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.

The 90mm balances so nicely you don't feel the weight once attached to the camera and the mass makes up for the lack of stabilization.
