The Canon 50/1 just a little bit heavier and takes 72mm rather than 77mm filters. The Canon 50/1 focuses a little closer (2'/0.6m) than any of the Fuji 50/1, XF 56mm f/1.2 or XF 56mm f/1.2 APD (all focus only to 2.3'/0.7m). The Canon 50/1 sells for about $4,000 used if you know How to Win at eBay.
The 50mm f/2.0 and the Nikkor-UD 20mm f/3.5 are both lovely, and surprisingly good. Yes, I see Bjorn Rorslett gave the 50mm f2 a good review. Now that I have full frame on the way, I am quite excited to get my MF lenses on it to try. I also have the 28mm 2.8 AIS and it does not blow me away on APS-C, will see how it fares on FF.
The XF 50mm f/2 R WR is another solid effort from Fujifilm. The lens fits in wonderfully with the other recent f/2 prime lenses, providing very good optical quality in a very compact, yet robustly constructed body. While I feel that the more expensive 56mm f/1.2 is still going to be the lens that most will want when looking for a fast short
From bokeh to sharpness to nocturnal capabilities, there’s a lot on offer. Fuji’s original set of XF primes included a 50mm equivalent, the XF 35mm F1.4. It didn’t ship with mind-bending specs, but instead, as a lens with exceptional image quality, and compact size. To this day, it remains one of the best lenses in Fuji’s line up
Using my new Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN on my Fujifilm X-T5 and X-T3. At 50mm in A mode, the cameras select the same shutter speed at f/4.0 and f/2.8, despite displaying f/2.8 and using the lens at
The XF 50mm F2 has a quality build, with premium materials, internal weather sealing, and a manual aperture ring. Everything functions well, though as is typical, I find that the manual focus ring takes a lot of rotations to make major focus changes an is better reserved for finetuning focus. The XF 50mm F2 is solid optically, though not
The Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2 arrived on the scene last year, completing the triad of inexpensive and lightweight f/2 primes for the system. With its equivalent field of view of 76mm in 35mm format, it is long enough to be considered a decent portrait lens but can also work for events and everyday walk-around photography.
Again, if shooting portraits is your thing, the 56mm might be preferable in this regard. Sigma lenses in general are modern lens designs, and tend to deliver sharp images with rich colors and high contrast. The C (Contemporary lenses) aren't as sharp as Sigma's legendary Art lenses, but they still deliver nice crisp images.
