    The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

    Anyone here got experience of the Fuji 27mm 2.8 WR. I’m thinking of getting one for my T4 and just wondered what the AF performance is like. I’m wanting it to be an everyday lens to pop on to take to the park to get pics of the kids. I’ve got the Viltrox 27mm 1.2 which is stunning but just...

    I’ve not got the Viltrox 23mm but I do have the Viltrox 27mm 1.2 and it is an amazing lens. I sold my Fuji 23mm 1.4 and have no regrets. The sharpness is superb. Probably my sharpest lens and I own a few

    No worries. You could always get the 90mm then sell the 80. It’s more than just a portrait lens .

    I had the 56mm 1.2 and to be honest I'd sell that, get the viltrox then use the spare money for other gear ;)

    First time out with the Viltrox 56mm 1.4 Fuji

    It's fantastic to be honest. All these were shot wide open. I find the bokeh smoother on the viltrox and the af is much faster than the Fuji. Also I find the viltrox sharper. There is a quite a bit of fringing in high contrast areas when shot wide open but this clears up alot at f2. I loved the...

    First time out with the Viltrox 56mm 1.4 Fuji

    Got this lens as I was missing the 56mm focal length having got rid of my 56mm 1.2 a while back. Have to say it is every bit as good (and better in certain areas) as my old Fuji. So yesterday I took it on its first run out and I'm happy with its performance and the quality of the images :)...

    Went in search for autumn colours and some conkers yesterday. First time out with my new Viltrox 56mm 1.4. Gotta say I'm really impressed with it and every bit as good as my ex 56mm 1.2 :) Conker Picking_1 by Phil Carver, on Flickr Conker Picking_5 by Phil Carver, on Flickr Conker Picking_7...

    How do you find the lens? Sharpness, build quality and reliability etc. I'm really tempted by the 56mm

    Viltrox 23mm 1.3 for fuji?

    Hi all just wondered if anyone has any experience with this lens on a fuji system. I currently have the fuji 23mm 1.4 and was thinking of selling this to get the Viltrox then use the additional money left over towards a Viltrox 56mm 1.4. Just want o make sure I wouldn't be missing my Fuji...

    Thanks [emoji2]. The 90mm is a superb lens. I got rid of my 56mm 1.2 to fund this and every so often I wonder why I got rid of that lens as I loved it. Then I use the 90mm and I remember why. Superb sharpness and the af is lightning quick. Oh and the bokeh is gorgeous [emoji7]

    Took the XT4 and the 90mm to our local park for our weekly lockdown jaunt. After a couple of weeks manual focussing with the Mitakon 35mm 0.95 It was nice to appreciate again just how fast this lens acquires focus. And also the compression it brings with the 90mm focal range :) DSCF1678 by Phil...

    How many of you XT4 owners have plumped for the charger? I'm struggling to justify £60 for it :LOL:
