From our review:
Several months ago we got the Samyang AF 75mm F1.8 for review. This lens is part of Samyang's growing family of AF lenses and more specifically the small, light, and affordable line which they refer to as the "tiny but almighty".

The AF 75mm F1.8 is a focal length that used to be popular back in the film days before 85mm became more common. It is also worth mentioning that last year we looked at another member of this line - the AF 45mm f/1.8 FE which performed quite well.

As we typically do, we shall start with the design and build before we move over to performance and give you the final verdict.
