Fujifilm X-T3 vs Canon 5D Mark IV, bokeh @ 50mm, f/1.4 (equiv.)

These are good examples. But unless Fuji Bring out a 35mm f0.95 Auto focus lens, we won’t have an exact equivalent, to be able to say “ FF doesn’t matte”. Because we see in your test, it does matter, when you want shallow depth of field and auto focus. You just won’t get it with a crop censor.

That's a fair point, and if you need auto-focus, there is no comparison, I agree.

But the main reason I moved to Fuji is to downsize, so accepting manual focus experience was something I was more then willing to do for the sake of it, too, keeping the output/result (image) somewhat the same being a more important goal.

Adding auto-focus into the whole design would unavoidably make the lens bigger and heavier, in which case one could/should just stick with full-frame and 50mm f/1.4 again...

For an example, just look what happened to Fuji's own 33mm f/1 attempt, later scrapped for 50mm f/1 instead to keep the bulk reasonable, and not requiring a lens foot to handle, lol (where neither 50mm f/1 is a small lens by any means).

Even though I had no previous manual focusing experience, I've adapted more than fine (finding it superior for some applications, even), having me wish Fuji would release a set of fast but small manual-focus-only primes, with electronic contacts (for EXIF, for example) - in fact exactly what Cosina Voigtlander has been doing as of lately.
