Re: Portrait Lens Options: Fuji 90mm F2 vs Sigma 50-100 F1.8 w/Fringer

I had the Sigma 18-35 when I shot A-mount, and I LOVED it.  I really loved the images, but it is totally subjective.  I have the 16-55 F2.8, and I really like that lens, and it is also weather-sealed.  I really don’t need the Sigma 18-35 now.  
However, I would like a short/medium telephoto, that has a faster aperture than my 50-140 F2.8 (another great lens), or my 80mm F2.8 macro.  My 56 F1.2 is great, and I use it a lot, but I would like a faster lens at a longer focal length.  So my choices are the Fuji 90 mm F2, the Viltrox 85mm F1.8, or the Sigma 50-100 F1.8.  The Sigma is more flexible as a zoom, but it is a really heavy lens, and that also has an impact.
Hopefully someone on here has experience with some of those 3 lenses.
