You generally need to keep your shutter speed at 1/125 or more on a lens like that hand held for consistent results.

The biggest thing you get from the 90 is compression, autofocus and reach. Are you missing that with the 56 currently? 85 and 135 are classic focal lengths for portraits, each work well but depends ...

Even somebody in shape can get tired by carrying excess gear so they don't necessarily correlate. Having a bag of weight on you for 10 hours or too much around your neck can just wear you in the ...

Re: London. But this is why you shoot stuff there that hasn't been done or do street photography. Anything else get a post card. This is often why I'm fine with just a 35 FOV walking around as I'm ...

While I don't shoot Canon anymore... for an enthusiast non-professional photographer, it would be really hard to recommend any DSLR, any brand in 2019... as others have said, Canon is offering a ...

Since you have and plan on keeping another camera "system," I'd get the X100F, for sure. I was in a similar position (many of us have been) and just decided to go all in on Fuji and get rid of the ...

Negative, but it does have the aperture ring and a big focus throw. Haven't used it, watched several reviews...looked nice and smaller/cheaper alternative to the fuji 90.

It looks like you already bought this one...but there is a new Samyang 85mm 1.8 designed for Fuji mirrorless.

Are any of these super zooms actually "good" besides the massive Canon 28-300? I had the Nikon 18-200 and wasn't a fan of the images into the telephoto range. I might eventually get the 16-80 ...

I'd see little use for the 56 1.2. Are you doing a portrait session there or shooting a concert? My current travel kit is the 18-55 for flexibility, 27 for pocketability, and 23 1.4 if I'm shooting ...

Most definitely there are between calphalon, all clad, le creuset, kitchen aid etc

Size wise it is fine. If you are holding one handed, it will pull it down in the front. It's just a little fat. Here are the other options in that range... https://mirrorlesscomparison.com/wp-conte ...

This could come into play with street photography. Where a smaller lens could be shot one handed where the 56 will pull the body down unless you have really strong wrists.

It isn't huge, but it's also not tiny either... Definitely usable. If you have used one before, it's about the size of a Nikon 85mm 1.8g or Canon 1.8 USM....but a much better build and faster ...

If not getting a kit and body only, and for the cost of used lenses, why not the 18-55? I've tried out and compared the others and they just weren't a fit for me, regardless of image quality. I ...

This would be nice. Even a 16-45 f4. Similar to the 24-70 f4 macro that canon makes but for crop. It could be the new version of the 18-55 and stay relatively small and compact.

Good post. Sigma Arts are nice. Only problem is they don't hold their value as much as name brand lenses usually if/when you sell it/upgrade.

Are you shooting this with a filter? I've got it with filters before.

I don't think you can compare the XT3 to the a6400... I see it more as the lower level cam like XT30/XE3...which are fine, but it's not an XT3.

I don't like either for portraiture if I have the room prefer longer lenses...50/56/60/90 would all be preferable, and not just for head shots, but full body as well, unless purposely doing an ...
