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) 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 Swith”, 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.
