A 56mm Street Photography lens for Fuji? 

What are your go to Fuji lenses?

140$ wow. I recently got this for the sony a6700 and i think its amazing! . but i paid 300$ i think. you lucky bastard! I should add , I was so blown away by the 56mm and went ahead and bought the 27mm and the two more expensive 1.2 lenses they make. Viltrox on the a6700 is pure bliss , autofocus is stunning and the look is fabulous. cheers

Dude the production quality of your videos has exploded! I remember when I first subbed when you just started your channel. Started from the bottom and you still climbing bro!

You are so talented for recognizing interesting details in ordinary street things and edit them to further emphasize them.

Pretty nice deal. I have the 56mm 1.2 Fuji lens, and though I like it, I have zero need for the 1.2. I never understood the obsession with ultra wide apertures. I shoot 90% of my work with it at F2 and up. I wish I bought this instead.

Seems like a real winner. Sharpness seems incredible for a lens this cheap. Better than Viltrox's previous 56, while significantly smaller. I just wish that more of these 3rd party Fuji lenses (heck, any of them really) could use the focus ring as an aperture ring when in AF modes. For me, that's kind of the only flaw with the lens, considering the price. Personally, I just got myself the 60/2.4, and don't regret it at all. Fairly cheap for a like-new used copy, and it's got an awesome build quality, decently compact, excellent rendering, but the big thing for me is the impressive close focus. While I don't really need full 1:1 macro, with "portrait" lenses I mostly don't actually shoot people but small things that happen to be around when I'm out walking. As such, the fact that it focuses significantly closer than Fuji portrait lenses (Fuji, Viltrox, Sigma, Samyang 50, 56, and 75mm offerings) goes a long way for me. Autofocus could be better, but it's fast enough for me, and just suits my needs more. Something like the Viltrox 75/1.2, which I know is optically excellent, is just bigger than I want and doesn't focus close enough. I'd rather trade off that very narrow aperture for a lot more compactness and a better minimum focus distance.

Loads of great shot there. I usually use a 28mm on the street too but I might have to try this one now!

Just got a replacement copy for mine. The mount was so dang tight that it caused my XS20 to go nuts. Here's hoping the replacement performs as well as your copy! Love the videos bro!

I bought this lens as soon as I heard about it. Have loved it, it's so light on my xt30ii and it's now my go to portrait lens.

Good intro to the lens, the sound bed drives you along.

Welcome to Seattle. Outside of the Pike Street Market the streets are empty. Was walking the downtown streets two weeks ago. During one period I didn’t see a person for two blocks. This was at 10 AM. I’ve been here 22 years. I keep reminding myself this is not NYC. Nowhere close. I already own the Fuji 56. Too late for me. I don’t want to duplicate a focal length I already own and don’t want to go through the effort of selling the glass I already own. Really like your image at 8:50. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

Thank you for the video. I just used your Amazon link to place my order. Stay safe.

KingJvpes -- thanks for the video and hat tip for this lens. It looks great!

Viltrox 56 f1.7 vs 7artisans 50 f0.9 ,which one do you choose

Do you use any nd filter for the 23 f2 lens? Thanks!

The ttartisan 50mm f 1.2 is smaller and cheaper also great quality but it's fully manual

Nice review. Christopher Frost has a very technical review of this same lens and worth a look.

Just bought one...

So this is basically a cheaper version of the viltrox 56 1.4? That one is pretty cheap too, made of metall and has an apperture ring, i guess a middleground between this one and fuji 56 1.2. Think i would rather have the 1.4 tho, its small too, not much bigger than the 1,7 i would guess

The sigma 56mm on the fuji is fantasically sharp and really small too

Does that have an aperture ring?

Once the Xpro-4 comes out i will sell my X100VI i don't like ..

Is this all manual lenses or auto?

Meh, again with 200 Euros too overpriced in Europe. I hate it.

once again mediocre shots over edited. thanks for the youtube slop sir.
