The feature set and overall performance of the Samyang 75mm F1.8 AF Compact Telephoto lens for APS-C Fuji X mount cameras are unmatched by any in its class.

Compact Size & Light Weight

The AF 75mm F1.8 X is the smallest (69.3mm/2.7in length) and lightest (257g/26.5oz weight) autofocus telephoto lens designed for Fuji X-mount users. Its compact size and lightweight maximize the portability and usability and it's a great match to compact Fujifilm mirrorless cameras.

Excellent Resolution in All Areas of the Image

The 2 HR (High Refractive) and 3 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass elements of this new AF 75mm F1.8 X provide a stunning contrast and resolution in all areas of the image. Samyang's advanced coating technology maintains excellent image sharpness and clear image even in poor lighting conditions.

Impressive Background with Refined and Beautiful Bokeh

The F1.8 maximum aperture of this new AF 75mm F1.8 X lens provides an extremely narrow depth of field expression and amazing out-of-focus images. A 9-blade circular aperture design creates a beautifully blurred background at a narrow depth of field. Its smooth bokeh and blurred background can make subjects stand out in images with deep dimensional impact.

Fast and Accurate Auto Focus

The AF 75mm F1.8 X tracks the subject accurately and quickly, whilst the AF operates quietly and smoothly in video recording mode. In particular, it is advantageous for video shooting as this compact and lightweight lens is suitable for use on a gimbal, in combination with the small and light Fujifilm X series cameras.

Custom Switch Mode 1 & 2

The AF 75mm F1.8 X includes a new special feature, the “Preset Aperture Control” function on the "Custom Switch - Mode 2”. You can control the depth of field more smoothly without noise and vibration when you record videos in AF mode. On the "Custom Switch - Mode 1”, it operates with the “Focus Control” function in MF shooting mode, so you can adjust the focus precisely, by rotating the focus ring. More functions will be added through firmware updates in the future and you can check the detailed information on the official website.

Modern Design with Weather Sealing

The AF 75mm F1.8 X has adopted the Samyang AF 2nd generation design such as a rubberized micro-patterned focus ring, hidden red ring, and matte finish, also weather sealing applied to 5 different spots.

The Samyang AF 75mm F1.8 FX is optimized for Fujifilm cameras featuring the X-Trans sensor, in order to provide stable AF performance. You can check the 'Camera Compatibility List' below.

Additional compatible camera models may be added in the future through firmware updates.

    Features

    Compact & Lightweight

    A Perfect Match to Compact Fujifilm X Cameras

    The AF 75mm F1.8 X is overwhelmingly lightweight and compact. Solely 257g (9.0oz) in weight and 69.3mm (2.7in) in length. This is the lightest and smallest autofocus telephoto lens designed for Fuji X-mount users. Maximizing its portability, it's a great match to compact Fujifilm mirrorless cameras and is part of everyone's precious moments.

    Overwhelming Image Quality and Expression

    Excellent Resolution in All Areas of the Image

    The AF 75mm F1.8 X is engineered to deliver overwhelming image quality. The optical design, incorporating 2 HR (High-Refractive) and 3 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glasses, provides stunning contrast and resolution from the center to the corner of the image. Samyang's advanced coating technology is applied to achieve excellent sharpness and a clear image even in poor lighting conditions.

    Impressive Background with Refined and Wonderful Bokeh

    The subject can be highlighted utilizing the shallow depth of field with the AF 75mm F1.8 X. When it is used wide open, busy backgrounds melt away from the subjects, and the subject such as a person, animal, or food, stands out even if the background is busy. Smooth bokeh created by a 9-blade circular aperture design makes the shallow depth of field expression more dreamy.

    Overwhelming Usability

    Preset Aperture Control Function Specialized for Video Shooting

    With Samyang's own feature "Preset Aperture Control" function on the "Custom Switch", you can create a video maximizing Fujifilm's own unique look and feel. You can control the depth of field more smoothly without noise and vibration when you record videos in AF mode. Every movement will be expressed more naturally than controlling on Fujifilm's camera body.

    What is Preset Aperture Control Function?

    On the Preset Aperture Control function, the aperture blade operates smoothly like a "De-clicked lens", which is advantageous for video recording.
    Fujifilm cameras are engineered to control the aperture according to the minimum exposure value(F-stop), so when the camera controls the aperture, it blinks momentarily to set the proper exposure.

    AF 75mm F1.8 X intentionally disconnects the communication with the camera body and the lens itself on the Preset Aperture Control function, so it is possible to smoothly adjust the exposure without flickering. ISO and shutter speed are adjusted according to the changed exposure by controlling the aperture, so the exposure value can be changed even with the 1/2 F-stop.

    What is Recommended Settings for Preset Aperture Control Function?

    The Preset Aperture Control function operates only when shooting video(Movie mode) and the focusing mode of the camera is set to AF mode. Please set the aperture at f/1.8 before switching the "Custom Switch" to "Mode 2. It is recommended to set the "Exposure mode" as A mode (Aperture Priority AE) or M mode (Manual Exposure).

    * How to use the “Preset Aperture Control” function?

    1) Camera Body Setting
          AF Mode → Video Mode ('A' or 'M' mode) → Set the Aperture @F1.8
    (2) Lens Setting
          Switch your "Custom Switch” to “Mode 2 (M2)"
    (3) Now, you're ready to use the Preset Aperture Control function with your focus ring
