I got my first X-mount camera last month, it's an X-E4 with the 27mm f/2,8 and the 16mm f/2,8.
With those I'm covering about 60% of what I shoot, and I'm thinking about a longish lens.
I already have a couple old manual focus lenses (Hexanon 40 f/1,8 and 50 f/1,4) but I'd love something with autofocus for when I'm out and do an environmental portrait or a shot across the street.
I noticed a big consensus on the speed and sharpness of the xf50mm f/2, but I'm undecided on the bokeh side:
- the new sigma 56mm? reviews on the Sony side are enthusiastic
- the viltrox/tokina 56mm? here reviews seem to indicat that I'd get wide aperture at the expense of a busy bokeh
- I am afraid of the xf56 f/1,2 both because of cost and weight (and maybe slow autofocus?)
- or should I jump higher to the 90mm f/2? my third most used focal length was a tie between 90mm and 120mm-equivalent
Can anyone enlighten me?
