When compared to one of my all time favorite lenses, the Fujifilm 56mm f/1.2, the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 is notably sharper at f/1.4 and maintains a lead through most of the aperture range, though the two lenses show very similar levels of sharpness when stopped down to f/5.6 and beyond. Color, Contrast and Chromatic Aberration The 50mm f/2 is technically almost perfect. It's tack sharp, fast to focus, accurate, focuses quite close and has very good undistracting bokeh. You will get creamier bokeh with a 56mm f/1,4 or f/1,2 but the subject separation provided by the 50mm f/2 is good enough in most situations. I got the Viltrox for a few days. For example, he prefers Fuji's 35mm f/2 over the 35mm f/1.4. Someone in the comments asked him about the distortion in the 35mm f/2 and he said there was none. There is, but it's software corrected. In his Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 review he said it was a simple optical formula. Generally, the face should be in focus from the nose to the ear That means anywhere from F5.6 to F11 depending on the focal length being used. So, unless one is after wide, shallow DoF shots, the 55-200 is a serviceable lens for portraiture. Its a bit longer and skinnier than the 56. Both handle well on an X T1. 0 Comments. The Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 is available for pre-order now, and one of the big questions is: how does it compare to the good old Fujinon XF56mmf/1.2? Well, down below you can see the first size and image quality comparison that surfaced on the web and a FR-reader sent me. Please note: Fujifilm (富士) is on the left and Viltrox As I mentioned earlier, the lens is available in Fuji X / Sony E / Nikon Z / and Canon EF-M mount. For this review, I will be looking at the Nikon Z mount version of this lens. Size & Weight. The 56mm f/1.4 lens tips the scales at 11.3 oz / 320 g and it has physical dimensions of (ø x L) 2.6 x 2.8″ / 65 x 72 mm. And lenses such as a 56mm f/1.2 are really meant to be used at fully open aperture for separating an object from the rest of the world. Unfortunately, the extra glory comes at a price - the Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R is already fairly expensive at 1000US$ and the APD adds an extra 500US$ to the bill. Typical for most Fujinon lenses, the build At f/4, both lenses are very sharp. The 35mm f/1.4 is definitely a little sharper. Look at the grain in the wood in particular. The 35mm f/1.4 is crazy sharp. Saying “for a zoom” sounds a tad dismissive, but in the case of the 18-55, for a zoom it performs really well. At f/8, the FUJINON XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 closes the gap, but the 35 2) show me an equivalent FF kit to my walkaround kit of X-T5 + 23mm f1.4 + 56mm f1.2 (old ones) that is not bigger and heavier There isn't. And I know because I looked a lot of options before commiting to Fuji A Fuji 35mm f2 costs a lot more than a Panasonic 25mm f1.7. A Fuji 23mm f2 also costs a lot more than a Canon 22mm f2. Today you can buy a Sony A7 full frame for $1000 (now for less than 800 EUR at amazon.de) a 85mmf1.8 is $600. An equivalent set from Fujifilm X-T1 $1300 + 56mm/f1.2 would be $2300 vs the Sony $1600, this is significant. ieA9m.
