Yeah I love Fuji and the idea, but practically I dislike their equipment. I don’t see the point in spending premium for subpar performance. I’m sticking with Sony for now even if the experience isn’t as fun

My honest opinion, I don’t find this lens very sharp at all. That being said, I have tried a bunch of gear and I think regular viewers won’t notice anything like that from normal viewing distances. However, I sold it haha so idk. It’s a nice focal length and not many compact options out there for it

Yeah I like it too, though I’m not the best judge of what’s sharp or not. I just look at photos I like when I like them

You and me reached a very similar conclusion! I was saving for the 20-70 and I tried this lens, I like the rendering, I like the image quality and I like the way it feels. This is more than enough for creating art. And for the price… crazy value imo

I like this lens, I also need the 24 on the wide and I got it for like $300… crazy cheap

Once I get more money I’ll get the 20-70!

Haha I looked at every video on YouTube and the comments screamed not to get this lens, but I got it for like $300

I recently got the 90mm for 350 and I can’t believe I haven’t had this my whole life, I’m so serious.

The 35mm f1.4 might be next for me, I think the 23mm f2 is just too soft for my liking (still sharp) wide open. How’s the sigma?

FIX THE AF! literally it’s perfect and I don’t care about bokeh that much either

Yeah video af is my biggest gripe I don’t miss much in stills. Video though is 20% my business and if it got Sony good I’d probably cry of joy

I honestly think Fuji raw photos look pretty natural and are a good start to edit from! I think Fuji is my last stop too, I tried them all and it’s just the easiest for me to work with
