Samyang 100mm f/2.8 ED UMC Macro Lens For Fujifilm X Summary
The Samyang 100mm f/2.8 ED UMC Macro Lens has been designed for  as the ultimate close-up lens for nature photography. With a bright aperture for low light and selective focus, 1:1 magnification and vivid colour reproduction it does punch well above its price point. Results are excellent, with sharpness apparent throughout as Samyang has used a generous number of optical elements with special glass to minimise colour aberration and refractive light bouncing around the lens. 9 aperture blades render smooth out of focus areas around the subject and coatings help with flare when shooting into light.
As a manual focussing lens users can pinpoint their focus point without letting the camera AF system guess on their behalf. For extreme close-ups this can save time and provide advantages over using Autofocus. We posted a blog about , which may be a useful read for this type of purchase. A short telephoto lens of this type with 100mm reach can also be used to capture beautiful portraits, detail shots at weddings and other subjects where we want to get closer to our subjects.
