The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

An excellent thing for this money, I thought for a long time whether to overpay for fujinon 1.2 and decided not to overpay, but to take this one. I also had a mark2 with 85mm 1.2 (ii usm), and fifty kopecks was 1.0, this Chinese thing is currently very happy for its money, and it is light and small, I am satisfied. So far the first day I'm only with him, but I already realized that the lens is worthy. Autofocus is fast

Pros
  • Beautiful, durable, shoots well, price / quality
Cons
  • Yes, everything was justified, I don’t like that the aperture ring moves out if it is touched, they didn’t fix it with clicks, but oh well

A good product, more pros than cons.

Maybe someone will be able to close their eyes to this constantly moving aperture ring, but for me it became a decisive factor, I sold the lens. Some pros: Beautiful drawing, volume, plasticity. Fast and accurate autofocus. Light weight, durable metal construction including lens hood. Its cons: The aperture ring, which constantly goes astray from 1.4 to 1.6, 1.8 and so on.

Great Lens for Fujifilm X-mount!

As a result of using this lens, I found that it is a great addition to my camera bag. The autofocus is quick and accurate, making it perfect for portraits and low-light situations. The bokeh is smooth and the depth-of-field is fantastic. The build quality is solid and it feels great in my hand. The only downside is that it is a bit heavy, but that's a small price to pay for such high-quality optics. Overall, I highly recommend this lens to any Fujifilm X-mount user looking for a top-quality…

Pros
  • Fast f/1.4 aperture for excellent low-light performance and shallow depth of field
Cons
  • Some users have reported autofocus issues with certain camera models

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

In general, I consider the lens a good deal for my money. Yes, it is not without flaws, but if you know its weaknesses and make allowances for this, then you will get very decent results at the output. If you don’t want to deal with aberrations in difficult conditions and are ready to put up with slow AF, then it’s better to overpay and take your native XF56 F / 1.2. That is, in this focal length, it seems to me, the choice is between two different compromise solutions, one of which is about 2…

Pros
  • Sharp in the center from F1.4, around the edges IMHO from about F4-5.6. Sharp at the level of native fuji optics, with the exception of the top-end glasses "with a red nameplate". Fast autofocus. The cooler and newer the fuji carcass, the more noticeable. Noticeably faster than the slightly outdated XF56mm 1.2.
Cons
  • It has been discussed many times everywhere - chromatic aberrations in backlight. They can be insignificant, but if you want to shoot portraits against the background of a light source, for example, a softbox, then it can give out such a bold contour that you can’t remove it with any quick post-processing.

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

Strongly recommend to buy Pros below: Fixes are loved for the picture - this is their main purpose, a solid aperture, portrait focal length. Amazing plasticity on an open hole and a razor at 2.8 and above. Bokeh is very nice, oily Tenacious, almost silent autofocus, the aperture blades rustle a little loudly. The workmanship is worthy of the original lens, but not the Chinese brand Fairly light, pleasant to the touch, completely metal. In the box is pale, a case, everything is very pleasant!…
