hehe, I see aperture ring over optical performance.
Oh well - Your choice

Isn't that's why we shoot with Fujifilm instead of mainstream FF system?

Just kidding. At the time I bought my Viltrox, Sigma 56 wasn't available yet.

As a budget photographer i think i would rather have the viltrox over the Fuji counterpart. I can’t pay over 4x the price for sharpness that i would probably only see during pixel peeking. You can also pickup the viltrox for cheap price as well.

Make sense, but for paid work it's not a bad investment.

What happened to me was when I shoot group photos, or in scenarios I had to put subjects toward the sides. Those on the sides looked soft and blurry.

For creative projects or day to day shooting, Viltrox served alright.
