Hi all,
I'm looking for a super wide angle choice that would be (a) optically good and (b) economical. I have narrowed it down to two options from Samyang: either the 12mm f/2 (Fuji X-mount) or the 14mm f/2.8 (adapted). In fact, since I'm using a focal reducer with manual lenses on Fuji (shameless plug: check out my review on my website here and here), the 14mm will be closer to a FF equivalent of ~16mm and f/2 light gathering ability on my Fuji cameras.
I understand both have their pros and cons and I'm asking for feedback from members with practical experience
12mm:
14mm + Camdiox adapter:
Thank you!

12mm:
- Smaller, ligher
- Native mount
- Takes regular filters
14mm + Camdiox adapter:
- Somewhat wider
- Bulkier/heavier
- Can be used on other systems also (adapted)
- Needs special filter holder/filters
Thank you!
