Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN C Pros: extreme sharpness for 40MP, blurred (bokeh), size-to-performance ratio Cons: none Opinion: Excellent investment for my Fujifilm XT50. I confirm what has already been highlighted in other posts and in the various video reviews available on the net: this lens returns exceptional quality and three-dimensionality, capable of taking full advantage of the 40MP sensor and the related Fujifilm crop functions. The weight, a decisive factor in my opinion for a camera body like that of the XT50, is really admissible; the lack of the aperture ring is the only, necessary compromise to be accepted. Together with the Sigma I use the Fuji 23mm f/2.8: a moderate wide angle ideal for 'telling' the environment, a companion both on the street and during my bikepacking trips. sent on 05 Aprile 2026 |

Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Pros: Sharpness, equal weight / footprint: pancakes, aperture ring Cons: In my opinion nothing, perhaps the price. Opinion: I chose this lens for my Fujifilm XT-50 with the idea of maximizing the compactness and lightness of my kit, satisfying my need for portability for bikepacking and street photography. The optical performance is excellent: the image is bright, sharp and capable of fully enhancing the 40 MP sensor. Compared to the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR, I found a slower focusing speed; However, given the comparable image quality and my shooting style, this detail does not affect the user experience. In my backpack (or sometimes directly in my pocket) I keep the Sigma 56mm f/1.4, as a medium telephoto camera, when I need a portrait or a tighter frame. sent on 05 Aprile 2026 |

Fujifilm X-T50 Pros: Image quality, compact and lightweight, film simulations Cons: flash aperture selector, battery life, cost Opinion: After years spent in the company of reflex cameras such as the Canon 7D and the 6D Mark II, accompanied by historical lenses such as the 24-70mm f/2.8, the 70-300mm and the 35mm Macro, I found myself in front of a wall. Whether it was for street photography, hiking or bikepacking, the weight of the equipment was winning out over the desire to photograph. I often left the camera body and lenses at home for convenience, ending up punctually regretting it. I sold everything and got a Fujifilm X-T50. Months later, I don't want to give technical evaluations, but to talk to you about pure newfound passion. With the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR lens, the camera becomes almost pocket-sized. This setup is allowing me to rediscover the pleasure of photography: I love using the physical aperture ring, the film simulation selector and the famous Fujifilm "recipes". Say goodbye to post-production (PP). My challenge today is to get a perfect JPG right in the room, color and/or BW, ready to be shared. I have already tested several lenses, both fixed and zoom (even third-party), with excellent performances. My lens now is to calmly recreate a small essential kit, without duplicates or overlaps, always ready for travel. Accounts in hand, the entire kit will weigh as much (if not less) than my old Canon with a single lens attached. Moving from "tank" bodies such as the 7D and 6D, I had to change my approach, the X-T50 is decidedly more delicate and you have to pay close attention to the lack of tropicalization; the autonomy is limited: it is essential for me to have a backup battery or a powerbank in my backpack; A small annoying defect concerns the flash aperture selector: it is easily attached by slipping the camera into the backpack or pocket, often triggering it unintentionally. Despite these small moles, photography has returned to being a daily pleasure and no longer a burden to be carried. sent on 22 Marzo 2026 |
