Is that Samyang manual focus only?

Indeed it is. Too awesome a lens for anyone not to own in my opinion though. I got mine for $200 in mint condition, seriously a no-brainer for less than $300.

Jeez, what a sleeper of a lens. F/1? I will do some more research....

It's an f/2 lens, f/1 is just what Fuji reports on any adapted lens without electronics (for some reason). It is definitely a sleeper lens though

Thanks for the clarification

Recent commercial shoot with a Local Chef...

Have an editorial to shoot with some Syrian refugees this weekend so finally caved and ordered a Godox TT658F. I've been using an Nissin i60 with the Air1 remote and that really is the almost perfect flash, in terms of operation and size for Fuji. But the Godox is a bigger head and has a much better AF assist been. I never imagined I'd get to say that shooting mirrorless. So I'm hoping for even better light, plus it'd be nice to have only one trigger to control all my lights. I do think I'll keep the little i40 for the moment though, handy at parties and such but I might just get the old EF-X20 for that.

I'm still having TTL issues with the Nissin remotely, suffered big time last week while trying it out. The flash was giving out waaaayyy to much light even though I had dialled down the FEC to -2 both on the flash and camera. Ended up reverting back to full manual control as normal so got the results I was after in the end.

Nothing quite like fully manually shooting, ISO, aperture, shutter, focus and flash. Man those dials make life easy.

I nearly missed that one Randall, that is lovely shot.
