560g vs 260g, 14mm vs 12mm, F/2.8 vs F/2, should I change ?
1

I use a FUJIFILM X-A1 with a Nikon FX Adapter for my 14mm F/2.8 Samyang Lens. (Nikon Version)
The Lens alone weights a bit over 560g.

Now i have seen some Time long the 12mm F/2 Samyang for the X-Mount with only 260g !
The Question is: should I buy the 12mm F/2 Samyang to save more as the double weight ?

The only disadvantage is that i can use this Lens only for the X-Mount.
The 14mm F/2.8 Samyang is usable on both, the native F-Mount and the X-Mount with a Adapter.

The second Question is: has the 12mm F/2 Samyang Lens half Aperture Steps ?
I would be Thankful for Opinions and Recommendations.

The Reason for this Question is that i have buy a Glidecam.
