![]() | Minolta MC Rokkor PF 55mm f/1.7 Pros: Sharpness, solidity, absent chromatic aberrations, current price Cons: Flare resistance Opinion: I'm been working on This perspective on Mirrorless for about 4 years. There's nothing I can do every time I use it surprises me. Very solid optics, with a gorgeous vintage look. The sharpness in my opinion is good even at full opening, obviously it improves by closing already at f2.8; but what amazes me is the almost absence of chromatic aberrations, and in this sense it does better than many modern optics (and that cost even 10 times as much). The only true against flare resistance, which drastically loses contrast to the image. I use it on APSC, so I can't comment on any visible vignetting on FF. Bought for 30 euros, I had also paid 130 for me it would still have been a good deal. Highly recommended for those who can find a good specimen. sent on May 26, 2021 |
![]() | Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 Pros: Price (if you can't spend more), sharpness, bokeh Cons: Obvious chromatic aberrations Opinion: Purchased driven by rave reviews, but rendered after about a week and various trials. Its weak point is definitely the chromatic aberrations, present and evident even with not too strong lights, which disappear only at f4. Problem can be corrected in post production, but that precisely precludes the rapid use of jpg in the room, if necessary. For the rest, the lens generally has a good yield, both in terms of definition and in terms of colors and contrast. Autofocus is also almost always fast and effective, while noting momentary uncertainties, which can certainly be corrected with subsequent software updates. Ultimately it is an entry level lens with merits and defects that can be encountered in this price range. The purchase is to be considered depending on your budget and needs; of course, if you can spend more, there is no shortage of alternatives. sent on January 14, 2021 |
![]() | Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR Pros: Value for money, compactness, WR, general yield Cons: Nobody Opinion: Great goal, there's not much to say. As you would expect from a recent lens with this opening, yield and sharpness remain good even opening all the diaphragm. It is a lens that produces excellent images, faithful, without great defects. The maximum opening at 2.8 still allows you to take advantage of a slight bokeh if you take sufficiently close shots. Autofocus is in the standards of other fujicrons. Its strong point is definitely compactness, the 16mm is certainly not a handyman's optics, and it is almost always necessary to combine it with another lens: this can be kept in your pocket without problems and carry it with you in all situations. Ultimately it is a point of view to recommend and consider, also because, if you are looking for a similar wide angle in this price range, there are not many alternatives. PS. If you are amateur and already own one of the zooms of the kit (16-50, 15-45), I feel instead to advise against it: half an opening stop does not, in this case, make a difference. sent on January 14, 2021 |
![]() | Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, three-dimensionality, general yield. Cons: Autofocus, ta chromatic aberrations, loss of sharpness with very close shots. Opinion: It's not a flaw-free lens, but in what it excels at, it really excels. Its highlight is certainly the extraordinary sharpness even at 1.4, which allows you to make the most of the three-dimensionality of the lens at full opening, producing among other things a wonderful bokeh. The color rendering is also the optimal one of the xf objectives. As already mentioned, the downsides are there and they are well known to everyone (if you also look at the reviews outside of this site) but they remain, at least as far as my needs are concerned, manageable. Autofocus with low light easily goes into crisis and can be frustrating, but it is accurate and also fast in sufficient light conditions. Chromatic aberrations are present at full opening with un controlled lights, but they already disappear by closing a stop. With extremely close shots, at full aperture, the sharpness is insufficient if you want to enlarge or cut the image, but it improves a lot by closing the diaphragm. Ultimately I recommend it absolutely also compared to the 35mm f2, which I had for about a year: as for autofocus I did not find substantial differences, the 35mm f2 is a little more versatile, but both are not suitable for sports photography and moving subjects; as for blurry and three-dimensionality, on the other hand, the plus stop really makes a difference. sent on January 14, 2021 |
![]() | Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR Pros: Solidity, sharpness, WR, aesthetics. Cons: Not found Opinion: Purchased at a lower price than used, I was hit by sharpness (crazy at full aperture), brightness, solidity and speed of focus. Compared to the kit lens I seem to have another room. I'm using it a bit for everything, from portraits to landscapes, and I'm happy with the results. Lens to have absolutely if you use the Fuji system. Only new, but of this I was already aware before buying, the unusable series hood (the Fuji would do a better shape to sell it without the right). sent on September 04, 2017 |
