Re: Am I the only one that doesn’t like the Fujicron Trinity 23,35,50 f2 Lenses?

I've owned the 23 1.4 and the 56 1.4.  Sold them to get a 50-140 as my shooting subjects changed.  Loved those lenses for their speed and rendering.  The AF speeds were adequate.

But I recently bought the trinity because of the great promotions they had on them and thought I'd give them a try since everyone raves about the AF speed, size, and WR.

I ended up returning them - and it wasn't that I disliked them, I just prefer to go with the 1.4s.  (I will be purchasing them one by one shortly again!)  You can't seem to have everything in one lens and I believe it's just a matter of preference.  For me, I am willing to sacrifice the price, compact form factor, and WR for the extra speed and color rendering.

Others will prefer it the other way and I don't see any problem with that - pick your poison.
