I'm glad the Tokina found a nice home. As I complained in another thread, I simply don't understand why Fuji does not have an affordable fast fifty, which is the cheapest optical formula to make.

There's

XF 50mm f2 at $500 or above(outside US) - boring and very expensive

XF 56mm f1.2 - can't focus properly in video. Hunts like crazy

XF 50mm 1.0 - super expensive, super impractical, cannot focus properly in video at wider apertures, too heavy, too niche

I just wish when Sigma comes to Fuji, they bring their excellent, superb, marvellous 56mm 1.4 at $400. See its towering status above all - all APS-C lenses. Made in the entire history of APS-C format. From Sonyalphablog:

I'll just buy it and forget about any 50mm lens from Fuji.

Don't forget about the Viltrox 56. It's cheaper than the Sigma and is very sharp with fairly soft bokeh. Focuses well, and it's small and light. My only issue is, i don't mind extra weight and i also have the f/1 so the Viltrox doesn't really get used.
