Get the 90mm

I had the 56mm (2 copies over the course of 2 years) I recently picked up a used XT4 with less than 4K shots in amazing condition and sold a ton of gear to end up with a 90mm F2, 33mm F1.4 and the 18mm F1.4 (still waiting for the 18mm to ship) and this arrangement works for me. I also kept the 50mm F2.

the 90 is just mind blowing. Tack sharp and renders portraits super nicely. Great compression and bokeh … I thought I was going to dread the size and weight but to be honest I’m okay with it and haven’t regretted the purchase. I actually paid full price for this one not a used copy.

I don’t miss selling the 56mm F1.2 and even though it’s a step of light brighter than the 90mm F2 , the 90mm for me takes the cake.  I posted a thread about it and attached some sample pictures nothing crazy but I love the 90mm

if you are super torn between the 2 just rent them and figure out what works for you.
