Therefore it can be considered what we usually call a “normal lens” – but let’s get to this later. The Samyang 35mm f/1.2 lens construction comprises 9 glasses in 7 groups, two of them being aspherical lenses to minimize aberration. A high-quality multi-layer interference and anti-reflective Ultra Multi Coating have been included to deliver well-balanced colors and avoid ghosting or lens flares. The aperture ring clicks into place perfectly. The non-slip focus ring moves very smoothly and can be turned very far. This makes it possible to focus precisely without any problems even at a fully open aperture. The mount as well as the aperture and focus rings are made of metal, which results in a nice feel and delivers a high-quality impression. Thus, from a technical side, apart from the focal length, the Samyang 35mm F/1.2 compares to the Samyang 50mm F/1.2 lens.
