I've been following you for ages and like you videos, keep it up. But dam you sir dam you a second time. The 56mm1.4 w/r is by for my fav lens, it is just wonderful and blows me away with the photos I can get from it. I dam you for putting up this videa because at the moment I am on a cycle tour from Mexico to Argentina and what do you know about a week ago while taking pictures of a volcano in Nicaragua 3 guys stopped and robbed me :-( Gone is my XT-4 and my loved 56mm. Cheers for putting up this video (dam you). Can't wait to get another one :-)
Thank you for the long time follow. I am so sorry to hear that you got robbed. I hope that you have insurance or that the people who did that get arrested and that you get your gear back! You did not get hurt also I hope?
@@ThierryGibralta I'm all good thanks, just insurance for breakages not for theft, I will never learn. So it's back the the UK for me and an upgrade to the XT5, and another 56mm, very much my fav lens.
I use this lens to get beautiful pristine results out of the camera, and instead of switching to a wider focal length I'll often try to make panoramas with the 56. The lack of linear motors is disappointing, but they claim that the focus group moves 8 elements, which probably affected their decision. I heard that the Viltrox's 75 is even sharper, but that lens weighs 50% more than Fuji's 56, and the 56 is already pushing my comfort limit at 445g.
Weight is definitely a big factor for myself as well. I don't want to buy a lens if I know I won't want to use if it slows me down. Mobility is a big factor.
Returned mine immediately. Much too loud and too slow. Unacceptable at this price point for me. Waited such a long time for it to replace my 50/1.0. The Viltrox 75/1.2 isn't as noisy.
You wanna say 1.2 ? I have the Sigma 56 1.4, it’s good but not the same league that this one, particularly on colors. Kudos for this purchase really. 👍
I just bought this. At first I didnt like it and regretted to buy it instead of 35mm. it too close. But after few days of experience, it really amazing. I love it and always bring and use it for most of the time. Good: sharp nice photo, nice light, nice aperture!! Bad: focus quite bad. Not good for photography and video
