Thank you so much Amanda!!!:):):)

get the viltrox 27 1.2 instead and don't look back

I need the 33!! The 56 is my every day for portraits!!

You going to love the 33mm it stays on my xt5 almost all the time@@jasonberkmanphotography8672

Thanks for the comment!!! I haven't checked it out yet. I just love having an aperture ring, so I haven't had a sigma lens since the 18-35. I want to get that one again though. I think I just had a bad copy.... Try the Viltrox 23mm f1.4!! amazing for the price!! Have an awesome day!!!

The XT-3 was my first Fujifilm camera!! Such an amazing camera! Actually better overall than the x100v!!;)

that is a way better combo than an x100v bro..

Nothing "poor man" about X-T3. In fact, it's a step up from the X100V

Thanks for the comment!! Honestly, the Viltrox is amazing!! I used it for model shoots, weddings, families, portraits and you name it!! It wall get purple fringing with blown out highlights and white backgrounds, but for the money……ridiculous!! Also it is not weather sealed; tough but not sealed:)

Viltrox has CA and fringing wide open in high-contrast shots (outdoors-not a big issue indoors). Nice bokeh. AF very fast, but not quite as accurate. Softer images wide open. From F/2 on up, it’s super sharp and hard to tell apart from the Fuji plus fringing/CA not really an issue anymore. There is vignetting that I don’t think got corrected in-camera so if you don’t like that it needs tweaking in post. Basically, it’s a “character” lens like the original Fuji 23mm but with superior AF. FWIW I shoot my Fuji 1.4 LM WR around f/2 the most. However, the weather resistance, superior performance wide open, excellent AF, and closer focusing were all worth the extra $ I paid to get one used. It’s an awesome lens and definitely NOT big the Fujicron might be smaller but neither is a pancake and the cron is soft at MFD which is annoying.

correct. the 18mm f2 is definitely not a fujicron. the 18mm f2 was one of the first lenses to release with the xf system back in Q1 2012. definitely is not weather sealed. but is definitely one of the "pancakiest" lenses you can slap on a fuji body. imo, the 18f2 has a lot of the gen 1 fuji glass character similar to the cult favorite 35 f1.4. but yeah, definitely shows its age on newer bodies but still to this day, is a very everyday-able lens especially for street/landscape/travel photography. the 35 f1.4 and 18 f2 are the two lenses that ALWAYS travel with me.

@@henlolneh thank you. I bet it’s a great leans. I do see some pretty great images taken with that lens. I would love to consider one myself but honestly, my xpro3 offers OVF limitations for lens wider than 23mm and I keep struggling with the fact that investing on lenses that “only” allow me the usage of the EVF seems to spoil (at least to me) the logic of owning an Xpro line camera (instead of I.e. an XE4). I own a cheap solution for fun on wider shots, a manual TTArtisan 17mm f/1.4 or when I’m travelling I also break the OVF rule with a xf16-80 that allows more versatility but the main point to me of choosing an xpro is using the OVF the most and that leaves us with the trilogy of the 23, 35 and 50mm f/2 on the xpro line. Going longer (such as the great 90mm f/2) I believe will be obtrusive in the lower right corner of the OVF, going wider than 23mm we lose the OVF frame lines … maybe an xpro4 hopefully on a near future.
