According to information we have received from a new source, the Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount should be released in November.
With such a low price tag, it’s hard to even think it won’t be worth the money. And yet it’s better to check out some reviews before making any buying decision.
Down below you can find the review of Damian Brown and Christopher Frost.
Now, I am Fujifilm GFX100S shooter myself, so I might be a bit biased. But to everyone who has the budget and is out there looking for the best image quality, then just get one and enjoy its power.
DPReviewTV published a video about their favorite camera and lens combinations for portraits at different price points.
Before we go to their top picks, a few thoughts.
In all combos below $3,000, DPRTV picked third party AF lenses to couple with Sony, Canon or Panasonic bodies. This just shows how precious third party autofocus lenses for a system are, as they help to keep the overall costs down by offering at the same time a good image quality.
Only for Fujifilm, who won the sub 2K category, DPRTV went with the Fujifilm X-S10 and native Fujinon lens: the XF56mmF1.2 (which according to our sources will get a refresh in 2022). Btw, that lens was one of my reliable and trusted workhorses at the recent wedding I shot.
Overall this denotes that Fujifilm just made a terrific error to close their mount for so long. An error, that they finally fixed. Better late than never.
Also, APS-C dominates the sub 2K segment, showing that this sensor size (and lenses) just offers a terrific value for money.
And if money was no issue at all, they’d still get the GFX. It’s simply the best of the best, if you value also features like autofocus, eye detection and other advantages a modern digital camera can offer.
