XF 50mm f2 a "review" which isn't needed and some shots

Why Fuji APS-C? This lens, for example.

I'l be controversial and state that this lens is in a strange 'nether fish nor fowl' territory for me, just me personally.

F2 on APSC as I have seen in many reviews and comparison photos even at 50mm really doesn't compress backgrounds much and has very hard transitions and contrasty bokeh or out of focus areas.

So the 56mm F1.2 make more sense to me in terms of differentiation.  It;s too expensive for e though lol but the Viltrox 56mm F1.4 calls to me much more as it differentiates itself from the 18-55 at 'F3. and a bit' / F4 a lot more than F2 does.

However I say this as an owner of the 23mm F2 which some would think of a strange choice for the same reasons above as I own the 18-55mm which is F3.2 at 23mm and 23mm F2 on crop really doesn't do stunning bokeh either.

But it is my one favourite FL so I pop it on for when I want to do street or go light on social trips etc

So whilst i have outlined why I personally will choose the V 56mm F1.4 over it, I can see why those who actually like it as one of their favourite or their favourite or one of their  main or their main FL would buy it as a sharp small light prime with great IQ

For me though at that FL, as I don't use it much, when I do I want good TONEH out of it or might as well use the kit lens at 55mm F4!

Hope that make sense, it seems very logical to me
